Car Rentals in Charlotte

Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina, located near the southern border of the central part of the state. It is also known as the Queen City and the Hornet's Nest, a title earned during the Revolutionary War for rebellion against the British. Voted the "Best Place to Live in America" in 2008, it is the center of finance, industry, technology, and entertainment for the Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury metropolitan region. Look for great deals on Charlotte car rentals and use your savings to enjoy the area's numerous museums and historic sites scattered throughout the city, especially in and near Uptown, where a new "museum district" and the NASCAR Hall of Fame are in the works near the Convention Center. The city offers something for fans of nearly every kind of sport, including NFL, NBA, NASCAR, and golf, which is played nearly year-round thanks to the temperate climate. Full of Southern hospitality and charm, and noted for its "green" appearance, due to its extensive tree canopy and abundance of parks, Charlotte is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination. A Charlotte rent a car is a great way to get around and see all that this rapidly expanding city has to offer.
