Decided on a Car Rental in Savannah? Here’s All You Need to Know:

Savannah, Georgia, with its historic charm and Southern hospitality, is best explored at your own pace. If you've decided on a car rental in Savannah, Bookingautos is here to help you navigate the process and make the most of your trip. We compare offers from all major international and local car rental companies to ensure you get the best deal possible.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

When selecting a car rental in Savannah, consider the following factors:

  • Trip duration and distance
  • Number of passengers
  • Luggage requirements
  • Fuel efficiency
  • Planned activities (city driving vs. coastal excursions)

Savannah's historic district is known for its narrow streets and limited parking, so a compact or mid-size car might be more suitable for city exploration. However, if you're planning trips to nearby beaches or Fort Pulaski National Monument, a larger vehicle could provide more comfort.

Rental Locations and Pickup Options

Most major car rental companies have locations at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, making it convenient to pick up your vehicle upon arrival. However, there are also several downtown locations if you prefer to explore the city first before getting your rental car.

Insurance and Additional Fees

While basic insurance is often included in your rental, consider purchasing additional coverage for peace of mind. Be aware of potential extra fees such as:

  • Young driver surcharge (typically for drivers under 25)
  • Additional driver fees
  • GPS rental
  • Child seat rental

Always read the terms and conditions carefully before booking to avoid surprises.

Exploring Savannah and Beyond

With your rental car, you'll have the freedom to explore Savannah's beautiful squares, historic homes, and nearby attractions like Tybee Island. Don't forget to familiarize yourself with local parking regulations, especially in the historic district where parking can be limited.

By choosing Bookingautos for your car rental needs in Savannah, you'll have access to a wide range of vehicles at competitive prices. Our comparison service ensures you get the best value for your money, allowing you to focus on enjoying your trip to this enchanting Southern city.

Book a car in advance

Savannah is a popular tourist destination, so car rental is consistently in demand. The earlier you book a car, the more options there will be and the lower the prices will be. Choose transport online at least 6 weeks before your visit. Better yet, do it as soon as you start planning your vacation. If plans change, you can cancel your booking without penalty up to 48 hours before it starts.

Which car to choose for rent

Tourists who expect to drive only around the city and its immediate surroundings prefer to rent compact cars, VW Up or Opel Astra. For trips to the mountains, you need a car with increased power. You should go on such a trip with a full tank, as fuel consumption in the mountains increases one and a half to two times. An all-wheel drive crossover would be the ideal car for this. Renting Renault Megane Estate in Savannah will cost €34 per day.

What you need to pay attention to at the time of receiving a car

Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery. You should check the ignition and the fuel level in the tank. You need to know the conditions for returning the car - where exactly, with what amount of fuel to return the car.

The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company. It is designed so that customers can get help in emergency situations, such as when a car breaks down or in the event of an accident. A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.

Insurance recommendations

Rental companies in Savannah may offer different insurance options. They differ in price and set of options. Here are the basic types:

  • Third Party Liability (TPL)/Third Liability Protection (TLP). This is a third party liability protection. If you are the culprit of an accident, the insurance will compensate for the costs of the victims for you.
  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). This is to protect your vehicle from any damage. She works with a franchise. This is the amount that you will have to pay in case of damage in any case. The company will cover anything over the limit. The insurance does not cover theft.
  • Theft Insurance (TI)/Theft Protection (TP)/Theft Waiver (TW). This is car theft protection. Operates with a franchise.
  • Super Loss Damage Waiver (SLDW)/Theft Protection+Collision Damage Waiver (TP+CDW). Full protection against theft and damage, even if you are the culprit of the accident.
  • Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). This is medical insurance for the driver and passengers.

If you want to save money and choose the cheapest insurance, carefully inspect the car upon receipt. Make sure the machine is not damaged. Savannah 2

Fuel Policy

When renting a car, you should pay attention to the fuel policy of rental companies. Often, when renting, tourists have to pay the cost of a full tank of fuel. This option is suitable for long-term rentals and long trips. But if you're only renting Savannah for a day or two, or if you're only planning short trips, such as to a small island, then you probably won't need a full tank. You can get acquainted with the fuel policy in the "Important information" section of the car you have chosen.

Rent without mileage limit

The rental company may set a daily mileage limit. You will have to pay extra for exceeding the limit. Please check this condition before booking. It is possible that a more expensive rental option will turn out to be more profitable in the end: it will not require any additional expenses. To filter cars with unlimited mileage - use the "Mileage" filter in the search results.

Compare prices and conditions from different car rental companies

When choosing a rental car in Savannah, you should carefully read all the terms of the rental. This is due to the fact that different companies may differ not only in rental prices, but also in conditions for limiting mileage, the cost of additional services, and the amount of the deposit. To compare rental conditions, it is convenient to use the search and booking system on our website.

How to choose a rental company

Pay attention to the car park. Large and reliable companies regularly buy new cars.

Car pick-up procedure

You should show a voucher and personal documents. A manager draws up a lease agreement. The deposit is blocked on the card.

Before leaving the rental, turn on the ignition, find out the amount of fuel and compare it with what is written in the contract.

Inspect the car carefully. Point out to the manager any paint chips and scuffs. The employee must record the damage. Take a photo yourself: they should show the defect, the number of the car and the employee of the rental company. This will help to avoid problems when returning the car: it will prove that it was not you who torn the upholstery or scratched the fender.
