If you’ve never rented a car, sometimes it can feel like a big decision to make. What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks, if any? Does it save me money in the long term? Sometimes renting a car is out of necessity. If you’re flying to a destination that requires car travel, renting a car may sometimes be your only option. Many US cities, Savannah included, aren’t exactly known for their public transportation. Another necessity would be if your own car broke down and you needed to get around while it was in the shop. This is a common reason people rent cars and is not at all as fun as a vacation car rental.

Spring is a beautiful time. While we say goodbye to the cooler winter months, Spring welcomes us with wildflowers, sunny breezes, and warmer temperatures to warm our hearts. Life is blooming all around, it’s a sweet invitation to the lazy days of summer. So if you’re wondering what to do with mom this Mother’s Day, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite destinations around Savannah.

Here, you can enjoy peaceful picnics, hikes, nature-watching, and other outdoor activities with the family.

Renting a car during the spring is one of the most beautiful times to take a long drive. The highways around the country are filled with wildflowers and greenery. Life seems to be waking up at every corner. America’s East Coast is filled with beautiful sites to see. Whether it’s the great cities like New York or DC, or historical sites like Jamestown, there are so many sites along our East Coast. And what better time to take a vacation than spring? We may be biased, but there’s something magical about driving down a highway blooming with wildflowers. No one actually thinks they have seasonal depression until they’re singing and dancing when it’s nice and sunny out on a random day in March. And when the Springtime rolls in, it’s a perfect time to plan a romantic road trip, or a family getaway. So whether you’re planning a weeks-long trip, or want to do a power road trip along the East Coast, we suggest stopping in one (or all!) of these four shore towns. 1. Myrtle Beach Myrtle Beach can be your first beachy stop from Savannah. With its endless miles of beach there are literally thousands of things to do along Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area. We’re not exaggerating! Known for its celebrity-designed golf courses, 60-miles of coastline, along its shore are an array of arcades, amusement parks, souvenir shops, and restaurants. Whether you’re making an entire vacation from Myrtle Beach, or just a quick jaunt on your East Coast trip, you’re sure to find some exciting things to do in this shore town. 2. The Outer Banks Moving along North on our East Coast road trip are North Carolina’s Outer Banks. They live up to their name as they’re barrier islands off the coast of the state. The Outer Banks separate North Carolina from the Atlantic Ocean and are connected by various bridges, the longest being the Virginia Dare Bridge. Take a bit of a detour and drive along its 5.2 miles to see open sea and beauty. There is always something exciting to do in the Outer Banks. They have a vast selection of restaurants, attractions, shopping, and events to welcome any type of tourist to its sunny shores. 3. The Jersey Shore While the MTV show would have you think otherwise, the Jersey Shore can actually be a quiet and quaint stop along your East Coast road trip. Known for their boardwalk and home of the Boss, Bruce Springsteen, the Jersey Shore has a wide selection of beach activities to do along its coast. If you’ve got the kiddos with you, you can stop in Point Pleasant for a daytime trip to the boardwalk where the family can play games, eat cotton candy, and ride all the rides they want. They’ve got a funhouse and an aquarium to make the day even better for your family. If you’re not with kiddos and are looking for a more nightlife vibe, you can stop in Seaside, home to night clubs on the beach and yes, Snooki. But really almost all shore towns along the Jersey Shore have a quiet boardwalk you can walk with your hunny for a nice romantic getaway. 4. Plymouth Our last stop along the East Coast is the historical town of Plymouth, MA. We have to admit, the Plymouth Rock is really just a big ol’ rock, but it’s cool to see it and marvel at its history. The quiet town has some of the country’s most delicious seafood. And being one of our nation’s oldest settlements, the city has tons of rich history and museums to explore. — So whether you’re renting a car for a long road trip along the East Coast or for a night in Savannah, we can be your solution. We always offer the highest discounts for our veterans! We also offer 10% OFF for students. All of our cars are factory fresh, have low-mileage, and are late models.

