KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Florence

  • Car hire in Florence is the most convenient way to get around the city and its surrounding areas. The region has a public bus service, but you will need additional time to get around waiting for buses to arrive and get you from A to B. With a rental car, you’ll have the freedom to reach other places of interest such as Myrtle Beach, which is around 1h 30min away by car, is known for its beautiful coastline, amusement parks and boardwalk. There’s also Columbia and Huntingdon State Park, which are both around 1h 30min drive.
  • If you want to arrange car hire in Florence, SC, USA, the best place would be from the car hire agencies located at Florence Regional Airport (FLO). Here, you can choose from five different major car rental companies, all with a diverse range of vehicles to hire. You can easily find the car rental company desks as you come into the Arrivals Hall of the airport, and to collect your vehicle, it is only a short walk turning right out of the terminal building towards the rental car park.
  • Once you’ve sorted out your Florence car hire, familiarise yourself with the local driving laws and regulations. Remember that in the United States, cars drive on the right-hand side of the road. Be vigilant when observing speed limits on various road types, such as urban roads and highways, and drive with caution. It is mandatory to wear seatbelts at all times, and any children must travel in a child safety seat, depending on their age, weight, and height. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited, with the blood alcohol limit being 0.08%.
  • When driving in Florence, it’s best to avoid driving during the morning (7:00 to 9:00) and evening rush hour (17:00 to 19:00), especially on certain roads, such as major thoroughfares into the centre of the city. Roads such as David H. McLeod Boulevard (US-52), which runs through the heart of Florence is known for its traffic, while major roads like the Pamplico Highway (SC-51) and Hoffmeyer Road connects east and west Florence. Outside the city, Interstate 95 (I-95) passes the city and can get congested with commuters from out of town.
  • Book your rental car in Florence at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Drove 2 hours and 45 minutes, gas tank empty. Didn't notice when I picked up the car if the tank was full. However coming back, used 1/2 tank. So tank could not have been full when I picked up the car. Had to put air in back driver side tire.

The staff was wonderful and very helpful everything was good rental agreement , but the car had a unpleasant smell, and the seats really needed to be professionally cleaned. But other than that it’s was a good rental.

After Covid, the Hertz office had to relocate away from the Airport due to suspension of air traffic for many months.The current temporary location shares space with a pre-owned auto lot.The employees make the best of their current location. Carlton, the manager, is very accommodating and tries to work things out with the high demand and limited availability of cars. Brandon, at rental return, was very nice and did his best to help with the check-in process.

Cons:

Gas tank only had 1/4 tank. Rep told me I could fill it up and get reimbursed if I brought it back with more which is not true. Car smelled like BO and ran very rough with a rattle. Rep at return site was unfriendly. Terrible experience that cost way too much.

It was very easy to rent a car in Florence and the car was immaculate! I would do it again, the only draw back was we were supposed to go into Myrtle Beach airport,the flight was oversold so we flew into Florence . We rented a car but had to return it to Florence and change our plans from Myrtle Beach . They do not do one way.

My pick up was scheduled for 12:00 I got there and they didn’t have a SUV available like I selected and kept trying to get me to get a van the guy told me to they would call me when they had something so after 2 hours went by and I went back because they told me they would hav something then and still had nothing but sent them workers to get a highlander I waited for 45 minutes for them to return vehicle wasn’t washed but I didn’t complain. And they had no empathy at all not apologizing or nothing it was just we have nothing and we’re trying to accommodate you with a Van.

There were two reservations. Drop off had no attendants at all. And the drive in area was closed. There was no drop off box or any notes on anything including the Avis desk. We all had to leave our cars in the drive blocking others from driving in. And we didn’t know what to do with keys. Again. No one there at all and the gate was closed off so no cars could pull in to return cars. Plus the double reservation. Please call me.

Considering the cost of the rental, we expected something much nicer. The vehicle had a dent on the hood. Couldn't tell if the vehicle was properly sanitized and it just didn't look look like it had been well maintained.
