Best tip is to do all your rental agreement paperwork online before you pick up. If you do, when you arrive they just hand you keys and point you to your car. Very easy.

Use budget or dollar. I have always had an excellent experience with them. Avoid Hertz like the plague.
KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Greenville
A hire car is the perfect way to explore not only Greenville, but also the surrounding region of northern South Carolina. With a car you will be able to freely explore the city’s main attractions, such as Falls Park on the Reedy, located in downtown Greenville's Historic West End. Head to Caesars Head State Park, where you’ll be surrounded by mountains and majestic nature. It’s less than an hour’s drive away and you can make as many scenic stops as you please.
All the big car hire agencies, including Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise, can be found at Greenville–Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), which is located in Greer, about 20 minutes northeast of Greenville. The car hire desks are located within the terminal, just across the baggage claim area. If you’re arriving by plane, just follow the Baggage Claim signs. The hire cars are typically parked on the first level of the parking garage.
Driving in Greenville is pretty straightforward, as long as you keep an eye out for road signs as well as cyclists, since most areas of the city don’t have a designated bike path. Although the coast of South Carolina is hit the hardest during hurricane and cyclone season (June through November), the rest of the state is also at risk. If you’re driving in those months, make sure to be extra careful when the weather gets wetter.
Although traffic is manageable, especially when compared to other big U.S. cities, you’re better off avoiding rush hour traffic both in the morning (between 7:30 and 10 a.m.) and the afternoon (between 4 and 7 p.m.), especially if you don't want to be stuck in traffic for longer than needed. The I-385 gets quite congested during those times, as do other roads such as Memorial Drive, Greenville Boulevard, and Arlington Boulevard.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Greenville?
A small automatic car is the recommended option in Greenville for travelers who don't require much space for passengers or luggage and plan on driving only around the city.

The team at the Enterprise on South Pleasantburg Drive were the nicest group of people that we’ve ever dealt with when renting a car. Super clean vehicle. The manager, Isaac, was super kind and helpful. They made the whole process easy. Great people over there!! Thank you!

We have had our reservation for months, yet when we got there the girl said, “you’re lucky you came when you did, because this is the last car we have.” If I have a reservation, shouldn’t it be honored? Why was it the last car they had? Also, the car we got was very nice but it was dirty on the inside. I was hoping we wouldn’t get blamed and charged for it, and ended up cleaning out the other people’s trash anyway. Otherwise it was good. They were helpful at the office when we had issues and the rental was successful.

Some Greenville 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 Greenville.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Greenville car hire.