Here we are, over a year later, and still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we all want this to be done, it’s pretty clear that the pandemic isn’t quite done with us yet. The silver lining of this pandemic, as frustrating and hard as it’s been, is that we’ve learned a lot over the past year. And with that learning, we’re able to implement more informed protocols to keep you safe in any of our factory-fresh and quality vehicles. Your safety is our number one priority, and we wanted to create this easy guide for you when you’re planning your next car rental with us. Understand any risk of where you are and where you’re going. If you’re coming from a hotspot, make it a point to get tested or quarantine before your trip. If you’re going to a hotspot, plan for a bit of isolation upon your return home. Make a checklist of all the essential items you’ll need on your road trip. Mask up. Bring plenty of hand sanitizer. It’s always best to check the most up to date CDC guidelines when planning your trip. Plan for more outdoor activities and be more mindful of your indoor activities. While all of our cars are safe and clean, we know that your destination may pose some risk. Weigh the options and plan your trip accordingly. The CDC recommends social distancing of at least 6 feet when meeting with others outside your household. Patience is a virtue. We have all learned to be a little bit more patient this year. And our trips and vacations are no exception. Although a road trip or a car rental isn’t automatically deemed high-risk activity, packing a bit of patience will help you set expectations for what’s to come and make way for a much more enjoyable time. Whether you’ve traveled this year, or you’re looking to finally venture out, Savannah Car Rentals is doing everything we can to keep you safe. All of our factory-fresh cars are cleaned and ready for you to have your next adventure! You can always call us or visit our website to easily book your vehicle. Buckle up, everyone. We’re in for the long haul when it comes to this pandemic. But know that we’re following all state and federal guidelines when it comes to covid-19. If you have additional questions, feel free to give us a call or visit our website.

While Georgia is known around the world for our peaches, many don’t know how beautiful this state really is. From the northern Georgia mountains, to the 110 miles of Georgia coastline, there are a lot of scenic routes you can take with a loved one or with the whole family. There’s nothing quite like a scenic road trip. Sometimes it may even be worth the longer journey to see beautiful sites, stop at local shops and restaurants, and get a real, genuine feel for the town. Our cars at Savannah Car Rentals are reliable, safe, and perfect for a scenic drive anywhere. But we’ve identified some of our favorite scenic adventures around our very own beautiful state. Booking a car has never been easier with our four easy steps. Also, we always offer the highest discount for our veteran drivers, just ask! 1. Ridge & Valley Scenic Byway – 51 Miles As its name would imply, this scenic byway allows drivers to view the many terrains of northwest Georgia. You’ve got a selection of mountain overlooks pairs with lush farmlands. It’s a great stretch to turn up the music, relax, and drive. It’s beautiful in any season, but we love and are suckers for the foliage during autumn. 2. Coastal Highway U.S. 17 This is a great option for ditching the crowded and busy highway. US 17 stretches nearly across the length of Georgia. It’s a perfect destination and journey for those interested in birding. Along the highway are 18 viewing spots to observe over 300 species of bird. Wow! Some of the viewing spots include Colonial Coast Birding Trail and Harris Neck National Refuge. 3. Cohutta-Chattahoochee Scenic Byway This is one of Georgia’s most breathtaking scenic drives. Almost 6 hours outside of Savannah, this scenic drive includes stunning views of the Cohutta Mountains. The byway begins in Prater’s Mill in Whitfield County, following State Route 2 into Murray County. The 54-mile route ends in a beautiful mountain look. It’s a beautiful photo opportunity and scenic destination. Whether you’re staying in Savannah, traveling around Georgia, or even the United States, Savannah Car Rentals make the car rental process easy.

Long distance drives with family can be both exciting and a little stress-inducing. We know that these times can be tough, and a getaway with family can be the remedy you need to relax and unwind from a stressful year. Whether you’ve got little ones you need to account for or you need to accommodate older relatives, there’s a lot that goes into planning a long distance road trip with family. To avoid angry and unhappy family members, we’ve identified three ways you can better prepare yourself for a long car ride with your loved ones, and even have a really enjoyable time on the road! 1. Choose an appropriate car size. I know. Our deals are fire, we offer late model, low mileage vehicles that are factory fresh and ready for you when you need them. Sometimes the lowest price doesn’t always translate to the most comfortable road trip. If you have a large family that you’re traveling with, it’s best to upgrade your space. Even our larger rental vehicles are affordable, and we always guarantee unlimited mileage. Squeezing four people into a small sedan may help your wallet a bit, but it might not make the long car ride as enjoyable as it could be. Shop our larger rental cars to see which are best for your family road trip. 2. Consider adding additional drivers. We know you love the open road and cruising down long highways. But for a long road trip, you may get tired. It’s always best to have another person added on to your rental agreement. Savannah Car Rentals allows people 21 and up to rent cars from us. Your added driver doesn’t have to drive, but if you’re needing to take a break you can let the other take over and not worry about missing out on driving hours. Tag-teaming your long distance road trip can be a fun way to ease the stress of a long car ride on both your mind and your body. 3. Plan your route We live in a time of Google Maps and GPS. Gone are the days of reading maps from truck stops and (gasp!) even printing directions. But it’s still important to plan out your long distance road trip. Why? Because it will save time, energy, and stress down the line. You can also plan on making tourist stops along the way. We’ve got a few recommendations for great spots around Savannah. Planning your route will save time on the stress of where you’re going and allow you to spend more time together, comfortably, as a family. Savannah Car Rentals has the vehicle you need to get you where you need to go. With 3 convenient locations in Savannah, Statesboro, and Hinesville, you get in and out and on your way in no time at all. Make your reservation today.

