Tips for renting a car in Georgia

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Georgia including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on March 19, 2024.
  • While the state of Georgia does not have any toll roads for you to worry about, it does have some interstate express lanes that drivers must pay to access, such as the I-85 which ends at Hamilton Mill Road. You can use these even in a rental car, but it is important to keep in mind that none of them accept cash. Instead, you can only pay electronically, which is typically done by card. Depending on the car rental company that you select, your vehicle may be equipped with a Peach Pass or Sun Pass, but you should ask for this ahead of time. These passes are automatically scanned as you enter the express lane, and the fees will then be charged to your rental invoice.
  • Anyone traveling with children will want to keep in mind that the state of Georgia has rather strict car seat laws. All children under the age of eight are required to be always in a proper car seat or booster seat, including when you drive from the airport and first pick up your rental vehicle. The only exemptions are for taxi cabs and public transportation. This means that you will either need to travel with your own car seat or ensure that you reserve one through your respective car rental agency, which many companies do offer.
  • It is not uncommon for drivers to cross the border from Georgia to Mexico on a road trip. Most rental companies will allow you to drive to Mexico with your rental car, but there are a few things that you must do. Make sure to let your rental company know ahead of time, as you will need to pay for some additional insurance, like Mexican Automobile Liability Insurance. Some companies will also only let you drive up to a certain number of miles across the border, so you will need to verify this.
