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. At ORD, the car rental counters are in the Multi-Modal Facility, accessible by free shuttle buses from all the terminals. You will find Enterprise, Hertz, and Avis at these airports.
  • Generally, driving car rentals in Michigan City is a manageable task, thanks to less impatient drivers and well-established roads.

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.

KAYAK

Pros:

They wouldn't except your offer told us we would have get our money back from you. They would not except my wife debit card. They said our card was not accepted by our transaction on line with you guys. BUT MONEY was taken out of my wife account. So we would appreciate you to kindly pay back our money and investigate this company.

Cons:

Our money back that was transacted on line. This place needs to be put off your place to do business with. We had to wait an hour and half because they said there was not a car on their grounds for rental. We should also be compensated for the time they made us late on leaving.

6.0 Okay

Jun 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

The price of the deal was excellent. The vehicles were clear and appeared to be in very good condition. Our destination had a Hertz and those folks were fantastic. They resolved the issue of vehicles.

Cons:

The Valparaiso Hertz location was unable to give us the vehicle type (SUV) as we had requested because the license plate was expired! They offered us to drive an hour in the opposite direction to get a vehicle we wanted. Instead they gave us a sedan (which was in itself a nice sedan) but it was clearly not what I paid for. I did not get a discount or a refund because I prepaid. Then we had to wait outside of the facilities while the attendant when and fueled the vehicle! It does not reflect well on Hertz!
