Auburn is the largest city in eastern Alabama, located in Lee County. Home of Auburn University, this college town is currently the fastest growing metropolitan area in the state, nicknamed “The Loveliest Village on the Plains”. An Auburn rent a car is a great way to get around and see all that the area has to offer, from the Auburn University Walk of Fame, to the Donald E. Davis Arboretum. Look for great deals on Auburn car rentals and save time and money to enjoy the area’s most popular pastime, golf, on one of the excellent local courses, or take a campus tour and end at the Eagle’s Nest for great views of the surrounding countryside. The nearest airport is Montgomery Dannelly Field (MGM) in Montgomery, located about 50 miles and serviced by most major air carriers. Most people traveling to Auburn, however, arrive either at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) or Birmingham International Airport (BHM), both of which are located about 120 miles away. If you fly into Montgomery, car rentals are provided in terminal by Enterprise, Hertz, Alamo, Avis, Budget, and National. Try Enterprise for the best deals, followed by Hertz, and Avis. If you fly into Atlanta, cars are provided via complementary shuttle by E-Z Rent a Car, Enterprise, National, Alamo, Thrifty, Dollar, Budget, Hertz, and Avis. Try E-Z Rent a Car for the lowest rates, followed by Enterprise and National. If you fly into Birmingham, car rentals are provided in terminal by Thrifty, Enterprise, Dollar, Alamo, Budget, National, Avis, and Hertz. Try Thrifty for the best prices, followed by Enterprise and Dollar. Most of the major chains available at the airports also offer additional Auburn car rentals downtown, usually for better rates than those at the airport. You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Auburn rental car agencies (although some will take a cash deposit depending on a credit check), along with proof of insurance if you decline the vendor's coverage options. Usually age requirements for a rent a car are 21 for compact and economy cars, 25 for all others, and an additional young driver charge may apply for anyone under 25 (select agencies will rent to qualifying individuals over 18 for an additional fee).
