KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lansing
Make the most of your time in Lansing by renting a car to help you get around the bustling city with ease. Public transportation may be a cheaper alternative, but it is less flexible. You may also have to wait a long time to catch a bus. Using a taxi can be convenient although it often turns out to be more expensive. Renting a car from one of the car rentals in Lansing will help you explore several attractions in and around this charming city, like the iconic Michigan History Center located in Downtown Lansing, and the Waterloo State Recreational Area, located 48 miles from Lansing.
Capital Region International Airport has multiple rental car agencies. The Lansing car rentals customer service counters are located in the terminal across the airport's baggage claim area. There are several car rental companies, including Avis, Hertz, Budget, National, Sunnycars, Eagle Rent A Car, and Enterprise, with spaces within walking distance of the terminal.
A great way to take in Lansing's scenic beauty is by driving around. Expect to encounter some heavy traffic, especially during rush hour, which tends to make navigating challenging. However, most car rentals in Lansing stock cars that come fitted with a navigating system to help you find your way with ease. Be sure to drive slowly during the winter months to avoid skidding and watch out for roadwork and jaywalkers, who do not adhere to road use rules.
Lansing normally has light traffic, except during the morning rush hour, which is between 7:30am-8am and 4:30pm-6pm, especially on the west and east sides of town. You are likely to get stuck in slow-moving traffic if you use the 1-496, which gets congested during rush hour from all the people driving from Downtown Lancing. If this is the case, you can opt for less congested roads like Michigan Avenue. Winters in Lansing can be severe, which makes driving difficult due to icy and slippery roads, so be sure to leave early for your destination.
Small rental cars in Lansing are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Lansing
What type of car is recommended for driving in Lansing?
Because of Lansing's harsh winter conditions between January and March, SUVs and four-wheel drive vehicles are more suitable, as they make navigating in thick snow and slippery icy roads easier. Renting a compact luxury car is ideal for exploring the city's attractions during the summer months.
What’s the speed limit in Lansing?
If you are driving in a residential area, by a school, or in most areas within the city limits, especially in parks and work zones, you need to maintain a speed limit of 25mph. When driving on the highways and freeways in the city's outskirts, you should maintain a speed limit between 55mph and 75mph. There are traffic cameras at various intersections, with some on interstate 1-96 and 1-496, so be sure to adhere to traffic rules.
Where are the best places to park in Lansing?
Lansing has plenty of parking lots, garages, and on-street parking sections where you can safely park your vehicle. The Albert Avenue Garage is a convenient place with ample parking space that charges $1.50 for 2h. For other affordable parking options, you can leave your car at the North Grand Ramp for $3 for 2h or the City of Lancing Lot 50 at $36 per month. The city has a modernized parking system to make it easier for you to find parking spaces.
I bought the car through kayak, then upgraded the car when I arrived. Instead of upgrading the first purchase, they charged me for a different car, so I had to pay for two cars when I only used one.

My rental was fast and easy, gratefully considering it was at the end of a long hellacious travel day. Even though the rental agent was in her first week, it was still a very quick and painless process.

Was given a smaller car than the one that was booked. Space not enough for luggage for an airport drop off.

They told me they couldn't rent me a car without flight information. So if I was your company I would take them off your search list.

Passenger van
I made my reservation 3 weeks early. 3 days before pick up they called to tell me they did not have the van size I needed at that location. They said they would help me find a van somewhere else and they never called me back again. I was very disappointed.
