When choosing Bessemer car rentals, a midsize or full-size sedan is the recommended vehicle type. This is because Bessemer is a small city with well-maintained roads, and a sedan is large enough to comfortably navigate through the city streets, while also being fuel-efficient and easy to park. A sedan will provide enough space for passengers and their luggage, but is still easy to maneuver through traffic and navigate around crowded city streets.
The speed limits in Bessemer vary depending on the type of road and the zone. Generally, residential roads have a speed limit of 25 mph, while larger multi-lane roads and highways have higher speed limits.

The speed limit on major highways, such as I-20/59 that pass through Bessemer can range from 60 mph to 70 mph. Since there is so much variation, it's important to pay attention to speed limit signs when driving a car rental in Bessemer.

Jan 2021
Pros:
Slow, inconsiderate staff. Car was not ready. Other customers who arrived 20-30 minutes after me received their vehicles before I did. When I asked why there was a delay, the office staff went though a back door to “find out what was going on” but never returned. There was no other staff present in the main office area for 10 minutes.Cons:
The car should have been cleaned and ready to go. I selected the 8:00 pickup time for a very specific reason. The car not being ready delayed my departure and created a significant inconvenience for me the rest of that day. The staff was slow and inconsiderate.2.0 Poor

The booking was approved for a time after the location was closed and they were not able/willing to find a location that could rent on the same day. Was required to rent from a different company at the airport.10.0 Wonderful
