The truth is, you’ll do mostly highway driving during your visit to Atlanta. Most commuters in Atlanta drive really fast on the freeway and thus you might have to pick up speed really quickly. Consequently, you’ll want to rent a car with strong acceleration. Also, because it can get very hot in the summer months, you’ll need a good air conditioning system.
When driving on the highway in Atlanta, you’ll be able to drive at speeds of 70 miles per hour on the freeway and 65 miles per hour on state divided highways. While driving through neighborhoods, in keeping with Georgia law, you’ll need to stay below 30 mph.
If you are lodging in downtown Atlanta, your hotel might provide free parking. If you are not staying downtown but hope to see some of the sights, you might have to search hard for a place to park. This is especially true during the weekdays and business hours. Public parking in garages or self-parking lots might be your best option. Consider the parking garage at Peachtree Center or Georgia Pacific Center, as they are centrally located and allow you to walk to Skyview Atlanta, the children’s museum, the Atlanta Central Library, and Hard Rock Café.

Ariana, May 2021
Pros:
I made my reservation online only two days in advance, and I was able to walk into the rental office and leave with my rented car only a few minutes later! The same representative helped me with pick-up and drop-off, and she was very helpful and professional both times. Also, setting up my reservation through Kayak helped make things simple as well.Cons:
Nothing! I've used another car rental service nearby in Downtown Atlanta, and frankly this Enterprise offered me fewer issues and a better value for my experience. If I need another car rental, I will probably be returning here.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
D'Angelo was awesome. Super friendly and fast - easy check out and check in.Cons:
Price - I rented the same vehicle 1 year ago and the price doubled. June 2020 price was $900 May 2021 price was $2039. The price this time was ridiculous!2 locations in Atlanta

Rachel, Jan 2021
Pros:
I reserved a car and went to go pick it and they were closed. I called customer service and nothing. Would be nice if I knew that they were going to be closed and I wouldn’t have paid for a rental.Cons:
They could have their hours up online instead of on a sheet of printer paper on the door so no one gets tricked into renting a car they can’t get!4.0 Mediocre
