KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Winston-Salem

  • If you would like a budget-friendly, convenient, and restriction-free mode of transport when visiting Winston-Salem, renting a car from car rentals in Winston-Salem is a recommendable option. You don't have to worry about drop-off points being too far from your destination or not being able to reach your destination on time because you have to adhere to public transportation schedules. Even better, most cars from Winston-Salem car rentals come with up-to-date GPS navigation systems, so you won't have to worry about getting lost either. Better yet, you'll be able to check everything off your itinerary as you'll have enough time to go to all the places you want to visit on your own schedule. You can even add more attractions to your list, like the North Carolina Zoo, which is just 54 miles away. Or take a scenic drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is about 99 miles away.
  • The Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) has on-site car rental counters from agencies, including Budget, Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise. The rental car counter is located in the baggage claim lobby, and the cars are parked right outside. Reserving your car in advance through KAYAK could make it easier for you as you'll have the option to just pick it up at the airport.
  • One of the most important things you have to watch out for in downtown Winston-Salem is pedestrians, especially at intersections. There are approximately 400 intersections in Winston-Salem, and even though most of them have pedestrian signals, reckless drivers and distracted pedestrians can lead to accidents. The North Point Boulevard and University Parkway intersection is especially dangerous. As a motorist, you are obligated to yield at crosswalks and take care when passing cyclists.
  • Winston-Salem is a relatively small city and rush hour spans from around 7am to 9am in the morning and from around 5pm to 6pm in the evening. Even during rush hours, traffic moves quite well unless you hit an accident. More traffic is found on US 421, Interstate-40, and US 52, but it rarely comes to a full stop. Apart from rush-hour traffic, winter roads in Piedmont Triad can be quite risky due to snow and ice, which makes it advisable to have a powerful car equipped to handle Winston-Salem winters.
  • Medium hire cars in Winston-Salem are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

They did not have the vehicle I rented and told me they had a more expensive vehicle I could pay more for. Then they said they could call around to find something. I offered to drive to where the car was, but there was no car. They then said my reservation would be”not be honored.” Hertz took care of me.

I was scheduled to pick up the vehicle on Friday, June 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm. I was contacted around 9:30-10:00 and advised by the representative with Enterprise that they were unable to provide a vehicle and they were unable to assist. I requested an upgrade to meet my needs and they advised they had nothing. They stated they contacted several different rental locations and no vehicle was available. I asked if I was able to find a rental vehicle with a different company would they help pay the increase in rental cost and they stated that they would not and that is not there company policy. The call ended with no empathy or concern, that they were not able to meet the customer's needs. I scrambled for several hours and found a rental vehicle at the Enterprise Rent-A. Car location in Mount Airy. They were able to meet my needs and worked diligently to switch the reservation and met my needs and request. I would give the Mount Airy Location and Branch a review of above and beyond (5+, 100%+). The Winston Salem branch on Stratford Road I would give them a below poor rating with service and professionalism (-1, -0%). I am involved in working with Enterprise on a daily basis. If I have to use the Winston Salem branch I will find any other company to meet my customers' needs. If the vehicle is requested in Mount Airy, I will use them with no concerns. The treatment that was provided by the branch in Winston Salem gives me great concern as if they treated me this way then how would they treat any another customer. I did not want any special treatment, I only wanted the treatment, service, and courtesy that any person would be given.
