Compare everything first: Prices at ATL swing a lot between brands and vehicle classes. Use our search to test different car types and free cancellation deals before you lock in.
Skip the airport fees if you can: Staying downtown for a couple days? Ride MARTA, then pick up a car at a neighborhood branch to avoid the 10 % airport concession + $5/day transportation charge.
Tweak your pickup time: Shifting collection away from the Friday-PM or Sunday-PM surge often drops the rate and slashes queue times. A 6 am or noon pickup can be noticeably cheaper than 3 pm.
Fuel up yourself: Decline the prepay gas. Fill at Shell or RaceTrac on Camp Creek Pkwy (5 min from the Rental Car Center) and return full to dodge premium per-gallon charges.
