KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Plymouth

  • One of the major advantages of renting cheap car rentals in Plymouth is the flexibility and independence it offers. The city is spread out and has limited public transportation options, making it difficult to access some of the popular attractions without a car. Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore the city at your own pace and visit attractions that may not be easily accessible by public transport. The city features several parks and natural reserves that are best explored via Plymouth car rentals. For instance, the Plymouth Orchards & Cider Mill is a popular destination for families with children. You can also access cities such as Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Lansing.
  • Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is located in Romulus, about 23 miles east of Plymouth. The rental car offices at DTW are located in the consolidated rental car facility, which can be accessed from the terminals via a shuttle. The shuttle pick-up location is outside the baggage claim area on the lower level of each terminal. Flint Bishop Airport (FNT) is located in Flint, about 46 miles north of Plymouth. The rental car offices at FNT are located on the ground transportation level of the airport terminal.
  • Driving in Plymouth is relatively stress-free, and the roads are well-maintained. However, there are some unique rules and signage that drivers need to be aware of to ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience. One of the most important things for drivers to know is that Michigan law requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of room when passing them on the road. This rule is essential for ensuring the safety and protection of cyclists on the road. Another important rule is that all drivers are required to have automobile insurance, which is mandatory under Michigan state law. Therefore, you should always carry proof of insurance with you while driving car rentals in Plymouth.
  • Rush hour traffic in Plymouth typically occurs in the morning between 7:00 am to 9:00 am and evening between 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, with heavier congestion on highways like the I-275 and I-96. These busy routes can also have higher accident rates. Winter weather can also be a challenge for drivers in Plymouth, as snow and ice can make roads slippery and reduce visibility. Additionally, spring and summer months may bring heavy rain and flooding, which can also make it difficult to drive cheap car rentals in Plymouth. Certain areas may also have muddy zones or roads due to construction or rural conditions.
  • Compact hire cars in Plymouth are around 71% cheaper than other car types, on average

Not much, car was not washed and dirty inside. Gave me an electric vehicle, with knowledge that I was in a small town without a charging station. This was an absolutely TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH HERTZ IN PLYMOUTH MICHIGAN!

Bad. No cars available. Had a lot of trouble finding a car at the price advertised. $60 or above. If not, they would say they don’t have cars

The hertz location didn’t actually have the car I reserved when I got there for my scheduled pick up. I will say the location was extremely busy on the day I picked up, but I did spend 3 hours there before I was given a car. They did end up “upgrading” me to a bigger car, but mostly because I had just been sitting there so long and they still didn’t have the size car I reserved. I like that they gave me an upgrade for free in the end. I could tell they were struggling to keep up with all the problems they were running into that day and they were still nice and kept their cool. I think the communication between hertz and the third party apps needs to be better to ensure the location actually has the cars someone is reserving.
