Atlanta — so many things to see and do, not enough time. Centennial Olympic Park is merely the tip of the iceberg. That’s why a rental car is a wise move. Discover more of the iconic sights of this busy city with an economy or a compact car. Heavy traffic, labyrinthine streets, lane changes, and dead ends are made all the easier with small runabouts like these.

Specialty and prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you feel like splashing out, why not grab an elite SUV, or perhaps a stylish medium-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you’re just after a set of wheels to zip around town in at the cheapest price possible, you’re better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t blow your budget).
