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. You must also present a valid driver’s license and a debit or credit card.
  • 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. You are, therefore, expected to be aware of cyclists sharing the road and give them enough space when driving. Pedestrian safety in this town is also emphasized, and you are expected to yield to crossing pedestrians at designated places, including crosswalks.
  • Using car rentals in Shaker Heights requires you to understand that heavy traffic during morning hours from 7 am to 9 am and evening hours from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm is common. Major roads affected by this traffic congestion in Shaker Heights include Interstate 271, Chagrin Boulevard, and Warrensville Center Road. However, you can avoid the rush hour traffic by using alternative routes including State Route 91, Cedar Road, and Green Road.

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.

Pros:

When I first arrived at the rental counter at Cleveland/Hopkins airport, the clerk informed me my rental had been made at another Cleveland location miles away. When I asked if there was anything she could do to help me she imphaticaly said no. A supervisor happened to be there and came to my rescue. She was wonderful. The first clerk was not going to even try to help or ask the supervisor if anything could be done. To her, the mistake and inconvenience didn't matter. Once the supervisor helped things went well and quick. My return person was great!

Cons:

Perhaps train clerks in regards to customer service. They appear to have NO desire to help solve problems. Thank goodness for a competent supervisor!

Pros:

Car rental was set for 6:00-- I arrived to the lot at 6:02 as a function of traffic and work. No-one was there to be found as they had closed at 6:00 on the dot which is interesting since this was my pickup time (how can you close at 6 and also rent a car at 6?). Anyways, I called "customer no service" who refused to help me in any fashion. They would not find me a comparable truck anywhere nearby without significant fees. The best they could offer was to replace my $298 rental for a >$600 rental, which is in no way comparable. Needless to say, I ate the loss and rented a car with enterprise. I will never use Hertz or this location again and I'd advise you do the same.
