Rental Qualifications and RequirementsAtlanta is positioned towards the north-west of Georgia and, as befits a busy and growing city, it’s superbly well-served by roads, spanning out not just to the rest of the state, but to neighbours such as Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and South Carolina.
As you’d imagine, the centre of Atlanta can be busy, especially in rush hour, but it’s still relatively easy to navigate. The airport is situated about seven miles to the south of Atlanta itself, and you can head into downtown Atlanta by taking the I-85 north – a drive of around 20 minutes. If you’re not driving to Atlanta, but visiting elsewhere, the I-85 also goes south-west as far as Montgomery, Alabama.
It’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with Georgia’s traffic laws before you arrive – you will, of course, be driving on the right-hand side of the road and overtaking on the left. Seat belts are essential for the driver and all passengers, and mobile use while driving is illegal. Speed limits will be signposted, and vary from a top speed of 70mph on interstate roads, down through 45mph in residential areas and lower in built-up city areas.
There are several main – and popular – roads that you can use to find your way around Atlanta’s heart. In the Five Points district, downtown, many of these converge. If you go north from here along Peachtree Street you’ll find yourself in midtown and then the Buckhead area. It’s a street made famous by the film Gone with the Wind, but now houses many of the key landmarks in Atlanta. It’s a popular name – there are at least 70 other avenues, roads, lanes and walks all called Peachtree.
Getting out of Atlanta, the I-85 north has a toll lane, while some parts of the I-75 and I-575 have recently added toll sections. The I-75 south will take you to another great Georgia destination, Macon, with its wonderful old southern mansions. The I-85 north, meanwhile, will whisk you on a quick day trip to Lake Lanier, 50 miles north-east. Here you’ll find places to camp, boat and fish, as well as watersports. It’s the perfect way to make the most of car hire in Atlanta.
Steeped in history, from the Civil War to Civil Rights, Atlanta is still a forward-looking city that hosted the Olympics in 1996. Georgia itself – the Peach State – also boasts other great cities that reward a visit, such as Columbus, Augusta and Savannah. Whether you’re visiting for business or looking to explore the south, this is the perfect place to kick off your trip.
The Georgia Aquarium was the world’s largest from 2005 to 2012, and is home to more than 120,000 sea creatures. Dolphins and sharks are two of the main attractions, but the aquarium is also renowned for its conservation and educational projects. If you have time, you can even sleep over once everyone has gone home for a unique experience.
Martin Luther King Jr. was one of Atlanta’s most famous sons, and you can explore the legacy of his life and work at the Center for Civil and Human Rights. There is a range of exhibits about the American Civil Rights Movement, and about the progress made in breaking down barriers in the US, in addition to special events. The gallery holds many personal items and papers that belonged to Dr King.
Make the most of your car hire at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport and enjoy the drive down to the coast and beautiful Savannah. It’s around 250 miles, passing through Macon en route. Savannah encapsulates the perfect Southern town, and is the largest National Historic Landmark District in the US. Wander through the cobbled streets and the gorgeous landscaped parks and squares. If you want to rest your feet, there are trolley tours and even riverboat cruises, for the full southern flavour.
The southern states of the USA are famed for their food, whether sparklingly fresh seafood or comfort food dripping with goodness. Barbecue is a rich tradition in Georgia, too, and Wiley's Championship BBQ is a multiple award-winner. Start with fried green tomatoes before tucking into the smoked sausage, brisket, ribs and pulled pork. If you’re lucky, you’ll have room for the hearty ‘fixins’ and some peach cobbler to end.
Start your visit with car hire at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport and enjoy your southern break.
It was a fairly efficient process, but the staff was a little less than professional. However, I'd recommend renting from Hertz here - I've done it multiple times and it has been good checking out and checking in.
Hertz Customer
It was a little confusing for me to find the Hertz customer service desks to get my rental, but found it 10-15 mins walking around the airport car rental building and parking garages. Although, this was my first time at the Atlanta airport and from out of town. Customer service was pretty helpful and friendly in guiding me where and how to pay and to locate the rental vehicles. It was an easy process overall to get the rental, then returning the vehicle. I may consider using Hertz again in the future.
Hertz Customer
The car was already reserved, the clerk was friendly and talkative. Pick a car and go, easy as it goes. Drop off and go, no fuss.

A valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence must be presented at the time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended. In all cases, a valid driver's license issued from your home country must be provided, whether or not you possess an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to rent a Hertz vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.
International customers renting in the U.S. are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.
Mobile/Digital Driver License
A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and Hertz customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.
Rental of a 15-passenger van in California requires a commercial driver’s license to transport a non-profit group or for commercial use. The commercial driver’s license requirement does not apply to personal use. 15- passenger vans may not be used to transport passengers for hire.
Rentals have a grace period of 29 minutes.
Optional coverages do not have hourly charges/grace period, but are charged as a full day.
Extra hour charges will be incurred at the 30 minute mark if the vehicle is returned more than 29 minutes past the original rental time.
If renting in California:
Hertz provides no liability protection under the terms of the Rental Agreement to the renter from claims of injury by others against you resulting from an accident. Your personal/business insurance may cover your liability. Exceptions: Hertz will provide primary liability protection up to the statutory minimum limits to international customers (driver's license indicates an address outside the USA) renting in California. Please also refer to Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) below.
If renting in Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia:
Upon signing the Rental Agreement, Hertz provides primary liability protection. However, such protection is generally no more than the minimum limits required by individual state law. See Financial Responsibility Limits by State.
If renting in any other state in the U.S.A.:
Hertz' liability protection is secondary to any other insurance coverage available to you. If you do not have liability insurance and/or the limits of liability of the insurance coverage available to you are not sufficient to cover claims by others against you, and Hertz, as the vehicle owner, provides liability protection due to an accident, you will indemnify Hertz for any and all payments made.
However, Hertz makes available additional liability protection, which is primary, if the optional Liability Insurance Supplement, LIS, is purchased.
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS)
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) provides coverage for you and other authorized operators of your rental vehicle for third party claims.
LIS is primary protection to customer’s personal policy and provides the first $1,000,000.00 of combined bodily injury and/or property damage protection for each occurrence regardless of the state in which the accident occurs. On rentals in California and Florida the maximum combined single limit is $2,000,000.00 for liability protection only.
LIS provides up to $1,000,000.00 of Uninsured/Underinsured protection for bodily injury sustained while driving the rental vehicle.
There are some exclusions to this coverage, which we feel you should know. Under LIS, in the event of an accident, you will not be protected for third party liability:
LIS is third party liability coverage only, except where permitted by law or pertaining to Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. LIS does not cover personal injury to you or any authorized operator of the rental vehicle or to your or their family members who are related by blood, marriage or adoption and reside in your or their household.
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
In most states, in the event of any other loss or damage to the car, regardless of fault, your financial responsibility extends to the full value of the car at the time of rental, less its salvage value, plus expenses for towing, storage impound fees, an administrative fee and a reasonable charge for loss of use. If your responsibility differs in the state in which you rent, it will be stated in Paragraph 4, of the Rental Agreement. In California, in the event of any loss or damage to the car regardless of fault, your financial responsibility will in no event exceed the fair market value, plus actual charges for towing, storage, impound fees, and an administrative fee. In California and Nevada, your responsibility for loss or damage to the car from vandalism unrelated to theft will not exceed $500.00 in California and $2,500.00 in Nevada and you are not responsible for theft, regardless of purchasing LDW, unless the theft results from your fault.. In Illinois, your responsibility for loss or damage for any cause other than theft is limited to $15,500.00. Loss or damage related to theft is limited to $2,000.00, unless the theft results from your fault. In New York, your financial responsibility shall not exceed (i) the actual and reasonable costs that Hertz incurs to repair the car, including costs for towing, storage and impound fees or that Hertz would have incurred if the car was repaired or (ii) the fair market value of the car immediately before the damages occurred, as determined by the applicable market for the retail saleof the car less disposal proceeds. Your responsibility for theft of the car shall not exceed the reasonable costs incurred by Hertz for loss due to theft up to its fair market value, if it is established that you or any authorized operator failed to exercise reasonable care or aided or abetted in the theft.
F.Y.I. – You are under no obligation to purchase LDW or any other optional service as a condition of rental. Your own personal insurance may provide protection for loss or damage to the rental vehicle depending on the state in which you live and the type of policy you have. Also, various credit card companies provide cardholders with some degree of damage protection providing you use their credit card for the rental and decline the optional LDW offered by Hertz at time of rental. The coverage and limits vary. Your policy or credit card coverage should be thoroughly checked for the specific terms and conditions associated with rental vehicles. Remember, most credit card insurance is supplemental, which means it will only reimburse you for loss or damages over and above what is covered by any other insurance you may have and will not cover you for any damage, regardless of cause, if you accept LDW.
Adding LDW after car is on rental:
You may not change the option once the rental has begun, without returning the car and starting a new rental agreement. This will result in the contract being closed out and charges being assessed for the time the vehicle is kept at least 1-day minimum, and a new rental contract will begin.
Cancellation of LDW - New York rentals only:
On New York rentals only, LDW may be cancelled at no charge, within 24 hours of its purchase provided the renter (i) has rented the car for 2 or more days; (ii) appears in person at any Hertz rental location with the car, which shall be subject to inspection.

Personal Effects Coverage (PEC)
Personal Effects Coverage (PEC), offered in combination with PAI, is an option that insures against risk of loss or damage to help protect your personal belongings while renting from Hertz. By electing PEC you will be insured throughout the entire rental period. PEC is insurance protection and pays in addition to any other policy you may have (such as a Homeowner’s policy). However, your benefits provided by other coverage may be affected by the PEC benefit. PEC insurance coverage includes those personal effects owned by you and those members of your immediate family traveling with you during the rental period who are permanent residents of your household. PEC does not extend to non-family members traveling with you.
Coverage Per Person | Minimum | Maximum |
New York & Washington | $600 | $1,800 |
Deductible for All Other States | $250 | $250 |
All Other States | $600 | $1,800 |

Intercity fee is for rentals returned to a location other than the location specified in the Rental Agreement. If the rental has already started at the time the change is made, a Return Change Fee may also apply. Note: Tesla reservations are not allowed to return one way.
