KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Escanaba

  • Car rentals in Escanaba, Michigan, are a convenient way to travel around this small coastal city. There are public buses available in town, but the routes can be inconvenient and time consuming depending on the location you are trying to reach. Car rentals in Escanaba, therefore, provide much more comfort and flexibility so you can explore the area on your own schedule. You can drive to places like Ludington Park, which is right on the shores of Little Bay de Noc, or the Upper Peninsula State Fair grounds in your Escanaba car rentals.
  • Those flying to Escanaba, MI, will probably be landing at Delta County Airport (ESC) located directly in Escanaba. It is possible to pick up car rentals in Escanaba directly from this airport. You will find Enterprise and National operating at this airport, and their desks are located directly inside the airport terminal near the baggage claim area. The rental cars are parked in the lot adjacent to the terminal building, allowed for a streamlined pickup experience. You will return the car to the same location.
  • Driving car rentals in Escanaba, MI, is pretty easy. The roads are typically in good condition and most of the city’s roads are laid out in a grid formation, allowing for easy navigation in Escanaba car rentals. Drivers are generally kind and courteous and follow the rules of the road, ensuring a safe driving environment. In the more rural areas, roads can become narrow and slightly curvy. You may encounter some gravel or dirt roads near the shoreline.
  • Driving car rentals in Escanaba can be difficult during rush hours, which typically occur between 7 am and 9 am and again from 4 pm to 6 pm on weekdays. You may also encounter heavy traffic during annual events, such as the State Fair. It is recommended to use a GPS device so you can navigate around any traffic jams. Escanaba can also experience severe winter weather, so be prepared for driving in snowy or icy conditions. Always check weather reports and road conditions before setting out in the winter.

FAQs about hiring a car in Escanaba

  • How can I find car hires near me in Escanaba?

    Take a look at our extensive car hire location map to find the best car hire deals near you.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Escanaba, Michigan?

    Escanaba has a lot of narrow streets downtown, so if you plan to spend most of your time in the city, a compact vehicle is recommended. This will make it easier to navigate these roads and find parking for your car. If you plan to do some off-roading or you are visiting during winter, it is smart to rent a car with four-wheel drive, such as an SUV. This type of vehicle will have better traction on snowy surfaces and allow you to explore the area comfortably.

  • What is the speed limit in Escanaba?

    Speed limits in Escanaba vary depending on the type of road and the location. For example, residential areas and urban districts typically have a speed limit between 25 and 35 mph. This is also true for smaller roads near the coastline. If you are on roads outside the city center, you may encounter speed limits of up to 45 mph. On highways like Route 41, the speed limit can be up to 60 mph in certain areas. Always pay attention to posted speed limit signs in case of any changes.

  • Where are the best places to park in Escanaba?

    There is plenty of parking available for car rentals in Escanaba. You will find public parking lots on Bath House Road, Ludington Street, and Loren W Jenkins Memorial Drive, as well as in many other locations. Many of these are free, but occasionally you may have to pay up to $2 per hour for parking. You will also find metered street parking downtown, which charges similar rates. Always check for time limits and parking restrictions to avoid any issues with the authorities.

Rental counter and friendly staff were across from baggage pickup at this small airport in Escanaba, MI. The car was about 50 yards away in the lot. I was OK with the Camry though I'd rented a compact SUV. Return was even easier -- staff met me in the parking lot and took it from there.
