Plan for extra fees to be included when you go to pick up the vehicle you Reserve. Also plan for them to jack up the prices if anything is going on special in the city.

Book at least a month in advance or it gets VERY expensive.

It’s good driving in Cleveland. Recommend using wazes or Google maps as Apple Maps isn’t as reliable. Parking in downtown Cleveland and the suburbs can be tricky, so give yourself extra time for that.
Verified travelerSept 2023
Go to Enterprise in Lakewood. Don't try and rent a car in downtown Cleveland or from the airport.
AshokJul 2023
liked it extra time in returning should be on hourly basis
MelanieJul 2023
It takes a bit of time ride the free shuttle back and forth from the rental car facility to the airport terminal. Prepare for at least 15 minutes extra travel time.
MichaelJul 2023
Pick up and drop off a little far from the terminal. Give yourself extra time.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cleveland

  • Cleveland is a fantastic working class American city, steeped in history and with a gritty authentic atmosphere. What lies beyond the downtown district, however, is truly magical: Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio’s Amish countryside, and the Cedar Point Amusement Park all lie within a short drive of Cleveland, making renting a car during your stay a fantastic idea. If you’re a cheese lover, make sure you also make the drive out to Heini’s Cheese Chalet in Millersburg and Broad Run Cheese & Swiss Heritage Winery in Sugarcreek, both located a little over an hour south of the downtown district.
  • Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is located 9 miles away from the center of town, and the drive will only take about 20 minutes. Explore the best available deals using KAYAK, with major rental companies such as Alamo, Enterprise, Avis, and Budget to choose from. The car rental facility at the airport is easily accessed via a free shuttle, which leaves regularly from the door outside Baggage Claim 7.
  • Some major highways in the state of Ohio operate as tollways, so it is best to familiarize yourself with which ones you drive on and the specific conditions of your rental agreement. The I-90, I-80, and I-76 Highways come together to make the Ohio Turnpike, a major tollway that connects Cleveland with Toledo to the west and Pittsburgh to the east.
  • Northeast Ohio is renowned for its snowfall, experiencing the heaviest months of downfall between December and March. During this period, it is particularly important to tune in to local weather reports and apply extra caution while driving on icy roads. The primary rule for snow driving is to provide additional space to the car in front of you, as braking distances increase due to icy roads.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Cleveland for ₹ 4,623 or less
  • Medium rental cars in Cleveland are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average

    Park your car at North Point Garage on East 9th street if you would like visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or downtown district, where a flat rate of $10 is charged on weekends or $7 on weeknights.

The car that I was given was dirty and Ws nit to my standard. Not only was it dirty but also was using more gasoline than anticipated. It drove like n old vehicle I tried to change at the airport location since the downtown had close early. Thrvtrest ent I experir ce was horrible from an agent and Lala. She was unprofessional told me I had to wait.30 minutes. An hour sent by and she refuse to give me service. She kept bfudhing me off told me I was not platinum and get seek g everyone but ne. There are 2 other agrnts they told me I had to see her but she refuse to give md service. After back and forth another agent sas me and gave the exchange. It took over 2 hours to exchange a csr with no long line. This ssx a terrible experienceand I don't hnink I will ever rent from Hertz agsin . Just because I was not platinum I cold not get service? I had hold ststid which ghry claim hsd expired. So now we don't see individuals as customers? All shod be treated with dignity and respect. The Maplewood Cleveland airport was beyond horrible. The downtown location wss where I was given dirty old car.

While I called Budget the day before pickup to make sure a car would be waiting since I was on a tight schedule, and was assured a car would be ready by 8am, when I got there not only was there no car but I was told there is no guarantee there would be a car at anytime that day. Nor were there cars at other lots in Cleveland. I had to wait three hours for a car by which time it was too late to get to the drop off in DC, my destination. I will now have to drop off the car next morning without the benefit of having my friend pick me up as I had arranged the night before, and instead have to take the metro and a 40 minute walk to get where I'm going. The reason I put value as the only high mark is because I was told I would receive a discount after the car was returned. We'll see if Budget actually keeps is word. Now I have a question: are these comments actually read and do they mean anything?

The total cost was to be $177. Had me sign in early but did not have car available online so I did not pick up car till Thursday 7:42 as one was NOT available at the promised noon. The return was supposed to be returned to Hertz. At this point I have been charged: $263 8/22; $350 on 8/22 and $422.98 on 8/25. Can you PLEASE reverse these charges to the agreed amount $177?

I rented through a third party, which was not clearly marked. Rentalcars.com. Our flight was cancelled due to torrential rains in New York City. We had to cancel our trip.

Pros:

The drop off went fine. When I told the agent that we turned the car into about our horrible experience picking up the car, he deducted $10 off of the remaining fees.

Cons:

The pick up was the worst we have ever experienced. From the time that we arrived at the Thrifty counter until we were given the car, it was almost an hour. While we did receive a free upgrade, the wait was totally unacceptable. They gave us a coupon for 15% off of our NEXT Thrifty rental which probably should have just applied to the current rental.
