Question 1

What are the major attractions in Chattanooga?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Chattanooga is all organized but your itinerary is looking a little empty, we can give you a helping hand.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Chattanooga?

Accepted Answer

If you're up for a day trip, pack some snacks and head over to Cleveland. Situated 25 miles away, it has lots to keep you interested. You may also like to check out the sights and sounds of Tracy City. It's about 30 miles from Chattanooga and has some awesome things to offer.

Question 3

Where are the best convention centers near Chattanooga?

If you're here for primarily work-related reasons, you'll likely be going to Chattanooga Convention Center. You'll find it 0.3 miles away.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Chattanooga?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can make your way around Chattanooga without renting a car. But with so much to discover here, having one would definitely make your stay more comfortable. If you plan to get out of town and into the great outdoors, consider a car with a bit of power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will take you to the surrounding rolling hills in roomy style. Spending most of your vacation close to the bright lights of the city? A smaller car like a compact or mini is your best bet. Driving through narrow laneways and squeezing into tight parking spots will be easy in one of these.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Chattanooga?

Accepted Answer

You'll be happy to hear that there's an impressive variety of luxury rental vehicles in Chattanooga. What you go with depends on what you're willing to spend and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles offer the best in comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not pick an elite SUV, or perhaps a slick medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after something to whiz around town in at the cheapest price possible, go for a budget compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).

Question 6

Is it difficult to park in Chattanooga?

Accepted Answer

Finding a place to leave the car in Chattanooga is a breeze. You don't need to circle the block in heavy traffic here — and that's why the locals love it. There's plentiful off and on-street parking to take your pick of.
