Undoubtedly, the first half of 2020 has us all eager for a little relaxation and some time spent just about anywhere besides our own homes.  Weeks of quarantining, working from home, and trying out the virtual social life has got us all a little weary. But how to travel during a pandemic? Is it safe to go to another state, to stay at a hotel, or to rent a car? Here are some things to consider as you plan your summer road trip: Do a little research. Consider the current rate of the virus’s spread in your chosen destination, and also consider the spread in your area. Is the case rate rising in either location?  If so, maybe reconsider your plans.  If not, it’s time to think about getting there. If you feel as though it is safe for you travel, then Savannah Car Rental is ready to help.  We’ve got clean, factory-fresh vehicles to fit your whole family.  We’ve adopted all of the official guidelines and best practices for stopping the spread of the virus, and we’re prepared to safely administer your rental vehicle today.  Call us at 912.920.5431 or visit our website at https://SavannahCarRentals.com to complete your online reservation for a vehicle.  When you’re packing, don’t forget the essentials: a face mask or shield and a bottle of hand sanitizer. The most common guidelines for cleanliness and safety during this pandemic have been to wear a face covering in public and wash hands regularly. Prepare to be patient.  Wherever you are heading, it is bound to be a little different than expected with unique social distancing guidelines, various rules for public spaces like restaurants and grocery stores, and bit of uncertainty about how to proceed through normal errands and entertainments.  Keeping a positive attitude can help to make the trip more enjoyable. Try to remember that these measures are helping to protect everyone and you might even grow in gratitude for these inconveniences. Consider your activities.  Could your day be spent outside rather than in an enclosed space? Are there hiking trails, kayak rentals, or cycling lanes? How many people are you traveling with? Could you split up for parts of the day to accommodate capacity limits at shops or attractions? Any adjustments to your trip that could help you stay active and safe will keep your trip risk-free for everyone. Be it a day trip or a weeklong getaway, Savannah Car Rentals can help you make your great escape with affordable, low-mileage vehicles today. We offer special student and military discounts, so be sure to mention your qualifying status to us when reserving your ride.   We’ll continue to do our due diligence in sanitizing our fleet, keeping our staff and clients safe, and staying educated on all COVID-19 circumstantial considerations. We have three convenient locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro. Come visit us today and pick up a rental so can you to drive off into the sunset during this truly unique summer experience.

Savannah Car Rentals is Proud to Offer a Military Discount The Savannah area is home to several military bases, each having contributed in unique ways to the history of the region, the state of Georgia, and to the United States itself. That fact is not lost on Savannah Car Rentals, and we are proud to offer a military discount to active duty military members. Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart have been serving the United States for decades and continue to do so with their various military operations to this day. Whether you’re visiting the Savannah area, or you’ve lived here all your life, take a minute to appreciate our region’s military history, especially as Veteran’s Day quickly approaches… ❖ Hunter Army Airfield: Hunter is located in Savannah but is a subordinate installation of nearby Fort Stewart. Named after Lt. Col. Frank Hunter, a famous WWI pilot, Hunter is known in part for its exceptionally long runway (almost 11,400 feet). For this reason, it was actually considered as a possible landing site for several Space Shuttle missions. Among other groups, the Savannah Coast Guard Air Station operates out of Hunter to keep our coasts and waterways safe. ❖ Fort Stewart: Fort Stewart is home to several thousand servicemembers and is located southwest of Savannah in Hinesville, Ga. It was named after Brig. Gen. Daniel Stewart, a hero of the American Revolution. Fort Stewart housed POW’s during WWII as well as the Anti-Aircraft Artillery Center. Later on, it was a staging area for divisions responding to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Today is home to the 3rd Infantry Division. ❖ Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay: Just two hours south of Savannah is Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay. Kings Bay was first an Army base that also staged service members during the Cuban Missile Crisis and became a Navy installation in the 1970s. It began housing Trident missile submarines in the 1980s and does so to this day, in addition to also being the home of the Trident Training Facility and the Marine Corps Security Force Battalion. ❖ Moody Air Force Base: Moody is three hours southwest of Savannah located near Valdosta, Ga. During WWII it was primarily a training location, and today it is home to the 23rd Wing Combat Search and Rescue group. Savannah Car Rentals: Convenient & Affordable for Active Duty Military If you are an active duty member of the military, Savannah Car Rentals is sure to be your most convenient and affordable option when it comes to car rental. Whether you’re renting for business or recreation, we offer three locations in close proximity to Fort Stewart and Hunter Airfield in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro. Avoid adding mileage to your personal car by renting one of our low mileage, late model Nissans to get to and from your destination safely and comfortably. Active duty military members can also benefit from our military discount, which waives our security deposit. Whether you are visiting from out of town or call one of our local military bases home, Savannah Car Rentals looks forward to serving you.

Savannah Car Rentals – For Your Summer Getaway   Summer is the best time to enjoy warmer weather, beautiful scenery, and explore new places with family and friends. But for one reason or another, not everyone can spend an entire week vacationing, be it a few states away, or on the other side of the globe.   That doesn’t mean you can’t still plan an awesome trip for you and your family this summer. A weekend excursion to one of several beautiful locations within a few hours’ drive of Savannah is a great, affordable way to get away from your routine for a few days.   Savannah Car Rentals can help make it happen with convenient locations, safe and comfortable cars, and unbeatable prices.   Beaches, History, & Adventure   Those leaving from a Savannah Car Rentals’ location in the Savannah, Hinesville, or Statesboro areas can reach one of several dream destinations in under four hours. Many cities onthe southeastern seaboard make great vacation destinations, but consider one of these beautiful southern cities for your next weekend trip:   St. Augustine, FL: St. Augustine is a great location for the history buffs in your family, and you can get there in less than three hours. Tour the centuries-old Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, an original Spanish fort built in the 17thcentury. St. Augustine is also known for its beautiful, clean beaches, like Ponte Vedra Beach and Crescent Beach.   Myrtle Beach, SC: Less than four hours in the car will get you to Myrtle Beach, a quaint town on the South Carolina coast,known for its warm waters and beautiful beaches. Spend time in the surf, or catch a show at the Carolina Opry. Myrtle Beach State Park also offers opportunities for outdoor activities like fishing and camping.   Atlanta, GA: If you’re not a beach-goer or just want a more urban experience, head about four hours northeast to Atlanta. The state’s capital will certainly keep you busy, as it boasts the incredible Atlanta History Center, several Martin Luther King, Jr. historic sites (including his boyhood home and gravesite), and Centennial Olympic Park.   Let Savannah Car Rentals Serve You   Renting a car for a weekend trip saves mileage and reduces wear and tear on your own vehicle; and renting with Savannah Car Rentals is easy, thanks to three accessible locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro. Savannah Car Rentals has a line-up of late model, low-mileage Nissans waiting to carry you safely to St. Augustine, Myrtle Beach, Atlanta, or elsewhere. No matter your family size, choose a car that will keep your comfortable on your drive, whether that’s a compact, mid-size, or a mini-van.   Local renters will enjoy great prices on rentals, and deals that make affording your vacation easier: active duty military members can waive their security deposit upon renting, and college students can enjoy a 10% college student discount.   A weekend getaway provides ample time to relax, explore, and adventure in any of the great destinations within driving distance of Savannah; and Savannah Car Rentals looks forward to helping you make that trip a reality.
