Question 1

If your trip to Albany is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Near the city center, Ray Charles Plaza is one spot to consider adding to your to-do list. If you still have space on your travel schedule, Albany Municipal Auditorium and Albany Civil Rights Institute will keep you amused too.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Albany?

Accepted Answer

If you're on the hunt for other places to explore, Richland has plenty of things to do. About 50 miles from Albany, Richland Georgia Rail Museum is one of its biggest draws.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Albany?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can get around Albany without a rental car. But with so much to see and experience here, having one would definitely make life easier. If you're eager to get out of the city and into nature, pick a rental car with some power. A larger car like an SUV will get you to the area's sandy shores in roomy comfort. Prefer to spend the majority of your vacation near the bright lights of the city? A smaller car like a compact or mini is a wise choice. Driving through narrow streets and squeezing into tight parking lots will be a piece of cake with one of these.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Albany?

Accepted Answer

You'll be pleased to hear that there's a huge variety of luxurious rental vehicles available in Albany. What you end up going for depends on how much you want to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles offer unparalleled comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not go for a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a slick mid-sized sedan? Otherwise, if you just need a set of wheels to get you around town as economically as possible, you're better off choosing an economy vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).

Question 5

What side of the road do they drive on in Albany?
