Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Chattanooga

  • Chattanooga SUV rentals are a great way to get around this charming southern Tennessee city. Chattanooga is surrounded by beautiful nature and lots of outdoor attractions, so an SUV with four-wheel drive will be beneficial when exploring the rough terrain. An SUV also provides plenty of space for extra passengers or camping or hiking gear. Furthermore, you’ll blend in seamlessly with the locals as this car type is quite popular in this area. Explore Chattanooga like a local in comfort and style in Chattanooga SUV rentals.
  • Chattanooga, Tennessee, is mainly served by Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA). You can pick up Chattanooga SUV rentals directly from here, allowing you to start your adventure right after you land. There are plenty of car rental agencies on site, including Budget, Avis, Alamo, Dollar, and others. These companies have desks in the arrivals area of the airport near the baggage claim, making access to your SUV rentals in Chattanooga quick and easy.
  • Driving in Chattanooga can be somewhat challenging, but it’s made easier with Chattanooga SUV rentals. The area is mountainous and the roads can be winding, but they are typically paved and in good condition. Local drivers tend to be somewhat aggressive, but they still follow the rules of the road most of the time. You may also need to watch out for wildlife on the roads especially when outside of urban areas. Within the city center, the roads can be narrow and crowded, so you will need to be cautious.
  • The main challenge you’ll face when driving SUV rentals in Chattanooga will be the rough terrain. The hilly roads and sharp turns in the mountains can be challenging and dangerous to navigate, especially in the dark or during rain or snow. This is why an SUV with all-wheel drive will make your driving experience in this city much safer and easier. In the city center, you will need to watch for pedestrians, as some people may cross the street without warning.
  • Book your SUV rental in Chattanooga at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • January is typically the cheapest month to rent an SUV in Chattanooga, with prices around $78 per day. The most expensive month is December, with average prices of $87 per day.

FAQs About Renting an SUV in Chattanooga

  • Where is the best car rental location in Chattanooga to rent SUVs?

    If you are flying into Chattanooga, the best place to pick up your SUV is going to be the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA). If you are not flying in, though, you can get your SUV at many other locations throughout the city. The most convenient is likely going to be the Enterprise branch located in Chattanooga’s downtown area on W 20th Street, as it is easy to reach from all other areas of downtown. There are also a few rental agencies located in the suburbs of Chattanooga if those are closer to your location.

  • What is the most reliable SUV model to rent in Chattanooga?

    The Jeep Renegade is one of the most reliable and popular brands of SUVs to rent in Chattanooga. This is because although it comes with all the comforts and space of an SUV, it is still somewhat compact and can fit into tight spaces easily, making parking and navigating narrow roads more convenient for you. Another popular option is the Toyota RAV4, renowned for its safety features and reliability on the road.

  • Where are the best places to park SUVs in Chattanooga, Tennessee?

    Parking SUVs in Chattanooga should not be a challenge. There are plenty of parking options downtown, including the Chattanooga Parking Authority garage, the Republic Parking System garage, and the Republic parking lot. These public parking places typically charge $2 or $3 for an hour of parking. There is also metered parking available downtown, which will typically charge a bit less than the garages and public lots. Otherwise, you may consider looking for accommodation that offers free parking to guests.

  • How does KAYAK find such low SUV rental prices?

    KAYAK compares SUV rental prices from all major car rental companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

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.

Ted, Dec 2019

Pros:

The employee, a young fellow, was very helpful to me. He even checked the tire pressure with a gauge when I mentioned that one front tire looked low. It was a little low. The car was perfect for us; it carried some furniture home, and we really enjoyed using Sirius XM to listen to music during our long drive home. Finally, the hybrid got super gas mileage during our drive to Washington, D.C., using only 1.5 tanks of gas.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was fine.

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.

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.

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.
