KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ann Arbor
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 hire 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 hire 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 hire 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 hire 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.
Medium rental cars in Ann Arbor are around 58% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Ann Arbor
What type of car is recommended for driving in Ann Arbor?
Especially for winter visits, opt for a 4-wheel-drive car, as it provides the traction you will definitely need on the snowed-in roads. Unless extra space is needed, renting a smaller car comes with advantages in the city, as it fits in more parking spaces and will cost less per day in most cases.
What’s the speed limit in Ann Arbor?
In the very heart of Ann Arbor, speed limits between 25 and 30 mph are enforced. The further drivers venture out, the faster they can go. 35-40 mph is permitted in outer areas of Ann Arbor and 65 mph can be driven as soon as drivers leave the city and continue on rural roads. On the freeway, 70 mph is permitted in the whole state of Michigan.
Where are the best places to park in Ann Arbor?
There are metered lots and on-street parking spaces available in Ann Arbor. Meters usually require payment Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 6 pm with rates of around $1.70 per hour. There are also parking garages and lots available throughout the city, like Fourth and Washington Structure on Washington Street or First & William Lot on First Street, which cost around $1.20 per hour but are free to use for the first two hours.
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.

This Hertz franchise closes at 4 p.m on weekdays. My reservation was made for 4p. You can imagine my surprise when arriving at 410p and finding that they were closed!
