  • Driving a rental car is a fantastic way to see Owensboro, a small city on the northern border of Kentucky, just across the Ohio River from Indiana. In an Owensboro car rental, you can visit family and friends, have outdoor fun, and keep appointments when you want and for how long you want because you won’t have to catch a bus or a train. You can see local sites such as the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden, the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art, the Lincoln Pioneer Village and Museum, and so much more. You can drive beyond Owensboro city limits to Vastwood Park, Jeffreys Cliffs Conservation and Recreation Area, St. Louis to the west, Indianapolis to the north, Lexington to the east, and Nashville to the south.

At SDF, you can find car rental service desks located on Level 1 of the parking garage attached to baggage claim. Rental cars are parked nearby, and when it is time to return them, simply follow signs for Rental Car Return as you approach the airport.

Be sure to mention where you want to drop the car off when you are making your rental car reservation so that the agency can see if your plans are possible. Most car rental agencies will allow you to drop the car off at an agency located in a different part of the state, in a different state altogether, and sometimes in a different state that is often well across the country.
