Book with Zest Car Rental at Fayetteville Regional Airport

We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the rich military history, vibrant historic downtown, and scenic river valleys of Sandhills, North Carolina.

Unlock the real Fayetteville and the Sandhills Region

Fayetteville Regional Airport is the premier starting point for discovering the deep military heritage, outdoor recreation, and southern charm of southeastern North Carolina. With a rental car, you can reach historic downtown Fayetteville, Hay Street, and the Airborne & Special Operations Museum in roughly 10 to 15 minutes north via Gillespie Street. For a journey into one of the largest military installations in the world, Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) is a comfortable 20 to 25-minute drive northwest via the All American Freeway. If you seek tranquil river walks and outdoor trails, Clark Park Nature Center along the Cape Fear River is less than 20 minutes north, all easily connected through the primary highway network.

The wider Sandhills and Coastal Plain region offers an incredible mix of history and natural beauty, from the world-class golf courses of Pinehurst to the quiet, forest-veiled country roads and historic river communities along the Cape Fear River. A rental car gives you the ultimate freedom to explore beyond the airport and discover hidden local barbecue spots, scenic state parks, and the quiet backroads that cut through the countryside. Find your own rhythm in the modern and historic heart of the Tar Heel State.

Can I take my rental car across international borders?

Because rules vary by company, running a live quote on our website is the easiest way to see precise cross-border and cross-state permissions for your chosen vehicle.
