KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Romulus

  • Romulus car rentals are a great way to explore this town in Michigan and everything it has to offer. There is public transportation available in the form of buses, but these buses are few and far between and can take a long time to reach their destinations. With car rentals in Romulus, Michigan, you will not have to spend time waiting for the bus; you can just hop into your vehicle and hit the road to explore the area on your own schedule and via your own chosen routes. For example, you could take a trip into Detroit and drive north to Lake St. Clair.
  • If you are arriving in Romulus by plane, you will likely be landing at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). There are several car rental agencies operating out of DTW, so you will have plenty of options to choose from upon arrival. There are desks for companies such as Alamo, Hertz, Enterprise, Dollar, and more at the rental car center at the airport. After you claim your luggage, follow the signs for Ground Transportation. You will need to board a free shuttle to reach the rental car center. You will find the shuttle bus pickup points in the Ground Transportation Centers of the parking garages near the McNamara Terminal and on the Big Blue Deck of the Evans Terminal.
  • Romulus, Michigan, is a suburb of Detroit. The roads here are in good condition, although you may encounter the occasional pothole. Motorists generally respect the rules of the road here so you should not have a hard time navigating this area in car rentals in Romulus. However, always drive attentively and be aware of your surroundings. In the winter, heavy snow is common and could hinder driving abilities.
  • Being in between the cities of Detroit and Ann Arbor, Romulus sees heavy rush-hour traffic in the mornings and evenings on weekdays when residents are commuting to and from work in these cities.

Great staff and good cost. The Jeep was perfect for northern lower Michigan. The car had two big scratches on the passenger side but was clean and full of gas. The check-in personnel were fast and easy also.

The staff at pickup was excellent. The staff at drop-off was horrible - the lady was rude. The car rode fine - but: The car smelled like cleaning perfume at pickup but by the next day that smell evaporated and the car stunk like smoke the next four days. I had no smokers in the car but the people that I gave rides to all complained about the stinky odor. It was apparently not deep cleaned before they gave me the car.

I got there at 2am after flight delays of 12 hrs. Wait time for service was 1 hr in line. Then I get a car that is outside running with the window down in 20degree weather. No keys to be found. Apparently the cleaners took them home with them. After 30 mins the next vehicle I was given was a van, I left the lot going down I-96 and the rear trunk lid went up. I stopped and couldn't get it to close. I go back to the rental lot and they can't get it closed. It was frozen from the car wash. I left in a third vehicle at 4;15am in a van and was very happy with it.

Enterprise refused to rent to me. They would not accept a state-issued temporary driver's license from the state of WI. I was literally turned away at the counter. So, I made a reservation under my wife's name. When she went to pick up the car, she was turned away at the counter because the vehicle had just been rented to someone else, and the desk agent said it was against their policy to allow for same-day, one-way rentals. Going 0 for 2 with Enterprise was exceedingly frustrating. I won't be giving them my business in the future. Also, the fact that Kayak allowed a same-day, one-way rental against the policies of the store was frustrating. A better agreement between Kayak and its vendors should be established. Perhaps Kayak's partners should be obliged to honor agreements made on their behalf through Kayak.

6.0 Okay

Everything was fine. When I asked to extend the rental from another 18 hours, though, I was told the fee would have been $103. That is excessive.
