KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cleveland

  • Although the city does have an extensive public transportation system, booking car rentals in Cleveland is often a convenient way of exploring the area. Cleveland car rentals make it easy for you to stick to your own schedule and save time by not having to wait on the bus or trolley, which may have delays. Having access to a car also makes it easier to go to places that are a bit more removed from the city center. For example, you can drive to the Cleveland Botanical Garden and the Great Lakes Science Center.
  • If you’ll be flying into Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), you can always pick up car rentals in Cleveland from here. The airport’s car rental center can be found at 19601 Maplewood Avenue and there is a free shuttle bus that picks up from outside of the Arrivals terminal and will bring you there. A few different rental companies can be found in the center, including Avis, Dollar, and National.
  • The city is quite busy, so there are some things that you should keep in mind while driving car rentals in Cleveland. Always be on the lookout for pedestrians and cyclists, particularly when you are driving downtown. They do not always abide by traffic laws, and many individuals will jaywalk. To avoid getting into an accident, you will want to drive slowly and never take your eyes off the road.
  • Cleveland is known for having quite bad traffic during rush hour, so you may want to avoid being on the roads during this time. In general, you will find that rush hour falls between 7:00 and 9:00 am and 3:00 and 5:00 pm During the winter months, the city also has quite a bit of rain and snow. You will want to drive particularly carefully during this weather and make sure that your vehicle is adequately prepared, such as by having chains on your wheels if necessary.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Cleveland for $57 or less
  • Standard rental cars in Cleveland are around 4% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cleveland?

    Individuals that will primarily be driving in downtown Cleveland will likely want to rent a smaller vehicle, as doing so will make navigating narrow streets, traffic, and tight parking spots much easier. Both sedans and economy models can be great choices. If you are visiting the area for recreational activities, a road trip, or a family vacation, it is always nice to have access to a bit of additional space. Opting to rent a spacious SUV or a van can be a good way to fit several passengers and still have room in the trunk for cargo.

  • What’s the speed limit in Cleveland?

    If you are driving in the vicinity of a school or construction site, you will find that the maximum speed limit is always 25 mph, if not 20 mph. When driving on an interstate or highway, the speed limit will usually be a maximum of 70 mph. Other streets within the city limits will likely have a maximum speed limit between 25 and 35 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Cleveland?

    Downtown Cleveland does have street parking, but it is important to keep in mind that it is metered and spots are often quickly filled up. To ensure that you can get a spot, you will want to park early in the day. You will also find a variety of paid parking lots and garages that are spread throughout the city. Most of these have the option of paying either per hour or a daily fee. Prices for meters and garages vary, but it is typically around $2 an hour. In some neighborhoods that are outside of downtown, you may be able to find free street parking.

Pros:

Everyone was friendly and helpful

Cons:

I, as well as other customers, waited too long for our scheduled vehicles to be ready for pick up. Pick up times didn’t seem to matter. We all waited 30 min or more.

Pros:

Helpful staff that didn’t get irritated at having a full house of rental customers within 30 minutes of closing time. Positive attitudes were all around.

Cons:

I was renting a vehicle for a short trip that I did not want to use my primary vehicle during but I was not aware I could not leave my vehicle on the enterprise lot overnight. The staff helped me come up with a solution though and it was greatly appreciated. This fact though should probably be better advertised to your customers.

Pros:

Drop off was fantastic

Cons:

Pickup should have been more socially distanced. At least one employee in Cleveland was not wearing a mask.

The car could have been in better shape. The backup camera was held in by tape and the windows hadn't been cleaned well (they were very hard to see out of). Otherwise, the car performed well and the experience was good.

Cons:

We were never able to get our vehicle. The rental counter closed at 8pm and our flight got in at 8:42pm. There was no night pick up, no notification that there would not be anyone at the counter. They didn’t leave the information with any of the other agencies who were all open. We ended up having to get a rental car from another agency. We were fortunate that someone from Dollar was able to help us but we had to pay for 2 cars and then I had to spend the next morning of my vacation contacting Hertz to try to get a refund. Absolute nightmare! If you have a rental coming in that day, you should probably have your rental counter staffed! So disappointed!

Avis at CHA was so much better than the other airport car rental agencies we have used. Fantastic rides at a great price, and actually had the cars on hand and ready to go versus other agencies at CHA. Staff was great as well. We drove ~1,400 miles over Christmas and were genuinely thankful for the great ride and experience.
