KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Woodhaven

  • Driving car rentals in Woodhaven is a convenient and enjoyable way to get around this city at the southern tip of the Detroit metropolitan area and just west of the Canadian border. In Woodhaven car rentals, you can save time compared to using public transportation and you can get to where you need to be on your own timetable. In car rentals in Woodhaven, you can enjoy local sites, such as the Marshlands Museum and Nature Center, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and Historic Fort Wayne. Woodhaven car rentals give you the freedom to drive south to Toledo, north to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and east to Toronto.
  • Situated less than 15 miles northwest of Woodhaven, the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is an easy and convenient place to secure Woodhaven car rentals. Follow the signs to Ground Transportation, where you can catch a free shuttle to the Rental Car Campus. You can catch this shuttle from either the McNamara or the Evans terminal. After you return your car to the lot where you got it, you can catch the complimentary shuttle back to your DTW terminal.
  • For anyone driving car rentals in and around Woodhaven, be advised that people in the Detroit metropolitan area tend to drive very fast. Interstate traffic traveling at 85 mph is not uncommon. If you are in the left lane going the speed limit, drivers will be honking and waving at you because you are going too slow and should get out of the lane. Drivers in Woodhaven also tend to drive through a yellow light. Therefore, if you are the first car at a light, wait a few seconds before you go when it turns green, since a car will probably be turning left in front of you through the yellow light.
  • In Woodhaven and the surrounding Detroit metropolitan area, rush hour is from 6 am to 10 am and then from 3 pm to 7 pm on weekdays. Friday's traffic is particularly congested. If you are driving car rentals in Woodhaven, consider investing in a GPS add-on in order to help you navigate around the worst traffic. From November to April in Detroit, be prepared for harsh winter weather, including snow, ice, very cold temperatures, and freezing winds. Always clear your car of snow, ice, and frost before driving it, stick to plowed roads, and if you skid on ice, steer into to the skid until you regain control of your car.
  • Mini hire cars in Woodhaven are around 52% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

    Because of the harsh winter weather, Woodhaven roads often suffer damage. For this reason, whether it is winter when you will be driving through harsh weather or warmer weather when you will be driving on damaged roads, an SUV makes an ideal choice for those driving car rentals in Woodhaven. In the winter, an SUV offers traction and power for the snow. In the warmer months, it provides an easier ride over roads with cracks and potholes. If you are uncomfortable driving a larger vehicle, consider renting a smaller SUV; many small SUVs are not much bigger than a station wagon.

  • What's the speed limit in Woodhaven?

    I-75 running north/south virtually through the middle of Woodhaven has a 70 mph speed limit, as do other nearby Interstates, including I-94, I-275, and I-96. However, if you encounter a work zone on one of these interstates, the speed limit is reduced to 45 mph. Fort Street, a major road running to the east of Woodhaven, has a 55 mph speed limit. Residential areas, school zones, and business districts in Woodhaven have 25 mph speed limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Woodhaven?

    In the winter, Woodhaven declares a Snow Emergency if there are three or more inches of snow on the ground, and therefore, no cars may be parked on the street. In Woodhaven, parking is usually free on residential streets, though check signs for time limits. Most retail businesses have their own parking lots with free parking for patrons and visitors. If you travel into downtown Detroit, parking meters are around $1 per hour from 7 am to 10 pm, usually with a 2-hour time limit.

The car ran poorly. It had over 53K miles and accelerated poorly and was sluggish. We were unable to swap it out because we were under tight time constraints and in different cities. The fuel economy was decent, but the car struggled to go over 60mph as needed on I-94.
