Travel Information

Airport Car Rental
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is the largest airport in the state of North Carolina. It also serves the northern part of South Carolina. Given its size and the ability to find cheaper or direct flights, many from even farther away use the airport and it is also a convenient place to begin a trip to other destinations with a rental car. Located almost equidistant between the beach and the mountains, you can begin a road trip to either easily from Charlotte.
