Hertz at Charleston, South Carolina

The old city of Charleston stands on the Atlantic coast of South Carolina midway between Savannah to the south and Myrtle Beach to the north, and about 120 miles southeast of the state capital Columbia. It was originally built around the harbour where two rivers meet the sea in 1670 and named after the English King Charles II. If you hire a car in Charleston you'll find it is built across islands and peninsulas and is still full of historic architecture. It is also renowned for its polite, well-mannered residents and fine restaurant scene.

Expect plenty of old colonial style buildings with verandas, balconies and shutters within the city, and you'll find the streets and waterfronts are often lined with palm trees. If you have a hire car in Charleston you'll be able to tour the city and all the attractions like these. There's a lot of history to see, including military sites like the Fort Sumter National Monument, an island fortress where the first shots of the Civil War were fired, and the Patriots Point Maritime Museum, which features a US aircraft carrier among its collection. Other highlights are Nathaniel Russell House, a meticulously restored 1808 merchant's home, and the Powder Magazine, a museum housed in an arsenal dating back to 1713.
