Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Washington Dulles Intl. Airport (IAD)?
You can, and there's lots of choice. After you touch down and collect your bags, head on over to the rental car centre at the Rental Car Centre. Here you can arrange a booking with fantastic companies like Thrifty, Hertz and National. If you're after more options, see what's available with Budget and Dollar.
What happens if I need to cancel my Knoxville car reservation?
We get that things happen and plans change at the last moment. That's why many prepaid reservations offer a full refund if you cancel six hours in advance of collection. Your rental policy should have all the details you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
What types of cars can I rent in Knoxville?
Keep things low-cost with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact vehicle — the most commonly booked rental type in Knoxville. They're easy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a wise idea if you're road-tripping around big cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that's still nice.
Where can I go on a road trip from Knoxville?
There are many exciting adventures to be had in Knoxville, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your own pace. Add these fantastic destinations to your travel schedule:

  • Make tracks to Richmond for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. About 193 kilometres from Knoxville, it's home to many cool sights such as Richmond Raceway.
  • Roughly 72 kilometres away, Washington is also a hit with wanderers. Be sure to take in White House while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this vibrant city.
  • Battery Park is about 354 kilometres from Knoxville and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Knoxville with Expedia?
Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your preferred ride and compare offers from top providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Knoxville car rental with flight or hotel bookings and cruise off with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Knoxville?
Knoxville requires drivers to be 21 and over to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Knoxville?
While requirements can differ between rental car outlets in Knoxville, the two main things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Knoxville?
Yes, and the great news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Explore our long-term car rental deals in Knoxville and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Knoxville car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Knoxville rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra fees. It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
