KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Okemos

  • Getting a vehicle from car rentals in Okemos offers several advantages over public transit. Unlike public transportation networks, a rental car allows you to set your own schedule and explore the region at your own pace. Furthermore, car rentals in Okemos will grant you easy access to remote destinations or zones not easily accessible by public transit. Moreover, vehicles from Okemos car rentals are ideal for travelers with specific itineraries or tight schedules, as they eliminate the need to adhere to fixed bus or train timetables. Some of the region's attractions include Meridian Historical Village, North Meridian Road Park, and Wonch Park.
  • Capital Region International Airport (LAN) and Bishop International Airport (FNT) are the major airports serving the region of Okemos, Michigan. At LAN, the rental counters are located in the airport terminal, directly in front of baggage claim. Upon arrival at FNT, you'll find the car rental counters at the east end of the terminal building near baggage claim. Note that all renters must be 18 or older, and they must have a valid driver’s license and a major credit card or debit card in their name. Moreover, some car rental companies feature an underage surcharge for drivers between the ages of 21 and 24.
  • The driving experience in Okemos reflects the broader emphasis on adherence to traffic rules and regulations. Okemos features well-maintained road infrastructure, contributing to an orderly traffic flow.

  • Okemos features rush hour periods from around 7:30 am to 9 am as commuters travel to work and from around 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm as people return home. The major roads that feature heavy traffic during these times are primarily Grand River Avenue and Meridian Road. To escape the congested roads, opt for alternative routes like Jolly Road and Haslett Road. Using car rentals in Okemos can be difficult during the winter months as the region is susceptible to heavy snowfall and icy conditions, especially between December and February, leading to slippery roads.

My rental was fast and easy, gratefully considering it was at the end of a long hellacious travel day. Even though the rental agent was in her first week, it was still a very quick and painless process.

Passenger van

I made my reservation 3 weeks early. 3 days before pick up they called to tell me they did not have the van size I needed at that location. They said they would help me find a van somewhere else and they never called me back again. I was very disappointed.

Pros:

It wasn't the locations fault. The staff was friendly.

Cons:

I reserved a car online through a discount dealer. So I blame them, really. It allowed me to make the reservation when in fact the location only had minivans left. The minivans would have cost an additional (approximately from memory) $150 or something. I couldn't afford that. Also this location was only accepting credit cards - no debit cards or cash.

The Budget facility was convenient and workers were helpful.

Cons:

The vehicle had a strong smoke odor, not very clean, and some interior trim pieces were broken. Both of the passenger side grab handles were loose or held on by only one screw.
