Top tips for renting a car in Michigan

  • Some of Michigan’s most-traveled roads do not require tolls. However, most of these free-access roads tend to be quite busy, especially during peak traffic hours. Toll roads, on the other hand, tend to be less congested, making them ideal for people who are in a rush to beat traffic or catch their flights. Most city roads experience traffic jams during rush hours (around 7:00 - 9:00 am and 5:00 - 7:00 pm). You may want to avoid starting your trips during these hours.
  • Generally, Michigan is known for cold winters and plentiful snow. So, if you’re planning on visiting the state during the cold months, be sure to rent a car with snow tires. Some car-rental companies offer snow chains for an extra fee, so be sure to look out for this. When you’re driving in Michigan, especially in the major cities, be on the lookout for signs that indicate snow emergency routes. Parking is not allowed when snowplowing is underway.
  • Michigan, like all the other US states, has its own set of traffic laws. Every driver and front-seat passenger in a vehicle must correctly wear an adjustable seatbelt on all roads. Children between four and eight years old must be properly secured in a child-restraint system. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is illegal in the state of Michigan, and penalties might include fines, suspension of driver’s license, or even jail time. While Michigan does not make it expressly illegal to operate mobile phones while driving, the city of Detroit has a ban on cell phone use while driving if you’re not using a hands-free device.

  • Luxury rental cars in Michigan are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Michigan

  • Should I rent a car in Michigan?

    Whether you’re traveling to Michigan for leisure or business, car-rental services will help you get around and explore the state hassle-free. Check off every item on your to-do list at your own preferred pace and pleasure when you take advantage of Michigan car rental service. Public transportation is unreliable at times; besides this, there are areas in the state that are not covered by bus or train networks. This is where a rental car comes in handy. With a Michigan car rental service, you can forget about spending thousands of dollars on taxis and ride shares or figuring out the bus schedule. If you’re visiting the state for vacation, a rental car gives you the privacy with your loved ones that you so greatly need. Most importantly, you can search in advance and make your reservation online several days or weeks ahead of your trip using KAYAK’s reliable search engine.

  • What is driving like in Michigan?

    Michigan is a beautiful state to discover with your car rental services, but don’t forget to learn the rules of the road if you’re going to be driving in the state. While Michigan is considered a safe state for driving, not every driver in Michigan is a good one. It’s not unusual to come across hostile drivers who do not care about turn signals or other driving regulations. Keeping a safe distance from other motorists is usually a good idea when driving on the highway. Thanks to seasonal attractions like skiing and beautiful snowfall, winter is one of the best times of year to visit Northern Michigan. If you’re heading in this direction, be careful and watch out for snowstorms. Proper scheduling is essential if you’re traveling up-state; if you choose to go north at the wrong time, you could end up in a blizzard or stuck in slow-moving ski traffic.

  • How old do you have to be to rent a car in Michigan?

    Nearly all car-rental companies in Michigan require renters to be at least twenty one years of age. When making your booking, be sure to come with a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance coverage, and a second form of ID, such as a valid passport. Most car-rental companies also impose a surcharge on renters below the age of twenty five. It’s important that you check the rental company’s policy on age requirements and fees before making your reservation.
