In addition, you do not have to wait for the bus schedules. This leaves more time to explore the city's top attractions, like Detroit Zoo and Wagner Park. Car rentals in Royal Oaks offer the flexibility hard to come with public transport. You can explore Royal Oaks like a local and provide door-to-door transportation. Getting car rentals is an excellent choice when you have no other travel option, especially for first-time visitors.
  • When taking a flight to Royal Oaks, you will most likely arrive via Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County International Airport (DTW). To pick up Royal Oaks car rentals from the airport. Once you’ve claimed your baggage, follow signs to Ground Transportation and take a courtesy shuttle to the rental car campus, located at the Northeast corner of the airport along Lucas Drive. Rental car shuttle bus stops can be found in the Ground Transportation Centers of the McNamara Terminal Parking Garage and the Big Blue Deck of the Evans Terminal. To stay ahead of the crowds, consider making earlier reservations.

Keep your headlights if heavy fog and other weather conditions reduce your visibility to 500 feet.

Also, always yield to service vehicles such as road maintenance and waste collection that have come to a stop or have their lights flashing.

The friendliness and ease of picking up and dropping off the rental car was great! Vehicle was very clean. Their service was exceptional

Pros:

Pickup was wonderfully easy; upgraded from intermediate to a large SUV. Drop off through Dropbox at airport very simple.

Cons:

Car could have been cleaner inside and out.

2.0 Poor

KAYAK

Pros:

The drop off process was bad. The Hertz location was suppose to open at 7:30am but nobody was there. There was no drop box to leave keys. I was late for work waiting for someone to show up - they arrived to open the location at 8:15am.

Cons:

Customers shouldn't be waiting to drop off a vehicle. All locations need a way to drop off keys. It was unacceptable that I was forced to put my day on hold and be late for work because nobody was at the location to receive keys.

4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, Jul 2024

Intermediate SUV

KAYAK
Extra trips were made, from hotel to this location, due to the fact that it wasn’t specified that they don’t take debit for a deposit hold, only credit. Also they only have the chip reader for the credit card, we had to make a separate trip because they don’t have tap to touch. What originally was a 9 o’clock pick up ended up to be an 11 AM pick up. They did upgrade us, but the fact of the matter is we had another rental to turn in with a different company and because these specifics of their franchise weren't posted anywhere online, it affected us negatively.
