Location Access: Snellville lacks direct freeway access, requiring navigation via surface roads from I-285 and I-85, which can be challenging for first-time visitors.

On average, car rentals in Snellville cost around $74 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $32 per day.
Pick up in Snellville, not at ATL – skipping the airport's 11% concession fee and $5/day facility charge often cuts the bill by around 20%; add a $60 rideshare from the terminal and compare which combo wins.
Lock in summer rentals 2-3 weeks out – prices climb in June-August but stay flat most other months, so early booking only matters for peak dates.
Shoot for a 7-day rental – weekly rates in Gwinnett County average 15-20% less per day than a 3- or 4-day booking, even if you return a bit early.
Size matters – a compact or midsize will be 30-40% cheaper than an SUV yet is plenty roomy for Snellville's short hops and mall parking lots.
