Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Detroit
- Detroit SUV rentals typically have more seating capacity than standard cars, making them suitable for larger groups of travelers or families. SUVs often come equipped with advanced safety features, such as collision avoidance systems, lane departure warnings, and blind-spot monitoring, enhancing driver and passenger safety. If you plan to explore the Great Lakes region or go on road trips to nearby attractions like the Henry Ford Museum or Mackinac Island, the spacious interior of an SUV provides comfort and room for passengers and luggage.
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is a convenient location for securing Detroit SUV rentals. After retrieving your baggage, simply follow the signs to Ground Transportation. There, you can catch a complimentary shuttle that will transport you to the rental car campus, where you'll find nine rental car companies ready to assist you. Shuttle bus stops for rental car services are conveniently located within the Ground Transportation Centers of both garages at the airport.
- Like many cities in the Midwest, Detroit is known for its potholes, especially after winter. Detroit experiences snowy and icy winters. If you're driving Detroit SUV rentals during the winter months, consider renting an SUV with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive for better traction on slippery roads. SUVs may have a larger turning radius than smaller vehicles. Be mindful when navigating tight corners or parking lots. Ensure your SUV is locked when parked, and never leave valuable items in plain sight.
- Weekdays between approximately 7:00 and 9:00 am can be particularly congested on major highways like I-94 and I-75. This is also true between 4:00 and 6:00 pm on weekdays. Friday afternoons during rush hour can be especially challenging, as many people start their weekend travel plans or head out for social activities. Detroit hosts a variety of events, including sports games, concerts, and festivals. Traffic around event venues, such as Ford Field, Comerica Park, and Little Caesars Arena, can be congested on event days.

May 2021
Pros:
Staff was helpful and the drop off was VERY quick and easy.Cons:
Computers were down when picking up my rental, so there was a long line and long wait to complete the paperwork. Then, after the paperwork was completed, they had to radio someone to bring up our rental (a minivan) and we waited more than 20 minutes for someone to bring it. I went back to the counter and asked if the van was somewhere we could walk to and pick it up and they radioed again. Then I watched as a porter went to a minivan that was a short walk (maybe 100 yards away) and drive the car to the front of the building.6.0 Okay

$13/day to add a spouse as a driver is ridiculous. Every other car rental company that I’ve used does this for free. Will not be using Thrifty in the future on this basis.Payless

Staff was friendly and helpful. Upgraded the vehicle (with a charge) to make our trip the best it could be. Vehicle was brand new (3 miles on it when I drove it off the lot), clean, and had a full tank of gas.Cons:
The rental counter was short staffed (1 person working the main counter, 1 person working the "Gold" counter) with several people standing in line. I arrived at 3:05 for a 3:00 pick-up and didn't get out the door until almost 4. Service was great, once I got to an agent.10.0 Wonderful

Jul. 2016
Pros:
The car was great and drop off was quick and easy.Cons:
The pickup was terrible. Attendant in the lot just stared right through me as I asked a question 3 times and then yelled into his radio. Eventually I gave up and figured it out myself. He never acknowledged that I was even standing there. Then i walked all the way across the lot to the building and the clerk inside asked a bunch of questions about insurance even though I purchased it when I booked the car. I didn't know it was third party but he acted like it was no good. Then told me to go out by the fence to get a truck. The only vehicles by the fence were needing maintenance. Someone drove by and told me to go back in and have him call for one. So I did. Waited 15 more minutes and the lady from Alamo came to ask if I was waiting for a truck and that it had been parked on the other side.Easirent
