Charlotte Travel FAQs

Yes, using a car is the best way to get around Charlotte. Charlotte is very spread out, and its current transit system makes it difficult to reach all parts of the city. An Avis rental allows you to explore Charlotte, take in the sights, and visit must-see attractions easily. You can do without a car, but it’ll slow you down.

Sports, sports, sports! Charlotte is best known for sports teams like the Charlotte Hornets and Carolina Panthers, as well as for the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. If you’re a sports fan, there are plenty of attractions and games you won’t want to miss out on!

Like many Southern cities, Charlotte can experience very hot summers. If you’d rather visit during milder temperatures, we recommend sticking to spring or fall. However, June and July are popular tourist times in Charlotte, and many of the city’s suburbs host fairs and festivals during the summer. 

Charlotte is a huge city with plenty of attractions, so the more time you have available, the better. However, we recommend visiting Charlotte for a minimum of three days so you’ll have time to hit all the highlight attractions. If possible, spend around a week in Charlotte to see everything you want to.

Driving in Charlotte isn’t too difficult, especially compared to many other major cities. Traffic isn’t usually that bad outside of rush hour, which takes place around 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. *source
