KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Duluth

  • Car hires in Duluth offer tons of benefits compared to public transport. With a hire car, you will have all the time to explore the regions at your preferred pace and time. Duluth is known for its natural beauty and great views; hiring a car will enable you to experience a scenic drive along the various parts of the city, especially the North Shore Scenic Drive along Lake Superior. Multiple attractions in Duluth are more easily accessible by car than public transport, including the Enger Tower, Jay Cooke State Park, Spirit Mountain, and Gooseberry Falls State Park.
  • The main airport in Duluth, Minnesota, is Duluth International Airport (DLH). The on-site car hires in Duluth include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. The car hires in Duluth Airport are in the baggage claim areas of the airport terminal. You can pick up your car after completing the hiring process outside the baggage claim area. Ensure you have a valid driving licence, identification documents including passport or national ID card, credit cards, and other documents needed to complete paperwork for hiring a car at the Duluth car hire companies.
  • Duluth has a hilly terrain close to Lake Superior and Skyline Parkway. Adjust your driving to lower gears and engine braking when descending steep hills. The hilly regions may be challenging to drive during winter; therefore, ensure you have a stable vehicle with a good braking system when visiting Duluth. Duluth is bike-friendly; consequently, you will encounter several cyclists on the dedicated bike trails and lanes. Be mindful of the cyclists and keep a good distance, especially when entering intersections. In downtown Duluth and major attractions, look out for pedestrians jaywalking and yield to pedestrians on crossings.
  • Duluth experiences rush hours during residents’ work commute from 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 18:00, especially on major roads leading to and from the city centre. Avoid Interstate 35 and Highway 53 during rush hours, as they get increasingly congested. Several bridges in Duluth, including the Aerial Lift Bridge connecting Minnesota Point to Canal Park, also experience increased traffic during peak hours and on special events days. Duluth experiences winter from December to February, affecting driving as roads may be icy, slippery, and with reduced visibility. Ensure you hire a vehicle with winter tyres, including a four-wheel drive to manoeuvre the icy roads and for good visibility.
