  • Travelers arriving in Memphis will likely land at Memphis International Airport (MEM). Various car rental companies at MEM provide on-site car rental services for the convenience of passengers. Budget, Alamo, Enterprise, Hertz, and Avis are among the rental companies operating within the airport. The car rental counters are conveniently located in the car rental center, easily accessible from the airport terminals. The car rental center is in the Ground Transportation Center and can be accessed by following the Rental Cars signage. With these car rental options available at MEM, visitors can efficiently access transportation to explore the city and its surrounding areas.
  • Roads in Memphis are generally smooth, and well-maintained. Like many other major cities, it faces substantial traffic congestion during peak hours. Weekday morning rush hour occurs between 7 am and 9 am when commuters drive to work and school, while evening rush hour occurs between 4 pm and 6 pm. Memphis's main highways and commuter routes may become crowded during certain peak traffic hours. Interstates 40 (I-40) and 240 (I-240) are notably affected, resulting in delays and slower travel speeds. Commuters in Memphis should plan their trips carefully and consider other options when traveling during rush hours to avoid traffic congestion.
  • The minimum age to rent a car in Memphis varies depending on the car rental agency. Most rental agencies require renters to be at least 21 years old. However, drivers aged 21 and 24 may be charged a young driver's fee. Depending on the rental company, this cost typically ranges from approximately $25 to $30. Furthermore, certain car categories may have higher age limitations at specific Memphis car rental providers. Budget, for instance, may only let drivers over 25 rent SUVs, luxury cars, or vans.
