KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sanford
- Using car rentals in Sanford offers numerous advantages. With a rental car, you can explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace, enjoying the convenience of personalized travel. Unlike public transport, which might have limitations on destinations and schedules, a rental car allows you to visit off-the-beaten-path attractions and make spontaneous stops. It's especially advantageous for families or groups, as it offers cost-effective mobility and eliminates the need to adhere to fixed routes or timetables. With Sanford car rentals, you can visit areas like the picturesque Jordan Lake State Recreation Area, the historic Railroad House Museum, and the serene San-Lee Park.
- Raleigh/Durham (RDU) Airport and Fayetteville Municipal (FAY) are the most convenient airports to land at when you visit Sanford by air. The RDU car rental companies provide complimentary shuttle service to their offices located on the airport premises. To reach your rental car, take the designated shuttle bus for your rental company from the green Rental Car shuttle stops outside the baggage claim zone. At Terminal 1, the shuttle stop is identified as Zone 4, while at Terminal 2, it is situated in Zone 5. The FAY rental facility is situated within the confines of the baggage claim region, while the area for picking up rental vehicles is located just a brief distance from there.
- Driving car rentals in Sanford is a fun experience. Driving in Sanford generally involves a calm and relaxed driving atmosphere. Drivers tend to respect traffic rules, contributing to a safer experience. While the city sees a mix of vehicles, the common ones include sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Bicycles and pedestrians are less prevalent on the roads, and jaywalking is uncommon. The driving style is courteous, making it a pleasant and predictable environment for travelers using car rentals to explore Sanford.
- Driving car rentals in Sanford can pose challenges during peak hours, particularly morning (7 am to 9 am) and evening (5 pm to 7 pm) rush hours. Traffic congestion is more likely along significant roads like US-1 and NC-87, affecting commute times. Downtown streets may be trickier due to narrower lanes and limited parking spaces. Avoid peak times if possible, and consider using navigation apps for real-time traffic updates. You might also encounter occasional road maintenance or construction, leading to detours or temporary road closures.

Nov 2016
Pros:
The team at the enterprise location were great-friendly and accommodating.Cons:
The price I was quoted on the booking site (kayak) was less than half of the price I was quoted when I arrived at the Enterprise location, even though the booking was finally done on an Enterprise website. The manager said that even though I had a quote in writing it could not be honored because it was made through a 3rd party site (again, final booking was done through Enterprise and they did have my reservation). Todd, the manager, went on to explain that the site did not understand the taxes in North Carolina, so they were not correct in their final quote. This made no sense at all, but I had already made plans that could not be cancelled and had no choice but to accept the higher price. The manager offered an upgrade at $5.00 more per day, but still far more than I had planned to pay and had I known would have made other arrangements. I won't book through a 3rd party site such as Kayak again since, even though I had a written quote, was told it could not be honored. I wonder why Enterprise did not inform me of this beforehand?10.0 Wonderful
