KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Duluth
- Car rentals in Duluth are a convenient and comfortable way to travel throughout the city. The city does not have an extensive public transportation system, so driving is the best way to go between locations and neighborhoods. By having access to Duluth car rentals, you can easily go to sights that may not be as close to the city center. For example, there is the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area, which is around a 20min drive from downtown Duluth, as well as the Jay Cooke State Park, which can be reached by car in approximately 30min.
- You can always book your car rentals in Duluth directly at Duluth International Airport (DLH). Duluth International Airport has a car rental center that is placed directly in the Arrivals terminal, not far from where baggage claim is located. The car rental center hosts several major rental companies, including Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National.
- To make sure that you operate car rentals in Duluth as safely as possible, it’s important that you learn about local driving laws and different driving tips for the area. For example, all children under the age of eight must always be in a proper safety seat. If you would like to pass a car on a two to four lane highway, you have the legal right to increase your speed limit by up to 10 mph over the designated speed limit. You also must always have your headlights on during fog, snow, sleet, rain, and hail.
- If you want to avoid getting caught in a traffic jam, try not to be on the roads during rush hour, which is generally between 7:00 and 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 and 5:30 p.m. There are some roads in the city that tend to be more congested than others, and these include Interstates 35, 61, and 535. During the winter months, the city tends to have a lot of snow and rain, so you will also want to pay extra attention when driving in these conditions.
- Book your rental car in Duluth at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Duluth are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average

On other roads within the city, you will often find a speed limit of 30 mph. When you drive on expressways in the city, the speed limit is generally 65 mph, while for interstates, it is typically 70 mph.
Where are the best places to park in Duluth?
Duluth has many street parking meters that are a convenient option for visitors, especially when visiting downtown. These parking meters can be paid for with coins or cards, and there is also a smartphone app that anyone can download to help make payment easier. There are also several parking lots, both paid and free, that are conveniently positioned within the city and generally have plenty of free spaces. For example, there is the Duluth Transit Center lot that offers both hourly and daily rates, as well as a series of municipal lots throughout the city that offer similar fares.

Pros:
I was sitting at the Philadelphia airport waiting for my flight when I received a call from Avis telling me that they would be closed when I arrived at 9:48 from Chicago. I live in a remote rural area, and was completely stranded in Duluth. It seems to me thatCons:
It seems to me that if you have a car rental, someone should stay at the desk until the last flight comes in. The later, the more urgent this is.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Staff was helpful. Extended the reservation to one week because I wasn’t sure how long I would need the car and then dropped it back down to the original price when it was only one day after all.Cons:
Low comfort rating is because the car (2019 Volkswagen Jetta) beeped loudly whenever the door was open while idling. I was delivering newspapers and over 7 hours I had to open the door probably 150 times. Fried my nerves and I have never despised a car so much in my life. But not Avis’ fault.Budget

Pros:
Alexa is the branch manager in Duluth at Central Entrance. She was extremely helpful in a very busy time. I was stuck with a car that just didn't work for us, and she was able to move things around to enable myself and my kids to make it back to Minneapolis to catch our flight. outstanding customer service. Very efficient as well.2.0 Poor

Nov. 2016
Pros:
Great staff at Enterprise in Duluth. Very accommodating staff. Will use again in the future.Cons:
The car would chug when you are starting to accelerate after being at a stoplight. When I returned the car I let them know of the problem only to find out it is a feature on the car for emissions/fuel economy? It would have been nice to know that ahead of time.10.0 Wonderful

Feb. 2017
Pros:
I made my reservation online to rent a car on 1/30/2017 and bought the auto insurance to go with it. The charge of $45 was billed immediately and I was to pay for the car when I checked in. He told me I couldn't get the car bc I didn't have a Credit Card in my name...I was upset bc I've never been denied a rental before and it was a huge inconvience for me. I didn't complain, and went on my way. However, the insurance charge is still showing on my account and was never reversed at time of check in. I asked the employee who worked front desk, but he said he couldn't help me. How do I go about getting these charged reversed? Thank you for your time, Holly ThomasCons:

Jul. 2016
Pros:
Price, car was clean, I was able to book easily online (and at the last minute).Cons:
No economy available, was given a Ford Focus (which has terrible visibility). Also wish there was a pick-up and drop-off downtown rather than only the airport option.Easirent
