KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cleveland Heights

  • There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in Cleveland Heights. Firstly, there are several popular destinations around the city that can be more easily accessible if you have a car. For example, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is around a 20-minute drive from Cleveland Heights. Other popular destinations like Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Lake Erie are also easily accessible via car. Using Cleveland Heights car rentals is also more convenient than other transportation options like taxis or ride-sharing services, especially if you need to make multiple stops or have a lot of luggage.
  • The Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is approximately 15 miles from Cleveland Heights. To get Cleveland Heights car rentals at CLE, you should proceed to the Rental Car Shuttle pick-up area located outside of baggage claim. There is a shuttle that usually takes travelers to the Rental Car Center, which houses all the rental car offices. It is important to note that not all rental car companies provide shuttles from the airport to their pickup locations, so it is recommended to confirm with the specific company beforehand. Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) is approximately 44 miles from Cleveland Heights. The car rental agency counters are located on the ground floor of the airport terminal building, near the baggage claim area.
  • The roads in Cleveland Heights are generally well-maintained, with clear signage and markings. However, it's important to note that bicycles are a common sight on the roads in Cleveland Heights, so it's important to keep an eye out for them and give them enough space when driving cheap car rentals in Cleveland Heights. Additionally, there is a significant population of students in Cleveland Heights, which means that there can be many people jaywalking or crossing the street without paying close attention. Thus, drivers need to be vigilant and yield to pedestrians as much as possible.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Cleveland Heights can be challenging during rush hour, particularly in the morning between 7 am and 9 am and early evening between 4 pm and 6 pm when people are commuting to and from work. Rush hour traffic can cause major congestion on major roads such as Cedar Road, Mayfield Road, and Coventry Road. It is recommended to avoid these routes during rush hour if possible, or to plan alternative routes ahead of time to avoid the heaviest traffic. The winter months can also be particularly challenging for drivers in Cleveland Heights because the city typically experiences heavy snowfall and icy road conditions during this time.

This was the easiest and quickest pick up I’ve ever experienced. Craig Eubanks made sure I understood what I was signing when picking up the rental and ensured I was comfortable with the vehicle offered. When returning, Craig made sure the experience was great and offered to make the experience better if it was not what I expected. Great customer service. I will return again.

Every time I rent from this location the reservation time seems to be merely a suggestion. I have constantly been made to wait for the car to arrive and then be ready. This time my reservation was for 2pm and my car wasn’t ready until 3:40.

Pros:

The people were all nice and wasted no time to get me moving. They were also informative and helpful. The amenities in the car were nice. They inspected the vehicle before and after and I was in and out in 10 minutes. Good employees.

Cons:

I really didn't like the vehicle that I got. I got a Fiat 500x which ran really rough from 1st to 5th gear, literally jerking me forward with each shift. It was also not fun to drive, accelerating was rough, it was loud and the A/C didn't keep the car cool at all. Not a smooth ride at all. However my biggest complaint is that I reserved a RAV4 or similar category which has about 60+ cubic feet of cargo space and that is the only thing I needed from the rental, instead I received a small SUV which has about as much space as my Honda Civic. Had I known I would have just taken my Civic and saved myself the $341. It doesn't make sense to advertise a RAV4 or similar and then have this small Fiat in the same category and charge the same price. Waste of money.

I thought I was picking up at the airport location but it turns out it was about 30 mins away. Seems like it would be a simple fix but I was told that because I booked through a third-party that Hertz couldn't do anything. Also, the vehicle had a strong smoke odor on the interior...not cool when you're traveling with family and small children.

Pros:

When I first arrived at the rental counter at Cleveland/Hopkins airport, the clerk informed me my rental had been made at another Cleveland location miles away. When I asked if there was anything she could do to help me she imphaticaly said no. A supervisor happened to be there and came to my rescue. She was wonderful. The first clerk was not going to even try to help or ask the supervisor if anything could be done. To her, the mistake and inconvenience didn't matter. Once the supervisor helped things went well and quick. My return person was great!

Cons:

Perhaps train clerks in regards to customer service. They appear to have NO desire to help solve problems. Thank goodness for a competent supervisor!

Pros:

Car rental was set for 6:00-- I arrived to the lot at 6:02 as a function of traffic and work. No-one was there to be found as they had closed at 6:00 on the dot which is interesting since this was my pickup time (how can you close at 6 and also rent a car at 6?). Anyways, I called "customer no service" who refused to help me in any fashion. They would not find me a comparable truck anywhere nearby without significant fees. The best they could offer was to replace my $298 rental for a >$600 rental, which is in no way comparable. Needless to say, I ate the loss and rented a car with enterprise. I will never use Hertz or this location again and I'd advise you do the same.

Cons:

They gave a car without cruise control and they did not inform me even if they knew I was going on a 800m drive. They offered me satellite radio for example but they never thought of offering me a cruise control even at higher prices. I realized way to late that there was no cruise control, while on my drive. When I asked for a different car even in a different town they claimed there was none. The car I had was vibrating really badly at higher speeds (I am not sure if it was the mirror or the door) and the speedometer was jumping over 2-3 miles at these speeds instead of being continuous...This car had a milage of 33K but it drove like it had 130K. I would have never taken it in a long drive if I knew how it drove. I was hoping I was bringing it back in one piece. I will not rent again from this company.

I am a non smoker. Meaning never in life smoked cigarettes or marijuana. If a vehicle has any smoke smell, leave it out of service until the smell dissipates. Also, customer service would be communicating to the customer prior to assigning the vehicle. The smoke smell nor damage was communicated until after it was noticed at vehicle entry. I then returned to the counter to confirm all concerns were documented and they had been, but notccommunicated.

The clerk was cool, but that was about the only thing I wouldn't complain about. First, doing the renting through the app was terrible. I ordered the $11/day insurance along with the rental, but when I placed the order, I got a message that said the rental had been done but they couldn't and didn't add the insurance. So, I got the insurance at the counter for $15/day, only to find out that the insurance HAD BEEN PURCHASED. I paid MORE for the insurance at the counter than I did for the insurance through the app. It was too late to change it, so I had to cancel the insurance that would have cost me less. Then, I used my zip card to make the reservation, because I wanted to break up my payments. When I got to the counter, the card didn't work, so I gave my credit card to hold the charge and THEY USED THAT FOR THE PAYMENT INSTEAD. I get the car and it looks like it's been sitting in someone's driveway under some trees. Little dead leaves and grit all over it! At least the interior was clean, but it was too small. My knees were scrunched the whole time. I adjusted the seat back as far as it could go and my knees were STILL scrunched. On top of that, I turn in the car at 6 p.m. as per the reservation. I find out the next day that I've been charged for a whole other day. Thank God that when I called, they immediately corrected it. But I'm skeptical whether I'll use their services, again. Needless to say, this was an all around horrible experience. Fix it so that there is no glitch or confusion with the insurance going through with the reservation. Have the car rinsed down before handing someone the keys. Have a more consistent system that recognizes different methods of payment both online and at the counter.
