KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Midland

  • There are several benefits of using car rentals in Midland over public transport. With car rentals, you will not have any route or schedule limitations. Therefore, you will have better sightseeing opportunities, including conveniently stopping at scenic viewpoints and roadside attractions. You will also save time since you can choose the most direct routes when visiting multiple places. Some of the beautiful places in Midland cannot be accessed using public transport as they are in remote locations. Rental cars allow you to explore these places and get a personalized travel experience. Midland car rentals will enable you to visit several attraction areas, including Dow Gardens, Alden Dow Home and Studio, and the Tridge.
  • You’ll fly into Bay City MBS International Airport (MBS) when visiting Midland. MBS has several car rental agencies with counters at the rental car center located in the Arrivals Hall of the main terminal near the baggage claim section. Upon completion of your car rental file, an employee of the car rental agency of your choice will escort you to the rental car pick-up station located a short distance from their office. You must present a driver’s license, valid throughout the rental period, a credit or debit card, and a photo ID. You should be at least 18 years old, although a surcharge for drivers below 25 years may be added.
  • When using car rentals in Midland, you should follow the courteous driving culture of the area by essentially using turn signals, yielding to pedestrians when crossing, and yielding to merging vehicles. The city expects all occupants in a car to adhere to seat belt usage. The city also has a zero-tolerance policy for drunk driving. Additionally, it emphasizes distracted driving awareness, including using mobile phones while driving. You must respect traffic laws in the city, including obeying stop signs, traffic signals, and speed limits.
  • Using car rentals in Midland can be incredibly challenging during rush hour, typically during morning hours from 6:30 am to 8:30 am and evening hours from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Major roads in Midland frequently affected by heavy traffic during rush hours include Dublin Avenue, Eastman Avenue, Wackerly Street, and Isabella Street. Instead, consider using alternative roads such as Waldo Avenue, St. Andrew, and Swede Avenue to avoid heavy traffic during these rush hour times. Additionally, Midland experiences harsh winters, resulting in driving challenges due to reduced visibility and traction.
  • Book your car hire in Midland at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

Pickup was fast, nobody was at the desk for drop off.

Cons:

I reserved a large SUV (Tahoe) and got a medium sized SUV (Traverse), was not compensated for the smaller vehicle and had an uncomfortable trip. The “oil change” warning came on right away so I worried about the vehicle maintenance during my entire 11 day trip which was stressful. The vehicle was dirty and smelled like cigarettes. I don’t think I’ll rent from enterprise in the future.

The great part of this is the size of the Saginaw/Midland/Bay City Airport. The car rental counters are on the right side of the small terminal building as you're on your way out, and the cars are just outside the door there. Pick up and drop-off could not have been easier. The man attending the Hertz/Dollar counter was helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Car cleanliness. Had not been vacuumed or anything. Stains on the seats. Payment was strange and had to wait for the Hertz staff member to get phone approval for the charge from the Hertz rental's bank. It was strange and I was nervous about why it happened for such a small charge.

Pros:

People at the Hertz Counter at MBS airport were fantastic

Cons:

the car had mechanical issues with the tires and traction. the worst thing was the smells in the car, the car had a smoker in it previous to my rental, cigar and weed smoker and the car reeked of those smells. In addition to that the rental location has overdosed the car with liquid air freshener in an attempt to cover up the smoke. It overwhelmed my sinuses and I was unable to exchange the car it was horrible
