Europcar is the cheapest company at Atlanta Airport for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, averaging $61 a day, but you need a credit card and cannot compare a review score yet. Europcar has an airport desk and does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Avis averages $67 a day for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, from 619 prices, which is $6 more a day than Europcar. Avis scores 77/100 from 34 reviews, so consider that extra cost if you want a supplier with a review score; Avis also requires a credit card.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Avis is the best-reviewed company with enough reviews for a score at Atlanta Airport, scoring 77/100 from 34 reviews, but you should allow for an average desk wait of 24 minutes.

For 4 people with 4 bags, choose an Intermediate car such as a Volkswagen Jetta at Atlanta Airport, averaging $60 a day for November 2026 around a month before your trip, rather than a smaller luggage-limited car. An Intermediate car seats 5 but takes 4 bags, so check luggage if every seat is occupied; stepping down to a Compact car such as a Nissan Versa costs $54 a day for November 2026 but reduces capacity to 3 bags. A Fullsize car such as a Chevrolet Malibu averages $70 a day for November 2026 and seats 6, but still takes only 4 bags, so the extra seats do not solve a luggage shortage. Over the last 12 months, 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you do not need to choose a larger class just to avoid a manual gearbox. Electric and hybrid cars are absent from those prices, so compare petrol or diesel options for this booking.
