KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Canton

  • Renting a car in Canton is more convenient than using public buses. Buses stop only at bus stations, but driving gives you the freedom to make several stops along the way. For example, if you love parks and nature, you can drive to Paradise Lake Park, 20 miles northeast of Canton. Warther Museum is approximately 18 miles south of the city, and driving is the best way to get there.
  • When it comes to Canton car rentals, most rental companies will require you to have a credit card. They require a credit card to secure the rental and for the payment of any additional fees, such as fuel, damage, or late return charges. However, a few other companies may accept a debit card payment for the rental, which usually requires a larger deposit or additional documentation. If you're willing to research, you will also stumble upon cheap car rentals in Canton that accept cash. However, if you opt for a cash rental, you'll need to put down a significant deposit for your rental car.
  • If you need Canton car rentals at the airport, there are several car rental offices located near the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. For example, Budget is located at 19601 Maplewood Avenue, approximately 1 mile from the airport. The airport offers free shuttle services to travelers who need to access these offices. However, you need to be at least 21 years old and have a valid driving license to rent a car at the airport car rentals. Again, the airport's car rental conditions vary from one agency to another.
  • When driving in Canton, you must be aware of Ohio's BAC laws. The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers who are 21 years of age or older is 0.08%. This means that if you are driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher, you are considered to be driving under the influence (DUI) and can be charged with a DUI offense. If you are 21 or under, the BAC limit is lower, at 0.02%. Most cheap car rentals in Canton will allow you to list an additional driver under the rental agreement. This is a good idea if you plan to drink, as it ensures that you are safe on the road and not likely to be penalized for drunk driving in Canton.
  • You should be careful when driving in the city because some schools, playgrounds, and residential areas are near busy streets. However, most roads, such as Aultman Avenue NW and Tuscarawas Street, have pavement parking and signs to alert drivers of bikers or pedestrians and children crossing to provide safety. Therefore, look for speed limits and other road signs for safe driving.
  • Visitors to Canton should remember a few facts about Canton before taking to the roads. Most of the roads in the city are completely two-way. This means that drivers should always be on the lookout for turning cars and those coming from the opposite direction. Many of the newer roads have been built with roundabouts, giving drivers a great visual marker and simplifying navigating the streets. There are also plenty of intersections and side streets. The important intersections to be aware of include the intersections of Rt. 77 and Whipple Ave. Ask your rental company for a GPS to help you navigate the city.
  • Like other cities, Canton city also experiences traffic. During rush hours, the most affected streets include Cherry Avenue NE, Gibbs Street NE, and 12th Street NE. However, driving in the city during winter is challenging because roads can be slippery or blocked solid. Therefore, if you need car rentals in Canton during winter, ensure to choose a vehicle with winter tires to pass through the slippery roads. Another challenge when driving during winter is a low vision at night because of the snow.

Couldn’t supply rental at pickup time. Took 4.5 hours to find vehicle at another location and drove there to get it. Truck had 55,000 hard miles and was the most beat up vehicle I’ve ever rented. The only plus about the whole experience is it didn’t break down and got us 450 miles to my destination. That’s about all the positive things I have to say about my experience with Budget.

Apr 2018

Pros:

The car was comfortable, and overall great. We were taking a long road trip, so the MPG and comfort-ability was great.

Cons:

The pickup experience was really rough. We called to change our reservation to 9am, it wasn't changed. As a result, we had to wait for the car to be cleaned. There was also a $200 charge that we weren't informed about. The person helping us was incredibly rude, both on the phone the day before, and in person. When I showed him the insurance policy through Kayak (allianz) he said he didnt know what that was and that it wouldn't cover our car. So we paid for another policy. When they got done cleaning the car about 30 minutes later, the FOB didn't work, he didn't inform us until after we signed. We told him that wouldn't work, as we were going out of town and would feel more comfortable with one. So they gave us another car, which literally took almost a full hour. They also marked that the tank was full, but it was only at 3/4 tank. When he was informing us of the insurance, we had to ask literally 6 times if it covered bodily harm, which he finally said "I mean, yeah.." It didn't. The pickup was fine, the guy helping us was nice. However, when we walked in after almost a 12 hour road trip, the guy that was cleaning the cars looked at us like we were trash, and scoffed. I thought this was maybe just this location, but my sister rented a car the next day through Hertz in STL, and it was almost the same experience.

Pros:

Customer service worked with me to exchange my thefirst car given to me.

Cons:

Had to exchange the first car that I was given due to worn out, noisy rear tires. Then the second car I received, I had to replace the windshield wipers. They were completely wasted and were unsafe in the rain. So that was extra money out of my pocket that I shouldn't have had to spend. I traveled over 1700 miles so what else was I going to do? The agents at the local store are unknowledgeable and they could also have more than one agent working. There were quite a few people in line waiting. Also I was almost charged twice for my rental, which I prepaid for in February. I had to tell the agent and until he actually read his screen further, did he see that I did.

Cons:

I don't think Thrifty could have done anything better other than let me know that there were no gas stations near the airport. It's not their fault that there aren't any nearby but it wasn't something I thought of because normally there are gas stations near the airports I fly in and out of. It was too close to my flight time for me to drive the extra 12 minutes back out of the airport to find a gas station, fill up, and then drive 12 minutes back. Again, I should have thought of it before, but if they would have informed me ahead of time it would have been less of an annoyance.
