Augusta car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users
Insights shared by verified travellers who rented a car in Augusta
While the downtown area of Augusta is walkable and there is access to public transportation, much of the attraction to the city comes from the draw of the Master’s Tournament and, more broadly, Augusta National Golf Course. Opting for an Augusta car rental will allow you to easily go between your hotel, the course, and restaurants, even providing access to outdoor recreation areas in the more rural regions of the city. During periods when events are hosted in Augusta, rentals may also be a cost-effective option compared to taxis and rideshares, as prices typically surge during these times.
There are several car rental companies at the Augusta Regional Airport (AGS), including Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget, National, Thrifty, and Payless. Travelers who have opted for a car rental in Augusta, and who are picking up their vehicles at the airport, will want to exit the terminal from baggage claim and head directly across the street to the Rental Car Ready / Return area, which sits between Lot D Short-Term Parking and Lot A Long-Term Parking.
The city of Augusta is easy to navigate and the roadways are simple to drive. Since there are several points of interest near the Olde Towne and downtown districts, such as the Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson and the Augusta Museum of History, numerous pedestrians are wandering the space at any given time. Drivers are encouraged to keep an eye out for people crossing streets, even in places where there is no formal crosswalk.
The weather in Augusta is hot in the summer and temperate in the winter, making snow and ice a non-issue for drivers in the city. However, if you've opted for a car rental in Augusta during the summer—specifically sometime during June through August—you'll want to keep an eye on the weather as this is the rainy season. Ensure the windshield whippers are in working order and, if driving a convertible, check the forecast before putting the top down. While in Augusta for the week-long Master’s Tournament, you’ll want to plan your commute to the course carefully to avoid traffic before and after rounds. Otherwise, Augusta is considered one of the least traffic-laden cities in the state, practically unaffected by traditional rush hours.
FAQs about renting a car in Augusta
What type of car is recommended for driving in Augusta?
A suitable vehicle for a visit to Augusta is a sedan or economy car, as smaller vehicles provide drivers with the agility to navigate urban streets and, in the summer months when the heat can be sweltering and tropical storms can arise, the interiors offer dry and air-conditioned refuge. In spring and fall, convertibles can be an enjoyable choice for renters.
What’s the speed limit in Augusta?
Drivers can expect major highways, such as Interstate 520 (also known as Bobby Jones Expressway) to have a posted speed limit of 65mph. On other roads throughout the municipality, drivers can expect posted speed limits to be around 35mph. When in the downtown area, this drops to between 25mph and 30mph.
Where are the best places to park in Augusta?
Augusta has several parking places available to visitors. For a lot of options in downtown and Old Towne, drivers should head to Broad Street—also known as Route 1—where the parking lots are accessible and conveniently near areas of interest. Many lots will be pay-to-park options, which can cost around $1.50 per hour, but there are free parking spots in the city if you can snag one.

Vehicle was great - pickup they tried to tell me they didn’t have a vehicle available and wanted to deny me since i was a same day pickup. I had reserved a vehicle nearly a month before Dropping off was amazing but i still haven’t got my emailed receipt 3 days later
The rental process was quick and easy. The only problem that I had, there was no instructions as to what I do on return. Usually there is someone to tell you what to do.( Leave your keys in the car or take them with you.)
I reserved a car for last Monday. When I arrived at AGS, there were no cars. I was told that having a reservation does not mean that a car would be available!! The agent told me there would not be any cars until Wednesday. I had to take a taxi to my hotel and find other transportation for the rest of my trip.

I booked car way in advance. When I went to pick the car at Budget there was note to go to Avis window, when after waiting in line end up with the front person she told me car in not available at present may take an hour or more. I asked for any alternate car she said does not have any other car. Asked her name she said she is not supposed to give the name. When asked for supervisor she said not available. I than asked if car was not available why did not someone call me or email me. She than called the marshal on me. It was a terrible experience I left the airport and got car from another company.

They over charge me more then $40, I don’t know why.
They let me book with a debit card, then refused to rent the car to me with that same debit card. I didn’t bring my credit card with me on my trip. They wouldn’t let me do Apple Pay with the credit card. I couldn’t get the rental. I had to call someone with a credit card in hand to meet me there (my credit card was in Tampa while I was in Augusta.) then because I was using a different card than what I booked with, they said they couldn’t use my original reservation. I ended up paying TWICE as much for the rental than what I agreed upon. Would never recommend to anyone!

Had vehicle booked a couple days ahead of time for 0700 pickup. When I arrived to pick vehicle up they told me they had no vehicles available and that they wouldn’t have any until the afternoon. Completely ruined my trip
We never received the rental because the location did not have the type of car we reserved available. They were waiting for vehicles to be returned, but they could not provide us with a time frame for when one would be ready.
