KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Decatur

  • Are you planning a family vacation in Decatur? Consider booking a car rental in Decatur to avoid relying on public transportation services for your trips. They have a set schedule that may not fit yours. Decatur car rentals also give you the peace of mind to focus on enjoying and giving your family unforgettable trips. Furthermore, renting a car in Decatur saves money, time, and energy because you'll not commute from one bus terminal to another. You will gain the convenience of vising places such as Leisure Time RV Park and John Tanner County Park, all located 51 miles from the city centre. Car rentals can conveniently get you there.
  • You will land at Huntsville International Airport (HSV), 14.4 miles from the city center. The most popular car rental agency includes Enterprise, Avis, Hertz, Budget, Alamo, Thrifty, Dollar, and National. All car rental company desks are at the 1000 Glenn Hearn Blvd SW airport terminal. Self-service is available to reduce long lines at the rental counters. The benefit of renting your car from the airport location is that it's reliable and affordable.
  • Driving is generally a safe, easy, and enjoyable experience in Decatur; thanks to well-developed roads. However, there are a few things you should be mindful of. For instance, when driving your car rentals in Decatur, you'll encounter motorbikes using the same lane as motorists. Be sure to keep a keen eye on them, especially when approaching or overtaking them. Another thing you need to look out for is jaywalking. Jaywalking is still common in the city, and may impact your driving experience. Slow down when approaching populated areas, like commuter areas and business zones.
  • Like other cities in the United States, Decatur experiences traffic congestion during rush hours. On weekdays, the morning rush hour starts from 7:00 to 9:00 am and the evening rush hours begin from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Avoid traveling during these periods if it's not urgent. You can plan your trips before or after the rough hours. Avoid places with dense human traffic, like commuter centers.

There were not any actual cars there for us to rent even though we had booked in advanced. They did not try and call to let me know either.

We were expecting a midsize vehicle, but when we arrived all they had was a minivan. I was concerned about it getting terrible gas mileage and being bigger than we needed, but it worked out alright. It was comfortable for the 2 weeks we had it and the gas wasn't as good as we would have liked, but we enjoyed the space and comfort for the amount of time we spent on the road.
