KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kent

  • One of the significant advantages of renting cheap car rentals in Kent is the convenience it offers. With a rental car, you won't have to worry about time constraints or finding a taxi or bus to take you to your destination. Another great advantage of a rental car in Kent is its affordability. While public transportation might seem like a cheaper alternative, the costs can add up, especially if you're planning on traveling extensively. Some beautiful places worth visiting in Kent with a car include Kent State University Museum, Cuyahoga River, Fred Fuller Park, and the Kent Stage.
  • The rental car offices at the Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) are conveniently located inside the terminal building, adjacent to baggage claim. Passengers can easily access the rental car counters by following the signs to the baggage claim area after they disembark from their flight. Courtesy phones are available near the baggage claim area for passengers who need to contact rental car companies to request shuttle service to off-airport rental locations that offer Kent car rentals.
  • There are a few things that one should be aware of when driving cheap car rentals in Kent. Kent has a "move over" law, which requires motorists to move over to the next lane or slow down when passing any emergency vehicles with flashing lights. This law applies whether the emergency vehicle is stopped on the side of the road or in the middle of traffic. When driving in downtown Kent, it's essential to be aware of pedestrians. There are many crosswalks and pedestrian-friendly areas, and jaywalking is not uncommon. Therefore, it's vital to keep an eye out for pedestrians as they may step out into the road unexpectedly.
  • Drivers may encounter some congestion during rush hour periods, especially on main roads like State Route 43 and State Route 261, when operating Kent car rentals. The rush hour is typically during the morning and evening commute times, usually from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Additionally, Kent can experience a fair amount of snow and ice, which can make driving more challenging. Motorists using Kent car rentals should be particularly cautious during winter storms and heavy precipitation events, which can make roads slippery and reduce visibility.

  • What’s the speed limit in Kent?

    The speed limit in Kent varies depending on the type of road and the zone. In residential areas, the speed limit is typically 25 mph.

It's important to pay attention to speed limit signs when driving your car rental in Kent to avoid getting a ticket or causing an accident.

The car was NOT clean. The attendant told me it had just been dropped off and did I want the dirty seat wiped down...yes, please 🙄 A few minutes after leaving the pickup, the deodorizer wore off and the car smelled like an old shoe. I drove with the windows down when I could it smelled so bad.
