Rent a Car in Chaleston, South Carolina

Charleston exudes history from its gardens and museums to its beautiful architecture and delicious cuisine. Grab a car rental in Charleston and begin to travel back in time as you tour the town. Charleston is a great city for art lovers, so make sure to stop by the Gibbes Museum of Art or some of the many art galleries. There’s also plenty of fine dining to enjoy—don’t miss out on the Ultimate Coconut Cake at Peninsula Grill. To learn more about Charleston’s past, visit Rainbow Row to see Georgia-style row houses, or stop by one of the preserved plantations, such as the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site. Make sure you see it all when you rent a car in Charleston. Check out the other Budget locations in South Carolina if you’re planning a one-way road trip.

 

Charleston Travel Tips

1. The Ashley River runs through Charleston, but several bridges around town make it easy to get around. Take note that some bridges are one-way. 

2. Bring allergy medicine. The city loves plants and flowers, and although they are gorgeous, the pollen they release may cause sneezing or watery eyes.

 

Popular Cars

There’s no better way to enjoy the area’s many restored plantations than with a luxury car rental in Charleston. If you’re planning a group trip to see a performance at Riverfront Park, then a minivan rental might be a better option. Check out our list of other great Charleston transportation suggestions. 

  • Economy Cars: The practicality and comfort of an economy car pay off when driving to Wadmalaw Island.

  • Full-Size Cars: Enjoy the excellent gas mileage of a car plus extra room for passengers and cargo when you take a full-size car rental to the Heyward-Washington House.
