KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Sterling Heights

  • Getting a cheap car rental in Sterling Heights during your visit will give you the freedom to explore not only the city, but also the surrounding areas. In the city, go to Thelma Spencer Park, a lakefront park with swimming and trails, or hike the Clinton River Park Main Trail. You can also drive to Clinton River Heritage Park or City of Warren Halmich Park, both of which have large green spaces popular for picnics. Outside the city, you can drive to te Henry Ford Museum, which is approximately 33 miles from the city, or Comerica Park, which is only 22 miles from the city.
  • Renting a car at Windsor International Airport (YQG) is simple as the airport has an on-site car rental desk located directly across from the domestic baggage claim area. At the desk, car rental companies such as Hertz, Budget, Avis, Enterprise, and Priceless are available. After reviewing your booking and paperwork, staff will direct you to your vehicle, which will be located in the pick-up and return lots just outside the terminal. You must have a driver's license, which can be in English or French, or an international driver's license if it is in another language. You will need to have your passport and a credit card that is accepted. It is recommended that you should check with your chosen provider ahead of time to see what credit cards they accept.
  • Driving car rentals in Sterling Heights is relatively simple, as the city's roads are in good condition and drivers are generally courteous. However, as a new driver in the city, it is in your best interests to drive cautiously, as most roads in this city may pass through congested areas. Maintaining a comfortable gap when following a vehicle, signaling your intentions to other drivers early, and minimizing unnecessary lane changes are just a few of the techniques you can use to achieve a smooth driving experience in Sterling Heights.
  • Sterling Heights rarely has traffic jams because of the quality of the roads and careful driving. Even if it isn't that bad, try to avoid driving during peak hours. On weekdays, rush hour typically occurs between 7am and 8:30am and 4pm to 6pm. During peak hours, M-59/Hall Road and Van Dyke (south of 18 Mile Road) are usually the most affected roads, though the traffic will not last long. Also, keep in mind that the winters in Sterling Heights and the greater Detroit area can be cold and hazardous to driving. Drive slowly and make sure your Sterling Heights car rental is equipped with appropriate winter gear.
  • Book your car hire in Sterling Heights at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Sterling Heights are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average

I booked the reservation and when I went to pick up the car they said they had no cars available. They said I wouldn't be charged. Well I got charged a no show fee and it's so difficult getting it refunded, Expedia support has not been helpful.
