KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Southfield

  • Hiring Southfield car rentals provide you with various traveling benefits. First, rental cars offer affordable traveling options. They offer the freedom and flexibility to travel to various locations in Southfield, saving the hassle of catching public transport schedules, luggage fees, and cramped spaces. In addition, car rentals in Southfield are reliable, so you won't have to worry about non-operational days. With a car rental, you can comfortably and conveniently travel to the city's top sights like Bauervic Wood Park, Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve, Arctic Ring of Life Polar Bear, and Sea Otter.
  • When flying to Southfield, you will arrive via a flight at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County airport. The airport lies 20 miles from the city center. Even though the airport does not have car rental companies on-site, you can find a car rental center on the premises. A free shuttle bus provides rides to the rental car. You can find shuttle stops near the McNamara Terminal at the Ground Transportation Center. The car rental center has over ten agencies offering a massive fleet of cars. We recommend making prior schedules before arrivals for easy pick-up.
  • It is important to consider the driving laws for safe navigation of car rentals in Southfield. All drivers and passengers in the car's front seat must have seatbelts. All passengers under 16 in the car must have seat belts. When traveling with children under eight, they must be in booster seats. Children under four must sit in the back seat of the cars. Also, we recommend following the 3-4 second rule to allow space between you and the cars in front and behind you. More space may be required during adverse weather conditions. Texting when driving is prohibited. Always use headlights during heavy rains, fog, or snow. Always yield to pedestrians, cyclists, and service vehicles like road maintenance cars.
  • Rush hour can get hectic in Southfield. The rush hour typically occurs between 7 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 6 pm. Avoid driving during these hours if you do not wish to be stuck in traffic for hours. During these hours, avoid driving on Southfield Freeway, Lodge Freeway, Telegraph Road, and Eight Mile Road, as they are the worst traffic hotspots.
  • Book your car hire in Southfield at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Southfield are around 32% cheaper than other car types, on average

Extra trips were made, from hotel to this location, due to the fact that it wasn’t specified that they don’t take debit for a deposit hold, only credit. Also they only have the chip reader for the credit card, we had to make a separate trip because they don’t have tap to touch. What originally was a 9 o’clock pick up ended up to be an 11 AM pick up. They did upgrade us, but the fact of the matter is we had another rental to turn in with a different company and because these specifics of their franchise weren't posted anywhere online, it affected us negatively.

I liked the price of the rental because of a discount. I didn't like that the car was not clean inside and outside. That was a complete turnoff.

We originally wanted a sedan, but we were “upgraded” to an SUV. The car was clean but not great to drive. It felt like we were being pushed around by the wind. There was a very annoying beeping sound whenever you moved even slightly. The screen which we connected our phones too kept switching off so we had to keep adding the destination to google maps.
