KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Stow

  • If you're visiting Stow, Stow car rentals will provide unparalleled convenience and flexibility, allowing you to explore the city and its surrounding attractions at your own pace. Unlike relying on public transportation, car rentals in Stow offer the freedom to access off-the-beaten-path destinations and hidden gems. Notable sites like the Hale Farm & Village, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and the Blossom Music Center have become more accessible, enabling you to optimize your itinerary.
  • When arriving in Stow, Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is where you will likely land at. For convenient city exploration, car rental from the Rental Car Center is advisable. Situated near the terminals, a short distance away, the center hosts rental car offices. A dedicated shuttle service links the terminal to the center, streamlining the process. This efficient arrangement simplifies transportation, granting visitors swift access to rental services upon landing at CLE for their Stow visit.
  • Driving car rentals in Stow offers a relatively calm and relaxed experience. Residents tend to adhere to traffic rules and display courteous behavior towards fellow drivers. While there are bicycles, trucks, and occasional jaywalkers, drivers typically show respect for pedestrians. Standard vehicles on the road include sedans, SUVs, and some trucks. The city's atmosphere leans towards patience rather than aggression, creating a smoother driving environment. Carious rental companies might impose age restrictions. These restrictions can vary, with some companies requiring drivers to be at least 21 years old, while others like Budget may stipulate a minimum age of 25.
  • Navigating Stow's roads during rush hours and winter months requires extra caution and awareness when using car rentals in Stow. Rush hour typically occurs during weekday mornings from around 7 am to 9 am and evenings from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Traffic congestion is more pronounced during these times, especially on major roads like Route 59 and Route 91. Navigating these routes during rush hours may require more patience, careful lane changes, and an awareness of traffic updates to make informed decisions about alternative routes. Winter can present challenges due to potential snow and icy conditions, affecting driving safety.

2 day rental 9am-9am. I dropped the car off exactly at specified time (9am). I was told I would get an emailed receipt. I received said receipt at 11:54am with the return time listed as 11:54 am. They proceeded to charge my card for 3 days. Now I have to fight with Enterprise to get the charges reduced to what they should have been, exactly 2 days. Horrible!

The man on duty when I picked the car up needs customer service training. He was obnoxious and condescending. He blamed the company for multiple errors which is not impressive. In my opinion he should not deal with public But other than him, my car, the simplicity of reservations and drop off clerk were all fantastic!!! I come home twice a year. I will rent here again.

Absolutely terrible. Called us 10 minutes before pick up to let us know they didn’t have cars available that day, that they had know that all week and we were on a waiting list but wouldn’t get one most likely. Never did. Didn’t offer any solution

Arrived at the Akron Budget rental location and was told that the vehicle I rented was not available. Being out of town, I had Ubered there under the promise of a vehicle there (I had reserved online). When they told me they didn’t have it they offered no apology or remedy but rather said that I would have to go to the airport to get a vehicle. They had a “not my problem” mentality even though the car was reserved ahead of time. I asked if they could transport me to another location as it was the company’s fault for allowing the reservation and they said no and gave me a list of local taxi companies. Again, being stuck since I was in town on business I had to Uber again to the airport where I eventually was able to get a vehicle. Overall, it cost me two hours in time and was a terrible experience.

I specifically went here because they were the lowest priced in the area, only for them not to have that size car. They gave me a car two sizes up, and refused to give me the free upgrade. Stupid. I was in a hurry, and didn't have time to rationalize with this gentleman. DO NOT GO HERE.

Pros:

Everything went smoothly with drop-off and pick-up. No surprise fees.

Cons:

Wish the cost of a secondary driver wasn't so high, especially considering their having full coverage insurance. Think it was fifteen bucks or so a day, maxing out at six days.

We had a family emergency and booked a rental to drive out of state. I called Hertz the morning of our pick up date and told them we booked for a noon pick up, but may not be there until around 4:30 or so. The agent said that was fine, my rental could be picked up anytime within the day of my booking. Due to the chaos that typically comes with emergent and last minute plans such as this, we didn’t get to the airport to pick up until 5:20-5:30. The desk was closed and literally no one was there to give us our rental. Due to it being so late in the day, there was literally no one anywhere within a two-hour drive that we could golfing who could help us after that. We ended up with no rental whatsoever and totally screwed.

The car wasn’t serviced before I picked it up. Halfway through our long road trip the car needed an oil change. The windshield wipers didn’t work. The windshield wiper fluid was empty. And it seemed to need new tires. The car was clean and we did get an upgrade at no additional charge but I was disappointed thinking we wouldn’t make it back home with all the issues we had.

The car was NOT clean. The attendant told me it had just been dropped off and did I want the dirty seat wiped down...yes, please 🙄 A few minutes after leaving the pickup, the deodorizer wore off and the car smelled like an old shoe. I drove with the windows down when I could it smelled so bad.

We had a van with 50K miles on it and the brakes were really bad- grinding and shaking the steering wheel. We contacted Hertz and all they said was "we will check it". Not I am sorry about that, what can we do to make it better. Putting a car on the road with bad brakes is irresponsible- especially with a rental, you are putting someone else's life in danger.
