KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Canton

  • Renting a car in Canton is more convenient than using public buses. Buses stop only at bus stations, but driving gives you the freedom to make several stops along the way. For example, if you love parks and nature, you can drive to Paradise Lake Park, 20 miles northeast of Canton. Warther Museum is approximately 18 miles south of the city, and driving is the best way to get there.
  • When it comes to Canton car rentals, most rental companies will require you to have a credit card. They require a credit card to secure the rental and for the payment of any additional fees, such as fuel, damage, or late return charges. However, a few other companies may accept a debit card payment for the rental, which usually requires a larger deposit or additional documentation. If you're willing to research, you will also stumble upon cheap car rentals in Canton that accept cash. However, if you opt for a cash rental, you'll need to put down a significant deposit for your rental car.
  • If you need Canton car rentals at the airport, there are several car rental offices located near the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. For example, Budget is located at 19601 Maplewood Avenue, approximately 1 mile from the airport. The airport offers free shuttle services to travelers who need to access these offices. However, you need to be at least 21 years old and have a valid driving license to rent a car at the airport car rentals. Again, the airport's car rental conditions vary from one agency to another.
  • When driving in Canton, you must be aware of Ohio's BAC laws. The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers who are 21 years of age or older is 0.08%. This means that if you are driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher, you are considered to be driving under the influence (DUI) and can be charged with a DUI offense. If you are 21 or under, the BAC limit is lower, at 0.02%. Most cheap car rentals in Canton will allow you to list an additional driver under the rental agreement. This is a good idea if you plan to drink, as it ensures that you are safe on the road and not likely to be penalized for drunk driving in Canton.
  • You should be careful when driving in the city because some schools, playgrounds, and residential areas are near busy streets. However, most roads, such as Aultman Avenue NW and Tuscarawas Street, have pavement parking and signs to alert drivers of bikers or pedestrians and children crossing to provide safety. Therefore, look for speed limits and other road signs for safe driving.
  • Visitors to Canton should remember a few facts about Canton before taking to the roads. Most of the roads in the city are completely two-way. This means that drivers should always be on the lookout for turning cars and those coming from the opposite direction. Many of the newer roads have been built with roundabouts, giving drivers a great visual marker and simplifying navigating the streets. There are also plenty of intersections and side streets. The important intersections to be aware of include the intersections of Rt. 77 and Whipple Ave. Ask your rental company for a GPS to help you navigate the city.
  • Like other cities, Canton city also experiences traffic. During rush hours, the most affected streets include Cherry Avenue NE, Gibbs Street NE, and 12th Street NE. However, driving in the city during winter is challenging because roads can be slippery or blocked solid. Therefore, if you need car rentals in Canton during winter, ensure to choose a vehicle with winter tires to pass through the slippery roads. Another challenge when driving during winter is a low vision at night because of the snow.
  • Book your car hire in Canton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Canton are around 182% more expensive than other car types, on average

However, pay attention to speed limits when driving on roads with local police to avoid penalties. For example, the speed limit on Southway St.SE between Perry Road & Whipple Extension and Fulton Road N.W. around Lake Cable is 35 mph and on I-77S in front of the Hall of Fame on-ramp is 55 mph.

  • What are the seat belt rules in Canton?

You're required to pay $0.50 within the first 15min, $0.75 every additional 15min up to $5. Rex Avenue Lot is located between 2nd Street NE and Tuscarawas Street E and is free on Saturdays and Sundays and after 4 p.m. daily. Again, it has parking spots for individuals with disabilities.

Couldn’t supply rental at pickup time. Took 4.5 hours to find vehicle at another location and drove there to get it. Truck had 55,000 hard miles and was the most beat up vehicle I’ve ever rented. The only plus about the whole experience is it didn’t break down and got us 450 miles to my destination. That’s about all the positive things I have to say about my experience with Budget.

They didn’t inform me of a $250 deposit so I was left broke for my entire trip. I told the guy it was my first rental. The car smelled like dog. The navigation system I paid extra for didn’t work. The touch screen on the car kept freezing. The speakers crackled and went in and out.

Pros:

Vehicle was cleaned, No wait.

Cons:

Have the vehicle full of gas, let people know there’s a 300 hold fee on top of your rental fee that will be held on your credit card. Went booking on kayak, provide additional insurance information if selected.

Pros:

When I arrived for pick-up, there was a little delay, which is understandable considering there was only one cleaner doing all the cars due to the outbreak. The staff communicated with me throughout the wait to assure me they didn’t forget about me. Afterwards, they gave me a free upgrade to a JAGUAR!!! Will definitely go back to Alamo @ CAK.

Cons:

Hire more staff (if it’s possible in today’s climate)

Pros:

Everything was super easy and the staff were very friendly!

Cons:

I don't think Thrifty could have done anything better other than let me know that there were no gas stations near the airport. It's not their fault that there aren't any nearby but it wasn't something I thought of because normally there are gas stations near the airports I fly in and out of. It was too close to my flight time for me to drive the extra 12 minutes back out of the airport to find a gas station, fill up, and then drive 12 minutes back. Again, I should have thought of it before, but if they would have informed me ahead of time it would have been less of an annoyance.
