What this means for drivers

Why people rent a car in Augusta

Augusta sits on the Savannah River at the South Carolina border, and it runs on a steady mix of medical, military and university traffic through most of the year. Then there is April, when the Masters transforms the city entirely and every available vehicle in the region gets booked.

What it costs

Rentals start from $29 a day for most of the year. Masters week is a different market altogether, with demand and pricing far above the norm and availability booked months in advance.

Collecting the car

Handover is arranged directly with the owner around Downtown Augusta, Summerville and toward the Martinez border. Summerville and Martinez are residential with easier parking.

Driving here

There are no tolls in the Augusta area. Richmond County sits outside Georgia's emissions testing area, and there is no periodic safety inspection statewide. All drivers must be at least 21.

What you need to list
