However, some intersections, like Main Street and Auburn Road, Adams Road, University Drive, Walton Boulevard, and Squirrel Road, can be challenging due complex lane configurations.

    When it comes to driving in Auburn Hills, the recommended car type depends on various factors. If you are traveling alone and carrying limited luggage, an economy car would be a practical choice. These vehicles are fuel-efficient and well-suited for navigating city streets. However, if you are traveling with a large group or have a lot of luggage, opting for a larger minivan would provide more space for everyone and their belongings. For those planning to explore the scenic surroundings of Auburn Hills, such as nearby parks or lakes, renting an SUV or an All-Wheel Drive vehicle (4WD) is advisable. SUVs and 4WD vehicles offer higher ground clearance, providing better stability and handling on rough terrains.

    Speed limits in Auburn Hills can vary depending on the type of road and the specific area. On major four-lane highways like I-75 and M-59, the speed limit is typically around 70-75 mph. However, it's crucial to exercise caution near tollgates, as speed limits may be reduced in those areas for safety reasons. On two-lane highways, such as Walton Boulevard and Adams Road, the speed limit is generally set at 55 mph. Within the city center and residential areas, the speed limit typically drops to 25-30 mph to ensure the safety of pedestrians and residents.

  • Where are the best places to park in Auburn Hills?

    In Auburn Hills, the best parking options are found in the city center. Street parking rates are around $1 to $2 per hour, with a maximum time limit of 2 to 4 hours. For extended parking, popular garages like "Downtown Parking Garage" on Main Street charge approximately $5 to $10 per day. These garages offer secure and covered parking, making them ideal for extended visits while exploring attractions like the Walter P Chrysler Museum or attending events at the Great Lakes Crossing Outlets.

The experience is the best I’ve had with a rental car company. In particular, the staff seemed particularly interested in treating me like person, rather than a nameless customer.

I liked nothing. One thing could've been better though...How about having a car available when a customer shows up with a reservation and a confirmation number. Yeah..that part could've been better for sure.

Pros:

Car was clean from pickup location.

Cons:

Customer service was extremely poor. Unfriendly people on the phone. No employee empowerment. No help during these difficult times. No chance I’ll use them again.

We had to leave town so we couldn't keep our rental. The Waterford location was closed at 1 pm and we got there maybe 2 minutes later. On a Saturday. On Waterford Budget's website it said there was no after hours drop box for the keys and that you had to do it in person. We couldn't just leave the rental in the driveway of our house because we would be responsible if anything happened to the car. We drove all the way to Flint at the airport since that was the only location other than Detroit airport still open after 1 pm on a Saturday. We get there and they tell me I should wait to return it to the Waterford location, and I tell them I can't because we are leaving town. They had me call customer service and I couldn't even understand the guy I got on the phone. I don't know what kind of accent it was but it was almost impossible to understand him. I have never had a huge problem understanding another accent but this was ridiculous. I explained over and over that we had to leave town unexpectedly and couldn't use the rental anymore. I asked if the fee could be waived ($300 if you don't return it to the same location) because Waterford was closed and I wasn't able to just drop the keys off there. He told me over and over that I'd be charged $300, and didn't understand me asking if it could be waived. After asking the fourth time I gave up. I went to the counter and they told me that's ridiculous and that customer service waives it for other people often. So ticked off, we just returned the car and paid the astronomical bill. So much for being called Budget. Nothing budget about the price we had to pay because our location closed at 1 pm on a Saturday. Never using Budget or Avis again. I'd look at any other rental company if I were anyone else. Not recommended at all.

Easy pickup and drop off. Very friendly staff. The car was cleaned with some kind of cleaner on the inside and not wiped dry so it dried very spotty and made the car seem dirty.

The price and vehicle were great. They would not take a debit card or cash. They were only willing to accept a major credit card. I don't use credit cards. How am I supposed to even rent a car?
