KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Toledo
- If you’re driving Toledo car rentals with two or more passengers, then you’re in luck because most highways have carpool lanes that can reduce travel time. These carpool lanes – also known as high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes – can be found on I-75 and I-280 going north and south or I-475 going east and west. During non-operational hours, anyone may use the lanes. However, during the peak hours of 6 am to 10 am and 3 pm to 7 pm, only cars with two or more passengers may use the lanes. Improper use of the lanes can lead to a fine of roughly $100 to $200 or so.
- When driving cheap car rentals in Toledo it’s important to be aware of the national holidays and local events that might affect traffic. The Toledo Farmer’s Market is held on Saturday mornings from roughly 8 am to 2 pm throughout the year. This may cause extra traffic around Market Street, S Huron Street, and S Superior Street. On October 1, the University of Toledo holds its annual Homecoming parade. It starts at 10 am and goes through Middlesex Road, Christie Street, and Cheltenham Drive. Lastly, in early December, the East Toledo Christmas Parade affects traffic on East Broadway Street in the late morning/early afternoon.
- Those driving Toledo car rentals don’t need to concern themselves about tolls when driving within the city of Toledo itself. However, if you plan on going east toward Cleveland or west toward Chicago, then you may use the Ohio Turnpike, which is a toll road. The Ohio Turnpike runs from east to west along northern Ohio and is made up of I-76, I-80, and I-90. Before exiting the toll road, you pay a toll fee based on the vehicle’s weight and class alongside and travel distance. You can pay this with cash, credit/debit cards, or with an E-ZPass transponder.
- Toledo offers various sites and events within and around the city, like a game at the Fifth Third Field, which you can quickly access with the right transportation.

Nov 2020
Pros:
Great value for one-way rental. Vehicle was in like-new condition and exceeded my expectations. Drop-off was super easy.Cons:
Toledo branch manager Jon Orr was condescending, arrogant, and power-hungry. He refused to allow me to me take possession of the vehicle because my AAA number had not been attached to the reservation I booked via Hotline 10 days earlier. I called Hertz corporate and they were able to fix the issue easily and directed Mr. Orr to allow me to pick up the vehicle as planned, which he did, with no apologies to me and while announcing that he would report the corporate employee who had helped me for non-compliance. I would expect a more professional attitude from a branch manager.Enterprise Rent-A-Car
