Find cheap car rental deals in Asheville, North Carolina

Asheville is one of the most scenic cities in North Carolina, situated high up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s got estate mansions such as Biltmore to explore, while also promising days of outdoor adventures in the stunning national and state parks nearby.

Renting a car through Orbitz is the best way to explore Asheville. Not only is it more convenient, but driving is one of the great pleasures of being in this corner of North Carolina. With two national forests and the Great Smoky Mountains on your doorstep, driving becomes a way to experience some of the region’s most impressive landscapes.


Asheville and beyond: Heavenly mountain highways

Use Asheville as your launching point for exploring the mountainous region where North Carolina meets Tennessee. Get in your rental car and drive to these three destinations.

Brevard

The small, quaint town of Brevard, just a short drive south of Asheville, is a little-seen gem in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is where your rental car comes into play – drive along the Forest Heritage Scenic Byway (US 276) for a journey into the forests. This stunning stretch of road will lead you to the Looking Glass Falls and the swimming hole at Sliding Rock.

Journey time: Around 45 minutes

Distance: Approximately 30 miles

Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Drive west and head into Tennessee to reach the charming town of Gatlinburg. As a major stopping point for trips into the Smoky Mountains, there are a range of tourist-friendly activities here, such as the ski resort, aquarium, and Ripley’s museum. The reason to go here, however, is for the spectacular drive from Asheville, crossing the Smokies on some of the most scenic roads in the US.

Journey time: Around 1 hour 40 minutes

Distance: Approximately 80 miles

Charlotte

If you’re done with the mountains and seeking a slick city break, take the drive east to Charlotte, one of the most exciting cities in North Carolina. The NASCAR Hall of Fame and the Hendrick Motorsports Museum are popular spots for motoring fans, while the Discovery Place will delight future scientists and inventors. It’s also a big sporting city, so be sure to watch a football or basketball match while you’re in town.

Journey time: Around 2 hours 10 minutes

Distance: Approximately 125 miles
