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.
  • Book your car hire in Grand Haven at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

Staff rushed me. Asked me for my card, and ran it without telling me the total, which was much more than what I was told it would be on online.

Cons:

Our car was about 1000 miles over of needing an oil change, before the miles we put on it. No washer fluid. Pretty clean though

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.

Pros:

The "Staff" - one person - was friendly the first time through the line. Under a lot of pressure. other employee quit without notice. Long lines all day. Was not able to process my debit card. I called my bank. Made certain everything was in order. Waited through the long line again. She was still not able to process the debit card. I think because she had low level equipment - no chip capability - Then she got "snarky". I was not able to rent the car that had been reserved for me. I felt stranded in a strange town. I had to impose on my elderly cousin to drive me 125 miles to catch another ride.

Cons:

Provide more up to date processing equipment. I was not the only person having serious issues that day because of antiquated communications equipment.

The employee was not at the desk. The doors were wide open. When she finally showed up, while checking me out she takes a personal call. When I finally check the car out I went & look at it & it was dirty. Inside & out. She said she would take money off if I get it washed. When I drop it off on Tuesday they were closed. Also I drop it off two days early, she said when I do return it early I will get those days money back. So far I have not seen that money taken off.

The car was not cleaned upon pick up , on the interior or exterior . There were crumbs and dirt e everywhere . We found a week old take out box of moldy chicken Alfredo under the set when it started to smell . Customer service at the counter was very poor upon pick up . The employees were very unprofessional and were hold other conversations about their plans outside Off work while trying to get me on my way . None of the bill was explained - usually they are very thorough and go over every detail with you , they did not hear . They did not tell me where the car was they told me to just go outside and hit the panic button to find it . Drop off was equally as unpleasant .
