Manual car rental in Atlanta

Hi guys! We're heading to Atlanta in a few weeks for a road trip and we want to rent a car. We only drive manual though, never even driven an automatic before. I'm having trouble finding a place that has the option even for renting a manual transmission, only automatic cars are listed. Does anyone know where I could possible rent a manual car? Any advise would be appreciated!

I did a bit of search but could not find any .. i am not sure if transition from Manual to automatic would be hard (i have heard always otherwise) but It was suggested that if really skeptic you could rent an automatic car and get acquainted for a few days before coming to US. Will post again if i find something. All the best

Thanks guys for the tips! Will definitely check out Turo.com, they seem to have some manuals :)

You could try in Turo.com However, using an automatic is no problem at all, it's made to be easier.

Yes usually only drive Manual( Back home) but getting into Automatic driving is just a matter of few minutes

Turo.com would be my recommendation.

Driving a "stick" in ATL would be a hassle. Opt for the automatic.

The sticks in today's cars are almost effortless to drive. The clutch's are light and the shifter's are light as well with short throws.

While I'm sure that's true, it's the traffic that takes the fun out of it.

It's not a hassle if one is used to it.

Although weird for a few minutes with nothing to do with your left foot and your right hand, driving automatic is actually the "standard". You just turn on the car, put the gear in with the boring standard shifter (To R, or D) and press gas. I personally own manual but when you visit Atlanta, you will regret the constant stop ad go if shifting thru traffic,

You can call any rental car and ask for their manual options
