Driving in Chatanooga is easy. Highways are well marked and there is plenty of everything within driving distance. At my time of travel (June 2023) gas prices were some of the lowest I’ve seen in the country.

There are many attractions to explore in and around Chattanooga, including Ruby Falls, the aquarium, and the various parks dotting the area. In order to make the most of your trip to Chattanooga and also get the opportunity to explore the surroundings, rent a car for your time there. It is only a one-hour drive to the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest, and those who want to pay a visit to Tennessee’s capital can be there by car in two hours.
Chattanooga Airport is only 13 miles from the heart of the city, and the fastest way to reach your next destination is by picking up a hire car from one of the onsite agencies, such as Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise. Head to the baggage claim area, where the agency desks are located, and choose from a wide variety of cars for your time in Chattanooga.
Nestled at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, traveling in and around Chattanooga can require mountain driving, so it is advisable to familiarize yourself with driving on steep routes. It is essential to reduce your speed and shift into a lower gear when driving down a mountain so the brakes don’t overheat. Within the city limits, there are no unique requirements regarding driving and drivers should face no problems.
Rush hour hits Chattanooga between 7 and 9 am and 5 and 8 pm, and especially the I-24 can be clogged up during this time, with commuters going to Nashville or Birmingham. Also be careful when driving in Chattanooga during winter, as snow is a regular companion of the cold months -- and slow down considerably when the roads are icy.
Book your car hire in Chattanooga at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
Supplier choice hire cars in Chattanooga are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

Everyone was friendly and helpful

Cons:

Anonymous, Apr 2021

Cons:

The vehicle wasn’t cleaned and didn’t have any gas, so we had to switch to another, but same sized. Long line at check in, had to wait over 30 minutes and then spent another 20 minutes or so with the associate. The associates were great though. Wished the car had an entertainment package for the money. Will rent there again.

cynthia, Mar 2021

Pros:

Helpful staff that didn’t get irritated at having a full house of rental customers within 30 minutes of closing time. Positive attitudes were all around.

Cons:

I was renting a vehicle for a short trip that I did not want to use my primary vehicle during but I was not aware I could not leave my vehicle on the enterprise lot overnight. The staff helped me come up with a solution though and it was greatly appreciated. This fact though should probably be better advertised to your customers.

6.8 Okay

Anonymous, Sept 2020

Pros:

The pickup was easy, but the drop off was like, "ok, thank you, have a good day"

Cons:

I wish the drop off would have been just as good as the pickup. Also allow others to smell the inside of the car before they sign.

I requested to pick up a car from the airport location. Day of a Budget representative contacted me to notify they received my reservation, but did not have a car available to give me. I then called the general help line who altered my reservation to a different pickup location. When I arrived they informed me they were the ones that had contacted me originally. I then called the Budget office at the airport directly, where my original pickup was supposed to be scheduled for, and had them transfer my reservation to their location. This was an incredible inconvenience as we were visiting the city where the reservation was made and had to coordinate transportation multiple times to pickup the car. Additionally receiving notice the morning of added unnecessary stress to a vacation. I will definitely not be using your services for future reservations.

Picked up the first rental car on my lunch break and while on the way I noticed a massive vibration under acceleration at highway speeds. I had to make another trip back to the rental location and fill that car up with gas so I could pick up another one. The second one was nicer and the lady that helped me was amazing. While the second vehicle was nicer the roof leaked on me every day that it rained (4 out of 5 days). My left shoulder was constantly getting wet as a result. I was not happy about that and no one offered to do anything about it when I dropped it off so overall it was just ok almost a thumbs down.

Avis at CHA was so much better than the other airport car rental agencies we have used. Fantastic rides at a great price, and actually had the cars on hand and ready to go versus other agencies at CHA. Staff was great as well. We drove ~1,400 miles over Christmas and were genuinely thankful for the great ride and experience.
