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.
  • Compact hire cars in Ferndale are around 47% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Ferndale?

    Those who will mainly be driving around downtown Ferndale or to Detroit will likely want to rent a smaller vehicle, such as an economy car or a sedan. A smaller car will make it easier for you to drive on narrow roads, in traffic, and to park in smaller spaces. If you’re visiting during the winter months or with a group of people, you may want to consider renting a more spacious vehicle. SUVs or vans can be good options, as these vehicles can fit numerous passengers and should still have plenty of room for cargo.

  • What’s the speed limit in Ferndale?

    When you’re driving on an interstate highway in the state of Michigan, you’ll find that the maximum speed limit is 70 mph. Sometimes, it may be reduced on certain stretches, but the majority of interstates permit speeds up to 70 mph. If you’re driving in a residential area, the speed limit is typically 25 mph. When driving near a construction site or in a school zone, the speed limit may be somewhere around 20 to 25 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Ferndale?

    Downtown Ferndale typically has plenty of free street parking for drivers to choose from. There are also several public ground-level parking lots and some multilevel parking garages around the city center. These parking options start at around $1.15 an hour, although parking in them is free on Sundays and recognized holidays. Many businesses also have private parking lots that you can use if you’re shopping in the shopping center or dining at a restaurant. Hotels likewise provide parking lots to guests.

KAYAK
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.
