KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Niles

  • If you plan to visit Michigan, you are better off with car rentals in Niles to help you adventure the city and the surrounding areas. Although Niles has public transportation, it typically gets noisy and rowdy, making it uncomfortable and inconvenient. Still, public transit takes a while to arrive at your destination. The top attractions you can drive to with your Niles car rentals include Van Buren State Park, Wonderland Cinema, and Third Coast Paddling-Pawpaw Rive. Outside the city, you can drive to South Haven City and explore several locations, such as North Beach, Van Buren State Park, Michigan Maritime Museum, South Haven Lighthouses, and Kal Haven Trail.
  • If you are flying into Niles, you will likely land at South Bend/Michiana Airport (SBN), the nearest airport, about 11 miles from the city center. Several car rental providers operate their desks at the airport Arrivals hall, in the baggage claim area. The popular car rental agencies at the airport include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Alamo, Dollar, Sunnycars, Easirent, and National. Finding your car rentals in Niles at the airport allows you to start your adventure immediately after landing.
  • Generally, driving your car rentals in Niles is easy and fun because of the well-tarmacked and marked roads. The drivers are patient and adhere to the traffic regulations strictly. They drive on the right and overtake on the left in Michigan. Be sure to abide by all the traffic regulations to avoid trouble with authority. Since the city has a zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving, you should not have alcohol in your system when driving your car rentals in Niles. Also, drive carefully, especially when approaching populated areas and roundabouts.
  • Like other cities in Michigan, Nice experiences significant road congestion during peak travel times. Usually, the rush hours begin from 6 am to 10 am and from 4 pm to 6 pm. Rush hours are typically occasioned by brimming vehicles on the streets and city roads as residents go and come from their respective secular employment places. Planning your route well is crucial to avoid bumping into traffic snarl-ups. Commuter zones and narrow streets are worth avoiding, as they experience extreme traffic delays.
  • Book your car hire in Niles at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

  • Where are the best places to park in Niles?

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Niles, Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Quality Inn & Suite Niles, and Hampton Inn Niles offer free parking lots if you stay on their property. But if you prefer garage or metered parking with your Niles car rentals, consider looking for parking spots in downtown Niles to stay within the city's critical areas. Fees are around $2 per hour.

Pros:

Yes, staff was friendly.

Cons:

It was the customer service when trying to call South Bend I was always routed to corporate. No one was at the Enterprise desk in South Bend so no one walked around the car with me. A supervisor on the phone used a phone and/or had a soft spoken voice. I could not hear him.

Pros:

Staff was friendly and efficient. I was in and out quickly. Great experience.

Cons:

Only odd thing about renting in South Bend is there are no assigned spots. You everyone is walking around the lot hitting their car lock fob listening for the noise. It was actually kind of comical. But if the weather was bad or you were in a big hurry I could see how it would be irritating.

Pros:

Drop off in Downtown Falmouth MA. was great, Attendant was helpful and friendly. Pick up in South Bend IN. Airport went well even though I forgot who was supplying the car and the Kayak email confirm was on my PC , not my phone, they found me, I got the car.

Cons:

The Ford Fusion hybrid has a weird feature where the engine turns off when you stop at a light or drive-through. This feature can be turned off by a button on the dashboard.

Customer service was terrible. My appointment was for 4pm, no one was in the office till 420pm. It was dirty when we picked it up. It wasn’t what we wanted. Very dissatisfied with the whole thing. I’ll never use Avis again.

Customer service wasn’t so impressive. They don’t seem to have a good system of handing off calls made to the local rental desk when nobody’s there to cover the location. It gets sent off to a distant call center where they don’t have access to all the info. Their explanation: we use two different systems. Yeah, well that’s very uninteresting to the customer. Maybe you should use one system and stop the excuses. Also, include taxes and fees in your initial quote. Also, be more clear about how electronic tolls work. I’m waiting to be hit with all kinds of hidden charges, and the toll highways around chicago don’t allow cash payments.

When we arrived we were told there was only one clean vehicle available (Toyota Tacoma) and if we wanted anything else it would be dirty. Other than that no real problem in south bend. When I tried to drop it off in Chicago the address given to me was just a hotel (Hotel Loews) and they were unable to accept the car. Apparently they're listed as an Avis location because their guests can reserve a car at the front desk. Instead I found an overnight garage and picked a new Avis location in the morning. Hotel Loews should never have been listed as a drop-off location if they don't accept drop-offs.

Ease and efficiency at rental counter. Will use Avis again. Increase Number of Avis spots in parking lot. When returning vehicle I had to park in a National spot as all the Avis spots were taken.

I wasn't given any receipt at pickup . Told I would get at return. When I returned car, I stood in line for about 10 min. Then was told it would be emailed to me. It's been 24 hrs. and I still haven't seen a receipt. I have no idea how much I was charged.. I had requested an economy car, but was upgraded to Jeep . That was a pleasant surprise.

Pros:

Staff was great friendly, helpful, I really liked the minivan, It was my first time driving that make and model car and I decided that I may just go bye me one.

Cons:

The instructions of use for the plate pass could of been explained, it's a metal box that is stuck on the windshield. I did.have to travel on the Indiana -Illinois toll way and did not know that the box contained a ez pass. So electronically the box was being picked up and I was pulling over to pay cash Lol. 3 days later I figured out what the metal thing on the windshield was. The staff did compensate me for my trouble with the platepass, and I was very pleased with the way they handled it.

Pros:

I always rent thru Dollar Rental when I go on trips because never once have I had unexpected charges or issues. Every time I get a great deal and it costs exactly what they said it would cost. I can't even tell you how much it is appreciated!

Cons:

There was an after hours key drop that was a little confusing because there was a sign that said charges continue to accrue until the rental place opens again. Fortunately that did not happen and I was charged only for the amount of the rental after dropping the keys off on time.