The town prides itself on being a serene destination for travelers, and millions of visitors stop by to see its historical buildings, parks, and cobblestone streets every year. If you’re planning to visit or have already visited here, you might miss out a lot of things if you don’t or didn’t avail car rental Savannah. Savannah River Street River Street boasts unique boutiques and shops for every traveler willing to wander along the broad Savannah River. Cotton warehouses and buildings filled the street a century ago. Investors have built many hotels, nightspots, pubs, restaurants, and galleries in this historic area. Savannah River was a strategic port during the American Revolution and the Civil War. It remains as one of the busiest ports in America. This street is a blast from the past coupled with some modern sensibilities. PinPoint Heritage Museum Locals formerly know the Pin Point Heritage Museum as the Varn & Son Oyster and Crab Factory. Visiting this place is an excellent experience as it showcases the Gullah/Geechee culture. The Gullah/Geechee was an isolated community living on the banks of the Moon River. The museum features various exhibits along with a great view of the marsh. Cathedral Basilica Of St. John The Baptist The Cathedral Basilica is a magnificent display of architecture, and it’s popularly known and referred to as the Sistine Chapel of the South. It contains 81 stained glass windows and is a beautiful historical piece of Savannah. It’s the most photographed landmark here for a good reason. You can’t miss this place while traveling here. Leopold’s Ice Cream Leopold’s has been serving homemade ice cream to travelers for almost a century, and it’s considered one of the specialties in Savannah. They also offer sandwiches, baked treats, soups, and salads aside from their ice cream.

Because the holidays are upon us, many people probably have plans to travel and visit friends and family or to just have a magical getaway. But depending on how far we want to go and how many places we want to visit, it might be best to rent a car. Not only will it help you easily get from one destination to the next, but there are also numerous other benefits to having a rental car with you during your trips. Easy and Convenient There is nothing more convenient than renting a car to drive from one place to another, especially if you’re leaving the state. Here are a few reasons why this couldn’t be more true. First, you won’t have to worry about any insurance issues since you don’t own the car; second, many rental cars these days have updated maps for your navigation needs; and third, you can focus on the experience as a whole, rather than worrying about every little thing like bags, public transportation, schedules and more. Basically, having a car allows you to enjoy the trip. Budget-friendly Renting a car for your holiday travels is also budget-friendly since there are various types of low-cost transports. Even if you are concerned about the budget for renting a car, Savannah Car Rentals offer rates starting from just $24.99. You can even choose between Nissan and Chevrolet models with discounts between 70% to 85%. Aside from such flexible options, you can also save up on money that you would otherwise use for buses, trains, or taxis. Cozy and Comfortable While long-distance bus rides may be cheap, it’s not the best place for someone who wants to have their own space away from dozens of other anxious riders. If you’re on a vacation, you’ll want to enjoy your trip in complete bliss. And a rental car will give you just that. In your own car, there’s no need for you to socialize or interact with complete strangers or risk your good mood. While it’s true that not everyone can afford a rental car for their travels, it is obviously the best option for longer trips. It gives you space, comfort, and a cozy atmosphere to get your vacation off to a good start. Restriction-free Having a rental car will make your trip much more flexible wherever you plan to go, so there’s no need to worry about train timetables, bus stops, or taxis. All you need is to rent a car and refuel it when needed. With a car, you’ll be able to freely travel to locations that public transportation doesn’t have access to. In addition to adding accessibility, you’ll also get access to different events that take place when public transport isn’t available. Why Choose Savannah Car Rentals? With Savannah Car Rentals, you can book your vehicle in four easy steps: Select your Date and Destination Choose your Vehicle Choose your Protector Plan and Extras Review and Send your Information And with three locations around Georgia — Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro — you can access more places compared to other car rentals. So be sure to your itinerary and schedule ready for the upcoming holidays and book your vehicle with Savannah Car Rental today!
