KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Shaker Heights

  • Using car rentals in Shaker Heights offers several benefits over relying on public transport. Rental cars are more convenient and cost-effective when traveling in groups or with family since you avoid purchasing multiple public transport tickets, and you get to choose your seating arrangement. Additionally, you can have intimate and private conversations while driving without worrying about strangers eavesdropping on your discussion, which cannot be said about public transport. With Shaker Heights car rentals, you can visit several destinations including Loganberry Books, Chagrin Water Falls, and the Shaker Historical Society and Museum.
  • When traveling to Shaker Heights, you will likely fly into Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) or Akron-Canton Regional Airport (CAK). Car rental agencies at CLE have their centers located off site. Upon deplaning, exit the main terminal at Door 7 to find the shuttles that will transport you to the car rental centers. CAK has its car rental agencies on site, with counters conveniently located at the baggage claim area within the main terminal. To rent a car at these airports, you must be at least 25 years old.

  • Using car rentals in Shaker Heights requires you to adhere to their polite driving culture, including allowing merging vehicles and using turn signals. You must respect their traffic laws, including their stop signs. It is common to encounter curving and narrow roads in Shaker Heights due to the land’s natural contour. The town is bike-friendly.

Great experience. Ron, who’s been with Avis for 40 years, checked out the car to me, and his son Braden checked me back in. Both were consummate professionals and very personable.

This was the easiest and quickest pick up I’ve ever experienced. Craig Eubanks made sure I understood what I was signing when picking up the rental and ensured I was comfortable with the vehicle offered. When returning, Craig made sure the experience was great and offered to make the experience better if it was not what I expected. Great customer service. I will return again.

I thought I was picking up at the airport location but it turns out it was about 30 mins away. Seems like it would be a simple fix but I was told that because I booked through a third-party that Hertz couldn't do anything. Also, the vehicle had a strong smoke odor on the interior...not cool when you're traveling with family and small children.

The location closed before we could pick up the rental. We were not notified. We were not compensated. We had to pay for travel for that evening.
