The roads in Augusta are generally well-established, enabling any car type to drive. So, when looking for your car type to drive in the city, consider one that fulfills your capacity needs. For instance, a smaller vehicle is recommended if you’re traveling alone with little luggage. However, if you’re with family or friends, look for a vehicle with many seats. In that case, an intermediate or a minivan is a good choice for an Augusta car rental. Travelers exploring off-roads should consider well-raised vehicles like an SUV.
When driving your car rentals in Augusta, speed limits vary from one place to another. So, pay attention to the varying speed limits to avoid speeding tickets. The highest speed limit is 75 mph, and is restricted to rural freeways. When driving in urban freeways, cap your speed at 55 mph. But the speed limit in residential, business, and school zones is 25 mph. When driving your Augusta car rentals on divided and undivided roads, the speed limit is 55 mph. The city also features several posted limits. Be sure to abide by them.
When driving your Augusta car rental, chances are high that you’ll need a parking lot. Although finding a parking spot shouldn’t be daunting, it comes with stress worth avoiding. Thus, consider booking a hotel with the parking lot to beat the hassle of looking for parking space. The hotels to consider include Hampton Inn Augusta, Best Western Plus Augusta Civic Center Inn, Super 8 by Wyndham, and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Augusta. However, if you missed a hotel with parking, budget for metered parking in Augusta downtown. Charges vary but expect to pay an hourly rate.

Pros:
Deliv ring from ship to car rental placeCons:
Only one worker and she was so swamped that drop off was long wait until she said just leave key and she would do it and stay after hours to check us in. It was no her fault. She did ev rethink as fast and quick just 6 people checking in cars and getting back to ship was a nightmare for her. Company should provide more workers the few days cruise ship is in port.10.0 Wonderful

I liked everything...ease of pick-up and return, courtesy of agents, and the car itself, which was perfect.Cons:
There wasn't anything I disliked.3.6 Poor
Jan 2017
Cons:
When we picked the car up, it had no washer fluid in it at all. The weather was snowy and there was dirt from the roads, making the car dangerous to operate until we were able to find a gas station to fill it up on our own (it took the entire gallon of washer fluid; tank was bone dry when we got the car).2.0 Poor
Dec 2016
Pros:
Positives- They answered the phone and were willing to talk to me the next day when I called to complain. They weren't willing to help me in any way, but they were willing to talk and explain the situation.Cons:
Negatives- It's a long story, but the one sentence summary is I never even got to rent my car and had to take a $100 cab to Camden. I would not recommend using Hertz. I was scheduled to arrive just after 6 on a Cape Air flight. I indicated in the reservation that I'd be there at 6, because I've never before encountered a situation where it was crucially important to be right on the nose in that department. However, I also didn't include my flight info in the reservation. That part is my fault and apparently if I had done that, this could have been avoided. Still, I'm pissed about how everything transpired. The flight was late and landed at 7. I get off the plane and immediately see that the Hertz desk is closed. I check online and see that they close at 6. That's a problem. I check with the Cape Air desk--they say that a different Cape Air employee probably has the keys. When there's an after-hours pickup, that's how it's handled. Great. I check with that person--nope, sorry, no keys were left with her today. Oof. I try calling Hertz's national 1-800 number to get help. That's 10 minutes I'd rather have spent doing anything else. Totally worthless. I leave an angry note on the Hertz desk asking them to call me the next day and get a cab. (As an aside, Cape Air helped me get that cab, and they were really helpful about it. I really appreciated that.) It cost $100 to get to my destination, Camden, plus I no longer had a car to use to get around Camden during my stay. I didn't get a call from Hertz in the morning, of course, so I waited until the afternoon and called them. They did acknowledge they saw the note and apologized for not calling back. They said that because I didn't include my flight info (my fault, I acknowledge) in the reservation and had scheduled it for a time when they were open, they didn't leave the keys with the Cape Air people because they "thought it was an in-town reservation." First of all, how many reservations from non-Cape Air passengers do they get? I doubt it's very many. More importantly though, I had said I'd be there at 6 in the reservation, and they close at 6. They said if I had indicated I'd be there at 7, the reservation would have told me they'd be closed and would have required me to input flight info. That makes sense, but why doesn't the reservation require that if you say you'll be there literally at the minute they close? That's more of a Hertz corporate complaint than a complaint about this location, but still. What a dumb system. The reservation didn't even have the location's hours on it. How hard would it have been for them to print a contract and leave the keys with Cape Air, assuming I'd be on that late flight? Probably not very hard, and if I had no-showed (which could happen whether I'm an in-town rental or I'm on Cape Air and missed my flight), I'm sure they could have just canceled the contract. Instead they did nothing, and I was left holding the bag.10.0 Wonderful
Oct 2016
Pros:
I saw the manager (I think his name was Andy) run to get every car so the customers didn't have to wait which really surprised and impressed me. that meant my total wait time to get the rental car was minimum. They drive me to where I needed to go without complaint and I just felt like a well taken care of customer with the staff.Cons:
Nothing. I've been to Hertz before in CA that didn't fill the tank up all the way which was annoying to try to match but I was happy and relieved that the tank was totally full when I picked the car up in Augusta.10.0 Wonderful
