  • Where are the best places to park in Escanaba?

    There is plenty of parking available for car rentals in Escanaba. You will find public parking lots on Bath House Road, Ludington Street, and Loren W Jenkins Memorial Drive, as well as in many other locations.

Cons:

I was informed that my rental car was not available 2 hours prior to pick up and that there were no other vehicles available at this location. It would have been helpful to know this information hours in advance (i.e. first thing that morning) since all my travel plans were contingent on getting this vehicle on time.

The rep for Enterprise didn’t have my contact info to try and confirm the reservation. It would help them and prevent a problem if they had access to our contact info.

Rental agent wasn't even at the desk. Waited 30 min and tried calling the phone number left on a sign which went straight to voicemail. The agents at the other car rental companies' desks nearby said they hadn't even seen anyone come in today. I gave up and rented a car from National instead.
