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.

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.

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.

Car fuel at pickup was only half full. I returned the car with same amount and they charged me a half tank. It was a pain to correct it, and only because I noted it on the checkout sheet.

Nearly 60 minutes in line to check in. Lack of staff to attend to very long line of customers. Returning car was easy .. very small airport….but charged me double stating that the gas tank was not full on return. Spent an hour on phone with customer service.. emailed gas receipt and finally got charge removed. Not sure how such a simple thing as reading gas tank level can get screwed up. I feel that a charge was trying to be slipped in hoping I would not look at emailed receipt. Not acceptable.

The lady at the Detroit airport pickup office was incredible! She was kind, efficient, and extremely helpful. There was an issue with the first vehicle I picked up. The car smelled like someone had been smoking in the vehicle. That was not acceptable for a week rental. When I went back to the counter and pointed out this problem the person helping me was apologetic and immediately arranged for another vehicle. I would hire this person to work in my office.
