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.

A few different rental companies can be found in the center, including Avis, Dollar, and National.

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.

The rental was great! The only issue was trying to understand the agent at Lovell Field. He spoke so low, I couldn't hear him. The car itself was great!!

Reserved a mini van months in advance. When I arrived to pick up my rental I was told there was no mini vans available and was forced to take an SUV. We drove 12.5 hours crammed in a rental I did not reserve. Absolutely the worst rental experience. Will never rent here again.
