Rental Cars in Atlanta
Posted: Fri April 11, 2008 09:14 PM UTC

Hi all!

I'm headed down to Atlanta for a wedding in July. I'm flying into ATL, and will need to rent a car for a couple days. Rental costs at the airport are close to double what I've found at non-airport car places...but I'm not sure how I'd get there.

Are there any rental car companies accessible by MARTA that aren't aiport locales? I'm going to be hit with the under-25 fees as it is, so if I can save $30/day renting a few miles away, that would be really nice.

Thanks so much!

There are several car rental places on Courtland Street in downtown Atlanta. It would be a short walk (less than a mile) from the 5 Points MARTA station. Just look for a Courtland St location for the rental company you like. There are doubtless others as well. If you find one but are not sure about the locatin, let me know and I will try to help.

And if Rex isn't online, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

What weekend is the wedding? Have played tour guide and chauffeur for other VT'ers, so wouldn't mind doing so again if that could help you out. I live about 5 minutes away from the airport. :)

You guys are awesome :) :) :) I'll check out the locations you suggested!

I'll be in town the 2nd-4th (the wedding's on Thursday), so it's going to be super quick. My husband is the best man, so we'll be busy bees with wedding stuff those days I'm sure--but thank you so much for offering to play tour guide! We drove down last summer for a week to visit, and enjoyed Atlanta immensely :)

I'm glad you enjoyed Atlanta! It's becoming one of the better cities in the US, but has a ways to go before it is truly a rival of New York, Chicago or the like. We are well on our way though!
