Memphis Rental Cars

When you have the freedom of a car rental in Memphis there is so much to do and see!

Memphis started out as an agricultural city along the Mississippi River in the early 1800s. Today it is a city with a rich cultural and musical history that attracts tourists from all around the world. It also boasts a robust economy and is an important commercial center for both transportation and logistics. 

Because of its diverse population, Memphis has had a monumental impact on many music genres ranging from the blues, country, soul, hip-hop, and—as home to the King, Elvis Presley—rock ‘n’ roll. People gather at Beale Street to enjoy good music, good food, and good company. Drive on over in your car rental in Memphis and join in.

While touring Memphis with your rental car you can visit sites important to America’s Civil Rights Movement. Civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in the city, and Memphis now houses the National Civil Rights Museum, which is a Smithsonian affiliate institution.

Memphis Travel FAQs

Yes! Beale Street is a unique, must-see experience for visitors and one of the city’s most popular attractions. First growing in popularity in the early 1920s, the iconic strip is home to a melting pot of rock, jazz, and delta blues music—as well as unique restaurants, shops, and nightclubs.

Memphis does have public transit systems, including buses and trolleys. However, having an Avis car rental will make it significantly easier for you to explore Memphis, save you time traveling between must-see attractions, and help you reach areas of the city that aren’t included in public transit routes.

Aside from Beale Street, Memphis has many great attractions for visitors of all interests. Some of the city’s most popular attractions include Graceland (the home of music legend Elvis Presley), the Memphis Zoo, the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, and the Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum at the Burkle Estate.

Memphis and Nashville are about 200 miles apart from one another—a little over three hours' drive in your Avis car rental. Fortunately, Avis lets you customize your rental with alternative drop-off locations so that you can plan a one-way rental from an Avis Nashville location to a Memphis one (or vice versa, of course).

Spring or autumn tend to be popular times to visit, with milder temperatures and fewer crowds. Additionally, Memphis hosts its Memphis in May International Festival each year every spring. We recommend planning your trip between April and May or October and November to take advantage of everything the spring and fall seasons offer in Memphis.
