Cheap Car Hire at Amtrak-MEM

Ask about the specific steps for picking up and returning your car to ensure a smooth rental experience.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Inquire about any additional fees, such as airport surcharges or insurance costs, to budget accordingly.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Memphis, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.
