Top tips for renting a car at Ann Arbor airport

  • If you are flying into the airport, a car rental at Ann Arbor Airport (ARB) can be a cost-effective way to get to your destination. It will give you more flexibility in your travel plans. If you want to explore the area beyond the city, a rental car can give you the freedom to do so. A rental car is a better alternative than ridesharing because you can choose your own vehicle. With ridesharing, you are at the mercy of whatever vehicle is available.
  • There are five Ann Arbor Airport car rental agencies located right inside the airport. The most popular ones are National and Enterprise. Other car rental companies include Hertz, Budget, and Alamo. They are located within the terminal; just follow the signs of your preferred car rental agency and walk there to pick up the car. You will need to have made reservations, so present the booking slip with the required documentation to be handed the car keys.
  • When returning a rental car to the Ann Arbor Airport, be sure to return your car at least 30 minutes before your flight so as to allow time to drop off your keys. Also, you may request your rental agency to return the car to a different location. This is commonly known as one way car rental and this request should be made early while making the reservation. You're required to indicate your preferred drop off point, which may come at an additional fee.  Also, the after hour return policy indicates that you return the car to the agency's parking lot and drop the key in the designated box. Then the car rental receipt will be emailed to you the following day.
  • The Ann Arbor Airport is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, certain times of the day or week may be more difficult to pick up or drop off a rental car. The airport is usually busiest during the summer months and during the Christmas and New Year's holiday seasons. It is advisable to book your reservation in advance and allow extra time to account for any possible delays.
  • Book your rental car at Ann Arbor airport at least 8 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The line for both pickup and dropoff was REALLY long. Once I did get to talk to someone the staff bent over backwards to make the experience smooth.

First of all I rented a Pacifica but ended up with an Odyssey That wasn’t a smooth ride at all. I felt like I could’ve been accommodated. There was a file order in the car and it wasn’t completely completely cleaned. Whoever cleaned the car did not do a good job at all.

This Hertz franchise closes at 4 p.m on weekdays. My reservation was made for 4p. You can imagine my surprise when arriving at 410p and finding that they were closed!

Are you kidding me? Renting car weeks in advance only to be told on departure day there are no vehicles available anywhere in our metro area? This is unconscionable and should frankly be illegal as they are renting cars that don’t exist. Some executives are getting bonuses while their front line employees and customers are treated like garbage. Buyer beware!
