From the Michigan Stadium to the various golf courses and magnificent scenery around, Ann Arbor has plenty in store for travelers. Experience more flexibility when discovering everything the city entails by renting a car there. Whether visiting local attractions or driving out into the Michigan countryside, with a rental car there is nothing keeping you from exploring everything on your wish list.
Whether flying to Ann Arbor via the municipal Ann Arbor Airport or Detroit Metropolitan International Airport, both airports feature onsite car rental service desks, so picking up a car directly after landing is possible in any case. Travelers will most likely fly into Detroit Airport and the car rental center there can be reached with the courtesy shuttles provided. Head to the ground transportation, from where the shuttles depart regularly, to reach your car conveniently.
When visiting Ann Arbor during the winter, be prepared to face ice-covered roads and heavy snowfalls, as both are regular companions to the cold months. It is pivotal to check whether the rental car has winter tires fixed on and also to consider renting snow chains if planning to leave the city limits and driving into the countryside. It is crucial to adjust your speed and drive carefully if wintery road conditions prevail.
During peak times, traffic in Ann Arbor increases mainly on the ring roads I-90, M-14, and US-23, with commuters going in or out of the city. Morning rush hour is usually the most severe from 7 to 9 am, but compared to major cities it is a less intense experience. Evening rush hours peak between 6 and 7 pm and, if possible, driving through the city at these times should be avoided.
Travelers flying into Ann Harbor Municipal Airport can locate the rental car center across the baggage claim in the lower level of the airport terminal. The pick-up parking lot is just a short walk from the rental counter. The airport is about four and a half miles from downtown Ann Arbor, taking about 15min to cover the distance. It is the closest airport rental location to Ann Arbor. On the other hand, Detroit Metropolitan International Airport (DTW) is approximately 27 miles from downtown Ann Arbor, with the drive taking about 30min.
Aggressive driving is prohibited by law in Ann Arbor. To be on the safe side of the law, make sure you heed stop signs, speed signs, and red lights. In Ann Arbor, drivers under 21 years should not operate a vehicle with alcohol levels above 0.02%, while those over 21 should not exceed a BAC of 0.08%. Driving with an open alcohol container in the vehicle is also illegal. Any child under eight years but older than four should be restrained using a booster seat. Those above eight but below 16 years must fasten their safety belt. All rear and front-seat passengers must fasten their seatbelts. Moreover, Ann Arbor car rentals should yield to an emergency vehicle with flashing lights by slowing down and moving over to the right.
Fortunately, drivers of cheap car rentals in Ann Arbor can utilize the major roads and highways spanning Michigan state to access other cities. Interstate-94 is a major freeway running from east to west of the state. It connects Ann Arbor to the metropolitan city of Detroit. It also connects Ann Arbor to the state of Illinois by taking you straight into Chicago. The US 12 is another major road passing the outskirts of Ann Arbor and connecting it to major cities like Detroit. The M-14 highway runs north of Ann Abor, along with US 23, to Washtenaw County.

They booked me to the wrong location (22 miles away from my chosen location), a different location than mentioned on the kayak app, and cleaned the car after I arrived for pickup, and still charged me the same price when I only booked the car for 24 hours and had it for 3 hours less due to the location and rebooking issues.

The line for both pickup and dropoff was REALLY long. Once I did get to talk to someone the staff bent over backwards to make the experience smooth.
