KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Troy
- Car rentals in Troy allow you to see the city’s attractions at your pace. Moreover, you will save a lot of money that you would have otherwise used on rideshares and the time you would take trying to figure out train or bus connections. With your rental, you can conveniently take an interesting road trip to the Troy Museum and Historic village to refresh your knowledge of American history or visit the Bhartiya temple to immerse yourself in Hindu culture.
- Driving cheap car rentals in Troy requires caution and several roadways in the area are particularly demanding and require extra attention. For example, I-75 is a major highway that can be quite congested during rush hour, so it's important to pay close attention to other drivers and anticipate sudden lane changes or braking. Similarly, Rochester Road has heavy traffic and several intersections, which means that drivers should be vigilant for turning vehicles and pedestrians. Big Beaver Road has several commercial areas and shopping centers, so it's advised to watch for high pedestrian traffic and frequent stops. Finally, Maple Road is home to several schools and residential areas, reminding drivers to be extra cautious of children and to observe the speed limit. By being aware of these specific challenges and following good driving practices, drivers can safely navigate the roadways in Troy.
- When flying into Troy, you will likely land in one of three airports; Oakland, Bishop or Detroit Metropolitan Wayne airports. Detroit Metropolitan Airport is 40 miles from Troy. You can get a rental car from the rental car campus at the airport’s Northeast corner along Lucas Drive. There are shuttles at the Ground Transportation centers to get you to the campus. Bishop Airport is 47 miles from Troy. Its rental car counters are in the baggage claim area. Oakland Airport caters to private flights. Its rental car agencies are in the North Field, about ten minutes from the terminals.
- If you're visiting Troy and prefer to rent an electric car, there are several charging stations available throughout the city. A few options include Somerset Collection, Troy Marriott, Embassy Suites by Hilton, and Whole Foods Market. If you need to use Level 2 ports to charge your electric Troy car rentals, Troy Community Center and Troy City Hall both have two EV charging stations available for public use,
- The main road in Troy is I-75. It runs from the heart of Troy to Madison Heights with four exits. The Mile Road System, similar to that used in Detroit, is used in Troy. This makes it easy to drive through the city. The distracted driving law in Michigan prohibits drivers from texting, talking on the phone, eating, reading or grooming when driving. Be careful not to violate these rules because you might be ticketed.
- For parents traveling in Troy with young children, safety should always be a top priority when renting a car. Adhering to safety guidelines can help keep children secure and comfortable during the journey. Specifically, it is important to know that children who are under one year old and weigh less than 20lbs are required to use rear-facing infant seats, while children above this age and weight are recommended to use forward-facing seats. Fortunately, many rental car companies in Troy offer a variety of child safety seats, including baby seats for infants, child seats, and booster seats for older children. By following these guidelines and utilizing the available safety equipment, parents can ensure a safe and comfortable ride in cheap car rentals in Troy for their young passengers.
- The main challenge when driving in car rentals in Troy comes during rush hour. In most cases, I-75 experiences traffic congestion from 7:00 am to 8:30 am from Monday to Friday as people head to Detroit for work. Another traffic jam happens between 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm from Monday to Friday. If you are driving near schools in Troy from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, you will take more time to get to your destination. The roads in Troy are also slippery in the winter because of ice, so be extra cautious at this time.

8.0 Very good
Apr 2021
Pros:
Check-in and drop-off was quick and easy.Cons:
I did not notice until later but one of the tires was bald and needed to be replaced. This was very dangerous. I also noticed that one of the tires had already been replaced. The other tire should have been replaced at the same time. Other than that it was a good experience. I will likely rent from them again.5.6 Fair

Jul 2018
Pros:
Did not like that I had to go to another Enterprise location to return the car. I needed a ride home and they no longer take people home after a certain distance. This has changed since November, 2017. Since the other location is actiually closer to me, I will use that one for my next rental. The customer service has always been terrific when renting a vehicle from Enterprise and will continue to use them. I rent a car once or twice a year.7.6 Good
Dec 2015
Pros:
The car's technology features.Cons:
We wanted a mini van and instead were given a suv. Didn't have leg space for back two rows and very little storage space in back. It's meant for 5 seater, not 7.Priceless

Pros:
Staff was extremely rude and not helpful in my situation. I was unaware of a $200 hold and the need to always use a credit card and not a debit card. I don’t use credit.Cons:
The situation would have been resolved if the staff had been courteous and helpful. I understand the need to use credit, but I didn’t need to be made to feel the way that I did. I will never use Hertz again!10.0 Wonderful
