KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ferndale

  • As the city doesn't have a particularly large public-transportation system, car rentals in Ferndale are definitely one of the best ways to get around the area. By having access to Ferndale car rentals, you won’t have to worry about long waiting times for the bus or being unable to go to places where there's no bus stop. You'll also be able to go to locations that are farther from the city center, like the Boston Tea Room and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
  • If you'll be traveling to the area via plane, you can always pick up car rentals in Ferndale from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). To get to the car-rental center, you can simply follow the signs to the Ground Transportation area, and then board a courtesy shuttle bus to take you to the rental-car location. To return car rentals in Ferndale, you will bring them back to the same place where you rented them. There are several rental companies that are located at the DTW airport location, including Alamo, Budget, and Enterprise.
  • Ferndale is a relatively small town, so driving in the city is usually an easy task. When you're driving in downtown Ferndale or in nearby downtown Detroit, you will likely come across some jaywalkers and cyclists. It's best to always be on the lookout for these people; by driving watchfully, you'll avoid trouble.
  • If you’re driving towards Detroit, you’ll want to make sure that you avoid driving on the road during rush hour. You’ll find that rush hour usually goes from about 6 am to 10 am, and in the afternoon from 3 to around 7 pm. During the spring and winter months, the region will typically have quite a bit of rain and snow. You should always drive slower in these weather conditions and make sure that your rental car is properly supplied with snow chains on the tires if you think you’ll encounter snow when you’re in Ferndale.
  • Small hire cars in Ferndale are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average

Extra trips were made, from hotel to this location, due to the fact that it wasn’t specified that they don’t take debit for a deposit hold, only credit. Also they only have the chip reader for the credit card, we had to make a separate trip because they don’t have tap to touch. What originally was a 9 o’clock pick up ended up to be an 11 AM pick up. They did upgrade us, but the fact of the matter is we had another rental to turn in with a different company and because these specifics of their franchise weren't posted anywhere online, it affected us negatively.
