In the summer (June-August), more people rent cars, so prices go up. You can often find the lowest rates in winter (December-February), but be ready for possible snow or ice.
Should I rent at the airport or in Fairfield? If you fly into CVG, renting at the airport is convenient but costs more because of extra fees. You can save money by renting from a place in Fairfield, but you will need a ride from the airport. You should figure out the total cost, including that ride, to decide what works best for you.
Are there any local driving challenges I should be aware of? When you drive in the Cincinnati area, you'll find many roads have multiple lanes where you need to merge often. If you drive into downtown Cincinnati, be ready for some hilly streets. You can also expect heavy traffic on I-75 around Cincinnati, especially during rush hour (7-9 AM and 4-6 PM weekdays).
What are the must-see attractions that are best reached by car? You'll want a car to easily reach Kings Island amusement park, the Cincinnati Zoo, Jungle Jim's International Market, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and outdoor areas like Hueston Woods and Caesar Creek State Parks. A car also makes it simple for you to visit Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district and the attractions on the riverfront.
Are there any toll roads in the area? No, you won't find any toll roads in southwestern Ohio. You can use the major highways (I-75, I-71, I-275) and the bridges that cross the Ohio River for free.
How does weather affect driving in different seasons? In the winter, snow and ice can make roads slick, so you should drive carefully, especially on bridges and overpasses. Summer thunderstorms can cause sudden heavy rain, making it hard to see. You'll find the best driving conditions in spring and fall, and you can see beautiful fall colors on country roads.
