KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Michigan City

  • If you visit Indiana, consider getting Michigan City car rentals to explore numerous destinations when you get there. While the city features incredible public transportation, buses and trains ply specific routes and operate on preset schedules. Besides, they often get crowded and noisy, making them unreliable if you are looking for comfort and flexibility on your vacation. Therefore, driving is a sure way to achieve comfort and convenience. To this end, you can drive to any location with car rentals in Michigan City. The locations include but are not limited to Washington Park Zoo, Trail Creek, Michigan City Beach, Shady Creek Winery, Old Lighthouse Museum, and Indiana Dunes National Park.
  • Multiple airports serve flights to Michigan City. Some of them are South Bend International Airport (SBN), Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). Pick up your car rentals in Michigan City when you land to commence your adventure immediately. If you land at SBN, the rental desks are in the baggage claim area. If you land at MDW, find the car rental services at the Rental Car Facility. Courtesy shuttle buses run from the Arrivals Lower Level front curb near Door 2 to the facility.

Furthermore, drive with a lower gear for traction. Since precipitation and snowfall compromise your vision and that of other drivers, drive with your headlights on even during the day.

I rented a 15 passenger van. I was really impressed with the quality and amenities of the Ford Transit. I received a great rate that was more than half off compared to local agencies. Will definitely rent here again.
