KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Grand Haven

  • Grand Haven is home to several exciting sites, with Grand Haven State Park being one of the most visited places. With a car rental, you can easily reach this beautiful park, known for its sandy beaches, picturesque views of Lake Michigan, and recreational activities like swimming and picnicking. Another attraction is the Grand Haven High School Stadium, which hosts various sporting events. Car rentals in Grand Haven offer the advantage of convenience, allowing you to explore these attractions and the surrounding areas at your own pace and without relying on public transportation.
  • One of the best places to book Grand Haven car rentals is at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE). At this airport, car rentals are conveniently located at the Rental Car Center (RCC), which is situated just a short distance from the main terminal buildings. The Rental Car Center is accessible from the baggage claim area of the terminal. To reach the RCC, follow the signs directing you to the lower level or ground transportation. Once at the RCC, you'll find the rental car counters on the ground floor, making it easily accessible for travelers arriving at MKE.
  • The driving style in Grand Haven, MI, is generally considered safe and law-abiding. Most drivers in the area obey traffic laws and practice defensive driving. When driving with kids, it's important to remember Michigan's car seat laws. Children under the age of 4 must be secured in a child restraint system, and children aged 4 to 8 must be in a booster seat. It's crucial to follow these guidelines and ensure children are properly secured in appropriate car seats or booster seats based on their age, weight, and height to prioritize their safety. You can get these child seats from any of the car rentals in Grand Haven at a small daily fee.
  • When using car rentals in Grand Haven, there are a few difficulties you may encounter. Rush hours, typically occurring from 7:30 am to 9 am and 4:30 pm to 6 pm on weekdays, can result in heavy traffic congestion. During these times, you may experience delays on main roads such as US-31 and Beacon Boulevard. Additionally, parking availability can be limited in popular areas, especially during peak tourist seasons. It's advisable to plan your travels accordingly, allowing extra time for potential traffic and exploring alternative routes to avoid heavily congested roads.

Cons:

Everything was good. Ease of pick up and drop off, van was clean for the most part but when we removed the back there was good and trash in all the mount channels. Was a non smoking rental and had a good smell no hint of smoke or anything else.

Cons:

We rented our car, and once I got up to speed the car started to rumble, like it was terribly out of balance. I had a reservation in Chicago and was already a half an hour away from our pickup location. At that point we decided to try to find a possible replacement but all locations in the area were closed. We tried to call our pickup location to report our issue to make sure they knew about it and no one answered. The rear view mirror also wiggled a lot while driving, we had to stick a napkin in it to hold it still. The outside of the car was filthy and there were coffee cups left in the back seat from the renter before us. A very unpleasant experience. Glad it’s over. The receptionist was understanding when we brought it back, very thankful for that.
