KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Southgate
- There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in Southgate. One of the main benefits is the freedom and flexibility it offers. Having your own car allows you to explore the city and its surroundings at your leisure and on your own schedule. This is particularly useful if you plan to visit attractions that are not easily accessible via public transportation. The city of Southgate is home to several noteworthy sights including the Michigan Central Railroad Station, the Henry Ford Museum, and Greenfield Village. In addition to these local attractions, having Southgate car rentals also makes it easier to explore nearby cities like Detroit and Ann Arbor.
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is located about 17 miles from Southgate and is the closest airport where you can pick up Southgate car rentals. The rental car agencies at DTW are located in the McNamara Terminal and the North Terminal and there is a shuttle bus service that runs between the terminals and the rental car facilities. Ann Arbor Airport (ARB) is a smaller regional airport located about 20 miles from Southgate. Car rentals are located near the airport and you can take a taxi from outside the terminal.
- When driving cheap car rentals in Southgate, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a safe and smooth driving experience. Southgate drivers tend to be reasonably calm and relaxed, with a general adherence to traffic rules and regulations. Additionally, it's worth noting that Southgate has a number of designated bike lanes, so bicyclists are a common sight on the road. Be sure to give them plenty of space and respect their right to use the road. You'll likely see a mix of cars, trucks, and SUVs on Southgate's roads, with no particularly dominant vehicle type.
- Southgate is a suburban city with mostly residential areas and commercial establishments. It is not a very large and busy city, therefore, traffic is generally manageable. However, rush hour traffic can be heavy during typical weekday times typically from 6:30 am to 9 am and 3:30 pm to 6 pm on weekdays. Some of the roads that are most affected during peak hours are Fort Street, Dix Toledo Road, and Northline Road.
