rental car insurance at the counter is a scam,had to use it last december,returned the car ,walked around before turning it back.I get a notice and photo of major crack in windshield,No way I could have missed, Comes to find out Avis counter insurance is a 3rd party,out of Australia.They don't take calls,I called the parking security to see if their camera had my car.Turns out the video had all ready been erased.Even though you get the insurance at Avis thinking it would be easy to use,it a MAJOR PAIN.After trying to use their insurance ,I turned it over to my credit card company,They handled it in no time,Check your car over when you rent it take photos,and when you return it,take photos

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 rental 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.
Small rental cars in Chattanooga are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

Reserved a mini van months in advance. When I arrived to pick up my rental I was told there was no mini vans available and was forced to take an SUV. We drove 12.5 hours crammed in a rental I did not reserve. Absolutely the worst rental experience. Will never rent here again.

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.

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.
