Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in Memphis
- SUVs are versatile vehicles suitable for various purposes. Whether you're exploring the city, going on a road trip, or venturing into the great outdoors, an SUV can handle a wide range of activities and terrains. Memphis SUV rentals typically provide more interior space than standard cars, offering ample room for passengers and cargo. SUVs often feature comfortable seating and a smooth ride, making long journeys more pleasant for both the driver and passengers. Many modern SUVs are equipped with advanced safety features, such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring, which can enhance safety during your travels.
- Memphis International Airport (MEM) is one of the most convenient places you can pick up Memphis SUV rentals. Memphis International Airport (MEM) hosts about nine national rental car companies, all conveniently situated within the Ground Transportation Center. To reach the Ground Transportation Center, simply exit your airline gate and make your way to the B Terminal. Descend to the lower level, which is one floor below baggage claim. Look for signs indicating "Rental Cars," and they will guide you to the Ground Transportation Center.
- Memphis roads are known for their potholes, especially after periods of heavy rain or severe weather. Be cautious and avoid potholes when possible to prevent damage to Memphis SUV rentals. Always use your turn signals to indicate lane changes and turns. This helps other drivers anticipate your actions and enhances road safety. Memphis is a major transportation hub with several interstate highways intersecting in the city. Be mindful of traffic merging onto and exiting the interstates, especially around interchanges.
- The morning rush hour in Memphis typically occurs from around 7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 pm on weekdays. Major highways like I-240 and I-40 can become congested during this time. Events like the Beale Street Music Festival and Memphis in May International Festival can be particularly congested times. When the Memphis Grizzlies (NBA) or the Memphis Tigers (college sports) have home games, traffic around the respective venues, such as the FedEx Forum or Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, can be congested before and after the games.

Pros:
Staff are unfriendly. The pick-up is inconvenient and disorganized. There is garbage and standing water all over the parking garage and car rental area. We didn't get the car we booked. We had no assistance with our child seat. The car we picked up was dirty and not in great shape. The overall pick up experience took more than an hour. I hate you all.Cons:
Y'all need to up your game. You should be ashamed of the way these businesses are ran.4.0 Mediocre
Apr 2021
Pros:
Car was nice! Which I suppose is the most important part. Clean, odor-free, got a size upgrade, which as a 6’3” man I appreciated. Drop-off was easy and the employee at the Jackson location couldn’t have been nicer.Cons:
It literally took longer for me to pick up my car in Memphis than my incoming flight from Atlanta took. It was well over an hour before keys were placed in my hands due to a slow moving line at the pickup counter (my representative was lovely, but had to constantly stop service to assist the other representative. Lovely gesture, slowed down service), and then once I got upstairs to the pickup counter, the crew in the garage could not have been any less helpful. My car was ready, but I had to wait another 30-45 minutes in the line just to be talked to to simply pick up my keys. I hate being that sort of Karen, but there is a line where the service becomes so terrible I can’t keep it to myself. Especially after having to travel last second for a family emergency, this lack of service and consideration for my time and business will keep me from booking Budget in the future unless it’s the only option available, especially at Memphis.Hertz

Pros:
No staff was not friendly, Thirfty didn't have any cars/trucks available. Told us we could be put on a waiting list and sit and wait for someone to maybe return a vehicle. This is unacceptable for you to allow a reservation for a specific time and there be no cars available. There were a lot of customers up there waiting. We cancelled the reservation and went with another company.Cons:
Everything could have been better. I will never attempt to rent from them again. Horrible customer service. Horrible way of doing business. I will recommend them to anyone ever2.0 Poor
May 2021
Pros:
I made the reservation for the vehicle 2 months prior to the pick up date. When we arrived in Memphis Airport we were told there were no vehicles available. The Thrifty agent said they were cleaning vehicles when they came in and it would be approx 2-3 hours before a vehicle was available!! We waited almost 3 hours for a car!!!!! The Thrifty agent was completely matter of fact and didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. I will NEVER rent from this company again!Cons:
The entire experience!!!!!2.0 Poor

Pros:

Pros:
Staff was friendly, car was clean, everything worked.Cons:
1. No car was available when we arrived, in spite of my efforts earlier to ensure there would be. We were lucky that a car appeared within 20 mins. 2. The air pressure warning was on the entire 8 days. I added air to all tires but the warning persisted. 3. Too much time spent waiting for receipt to be printed upon our return. Avis doesn’t seem to try harder anymore.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing. They are horrible.Cons:
When I arrived to pickup the car at 1pm on a Thursday there was no one at the counter and there had not been an attendant for some time. The rep from Avis at the next counter gave me the same deal since no one was working at Payless. Also, when I called to inquire about a baby car seat the automated phone system required that I provide an "Access Code", whatever that is, to complete the call and I was not able to get anyone on the phone to assist. I will never use this junk company again.National
