KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Alpharetta
- The Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta is a great place to stay if you want to be under a 30min drive from the main city, but away from the hustle and bustle. Because the suburb is not directly served by Atlanta’s MARTA trains but only a few bus routes, a car rental in Alpharetta is one of your best options for getting around. Check out the numerous Alpharetta Arboretum at either Cogburn Road Park or Wills Park or the Alpharetta Farmers Market held every Saturday from 8am to 12:30pm from April to October. Get a sense of the area’s 19th-century history at the Mansell House and Gardens or the Milton Log Cabin. Be sure to catch an outdoor concert in summer at the Ameris Bank Amphitheater or an Alpharetta Bulls Rugby Football Club game. Finally, pay tribute to the Georgian veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces from World War II at the Walk of Memories. All of this can be easily done thanks to a rental car.
- If you’re planning to fly to Alpharetta, pick up your car rental at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport. Once you have retrieved your luggage simply follow the signs for the Rental Car Center. Head west out of the terminal to reach the escalator that’ll take you to board the ATL SkyTrain. A 5-minute ride will take you two stops to the Rental Car Center. During busy moments at the airport, wait times can be up to 15min.
- Pedestrians and cyclists are common around the Alpha Loop and the Big Creek Greenway, which runs from Winward Parkway up to Mansell Road. Drive cautiously around these roads as you may be sharing the road with cyclists and pedestrians may suddenly step out into the road. The city is mainly served by State Routes 9, 120, 140, 372, and 400, as well as U.S. Route 19.
- The main rush hour is during the commute from Alpharetta to Atlanta in the morning and then in the returning direction in the evening along Highway 400. Rush hour starts as early as 6:30am, lasting until 10am, and then starts up at 3:30pm, lasting until 7pm. Alpharetta receives some snowfall in the winter months, so be sure to practice safe driving practices in your Alpharetta car rental when it snows.
- Book your car hire in Alpharetta at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hire in Alpharetta are around -6% cheaper than other car types, on average

Car hire insurance in Alpharetta
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Alpharetta car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Alpharetta.
