KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Romulus

  • Romulus car rentals are a great way to explore this town in Michigan and everything it has to offer. There is public transportation available in the form of buses, but these buses are few and far between and can take a long time to reach their destinations. With car rentals in Romulus, Michigan, you will not have to spend time waiting for the bus; you can just hop into your vehicle and hit the road to explore the area on your own schedule and via your own chosen routes. For example, you could take a trip into Detroit and drive north to Lake St. Clair.
  • If you are arriving in Romulus by plane, you will likely be landing at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). There are several car rental agencies operating out of DTW, so you will have plenty of options to choose from upon arrival. There are desks for companies such as Alamo, Hertz, Enterprise, Dollar, and more at the rental car center at the airport. After you claim your luggage, follow the signs for Ground Transportation. You will need to board a free shuttle to reach the rental car center. You will find the shuttle bus pickup points in the Ground Transportation Centers of the parking garages near the McNamara Terminal and on the Big Blue Deck of the Evans Terminal.
  • Romulus, Michigan, is a suburb of Detroit. The roads here are in good condition, although you may encounter the occasional pothole. Motorists generally respect the rules of the road here so you should not have a hard time navigating this area in car rentals in Romulus. However, always drive attentively and be aware of your surroundings. In the winter, heavy snow is common and could hinder driving abilities.
  • Being in between the cities of Detroit and Ann Arbor, Romulus sees heavy rush-hour traffic in the mornings and evenings on weekdays when residents are commuting to and from work in these cities. It’s best to avoid I-94 and I-275 in the morning between 7 am and 9 am and again in the evening between 4 pm and 6 pm.
  • Compact hire cars in Romulus are around 53% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Romulus?

    As Romulus, Michigan, is easy to navigate, you do not need to worry too much about the type of car rentals in Romulus you are looking to obtain. However, if you plan to drive to either Ann Arbor or Detroit, it might be easier to rent a compact vehicle. This is because you will have an easier time navigating congested traffic conditions on city streets and you will have more parking options for a compact vehicle. It may also be wise to rent a car with a four-wheel drive, especially if you are visiting during winter.

  • What’s the speed limit in Romulus?

    Speed limits in Romulus vary based on the type of road. For example, roads in the downtown area or near the airport typically have a speed limit of either 35 mph or 45 mph. Highways in the area usually have a maximum speed limit of 70 mph. Always pay attention to the posted signage to drive safely and avoid issues with traffic officers.

  • Where are the best places to park in Romulus?

    There are plenty of public parking lots and garages for you to choose from when looking for a place to park car rentals in Romulus. One of the most popular is the lot on Middlebelt Road, which is typically a little less than $15 for 2 hours. Parking at the John D. Dingell Transit Center is free for the first 2 hours.

Enterprise refused to rent to me. They would not accept a state-issued temporary driver's license from the state of WI. I was literally turned away at the counter. So, I made a reservation under my wife's name. When she went to pick up the car, she was turned away at the counter because the vehicle had just been rented to someone else, and the desk agent said it was against their policy to allow for same-day, one-way rentals. Going 0 for 2 with Enterprise was exceedingly frustrating. I won't be giving them my business in the future. Also, the fact that Kayak allowed a same-day, one-way rental against the policies of the store was frustrating. A better agreement between Kayak and its vendors should be established. Perhaps Kayak's partners should be obliged to honor agreements made on their behalf through Kayak.

Everything was fine. When I asked to extend the rental from another 18 hours, though, I was told the fee would have been $103. That is excessive.

Booked my rental car on here and budget just show happen it was through budget, a company I usually don’t use.. Arrived at Dtw, found my way to the pick up area with my family and was greeted with; “We don’t have any more cars, it’s going to be a 3-4hr wait. Never happened to me before. It was late, so we caught an Uber to the hotel.

The car was great. The agents were appallingly overworked and cruelly outnumbered. Budget set this poor folks up for failure. I was over 3 hours to get my car in a line that was much worse than any customs line. People were melting down around me. Budget created an unsafe environment for us. I would need a very, very good reason to ever book with budget again. I should have been home by 10 pm after 14 hours of traveling by air. Instead, I didn’t get home until 1 am. Unethical practices of taking advantage of both your agents and customers need to end. This was a horrific experience. I’m sharing the experiences with all friends, family, colleagues, and strangers who will listen. Don’t let this happen to you.

They had one person working and then two...it was over an hour in line which is just ridiculous. The parking lot was dark and NOT marked well so no one could find their cars and there was no one to ask.

Don’t rent from Thrifty at this location if you 1) want the car you paid for and reserved (or similar), have an hour to waste standing in line just to pick up the keys, or have the time to wait for 30 minutes in line just to have your ID checked to leave the parking lot. Staff is rude and just stand around talking. This airport and rental location are a nightmare.

The lady at the Detroit airport pickup office was incredible! She was kind, efficient, and extremely helpful. There was an issue with the first vehicle I picked up. The car smelled like someone had been smoking in the vehicle. That was not acceptable for a week rental. When I went back to the counter and pointed out this problem the person helping me was apologetic and immediately arranged for another vehicle. I would hire this person to work in my office.
