KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Franklin

  • Franklin car rentals offer a more flexible transport option for travelers connecting to different parts of the city. Unlike relying on public transportation, car rentals in Franklin offer the freedom to visit off-the-beaten-path destinations. Using car rentals in Franklin enables easy access to nearby attractions such as Arrington Vineyards, Natchez Trace Parkway, and Leiper's Fork. With a car, visitors can maximize their time and make the most of their trip to Franklin and its scenic surroundings.
  • Enjoy self-drive from Logan International Airport (BOS) by renting a car from one of the car agencies at the airport. At BOS, rental car offices are in the Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CRCF). This facility serves all terminals at the airport, making it easily accessible for travelers. To reach the CRCF, there is a convenient and free shuttle called the Rental Car Center (RCC). The shuttle operates 24/7 and runs every 5-6 minutes, providing a seamless and efficient way to get to the rental car offices from any terminal at Logan Intl Airport.
  • When driving car rentals in Franklin, knowing a few key things is important. Franklin follows the standard road rules of the United States, including driving on the right-hand side of the road. It's crucial to obey traffic laws, speed limits, and road signs. Be cautious of pedestrians, especially in downtown areas, as they may not always adhere to crosswalks and may step into the road unexpectedly. Avoid distractions while driving and keep a lookout for cyclists and motorcyclists. Remember that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited and can result in severe legal consequences.
  • You will experience considerable challenges driving car rentals in Franklin during the morning and evening rush hours. Rush hour times may vary, but the peak traffic hours are between 7 am and 9 am and between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm. During these times, certain roads tend to be heavily affected, such as Franklin Parkway, Main Street, and the intersections around downtown. The winter season, which typically spans from November to February, can pose additional challenges for driving. Snowfall and icy conditions during this time may lead to slower speeds, reduced visibility, and increased chances of accidents.
  • Book your car hire in Franklin at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Franklin are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

They did not have the vehicle i had chosen and reserved, i schedule a mid size suv and all they said they had was a pickup truck. It did not make our trip up north comfortable because our luggage could not go in the back of the truck because of rain and had to get jammed in the passenger compartment.

This enterprise has fantastic customer service. They went above and beyond for me, helping me get a car in a situation where emergencies had caused a scarcity at all rental agencies in the state. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you.

Did not pick up car. Canceled reservation and was still charged over 400$. When I call they say I can only be reimbursed by sending a email. I emailed them over 5 business days ago. No response. Would never EVER rent from a Hertz again in my life

Pros:

This was the second time I dealt with the agent Ben and he is truly amazing at his job. The location is limited on vehicles so I always call the office before booking and if he doesnt have something he makes sure he gets it.

Cons:

The rates are too high for the lack of selection at this store. The inventory needs to be worker on.

We rented a Kia Soul because it was relatively inexpensive and we didn’t need a large car. To my delight, the car was roomy and comfortable and had great features. At pickup, the sales clerk was friendly and knowledgeable. At drop off, the clerk was efficient and very helpful. She went out of her way to find a luggage trolley for us—certainly above and beyond her duties. All in all, a very positive rental experience.

The employees working at this facility were extremely helpful, pleasant and friendly. The car itself was not in good mechanical condition. The engine light was on, passenger side of the headlights were out and the brakes were squeaky. The best part of the rental was the employees service.

Drop off was great. Pickup was nightmare. Lady was horrible. Treated us like criminals. Called me a liar. Made me wait an hour. Threatened to cancel rental. Can’t understand normal things woman. Put me 2 hours behind on special trip with my youngest son. Never rent budget again.

the vehicle was "dirty" from the previous users when we picked it up. the gentleman at the counter even apologized to us bcuz the car was dirty. I did not know that we would be charged a "fine" if we returned the car dirty...I would have certainly "cleaned" the car before drop-off if I had realized that this was the policy (goodness knows, I cleaned up the previous users trash!!!). I have rented from MANY other car rental services & I have never had to clean the car before drop-off nor was there a fine if I did not do so. The price on the vehicle was very good, but I will have 2nd thoughts about ever renting from budget again because of the misunderstanding about the condition of the car's cleanliness! Tell me UP FRONT & I will obey the rules....we were told about returning the car on time, or there would be a fine; we were told about having a full tank of gas, or be charged an absurd rate...but we were never told about the car having to be spotless or we would be fined. Tell me UP FRONT what your FEES are!
