You must be 25 years old and above to drive a car belonging to the Specialty/Signature or Cool Car categories as per the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport car rental requirements. However, you may still rent a vehicle in the above-mentioned classes if you’re 18 years old and in possession of the acceptable corporate number. Alternatively, you can settle for other car classes when you present a major charge card to one of the car rental agencies at the airport. Bear in mind that you'll be charged a surcharge fee per day if you’re aged between 18 and 20 years and a different amount of the same surcharge fee if you are 21 to 24 years old.
During the car rental drop-off or return, make sure to drive straight to the airport’s car rental lots found at the northeast corner along Lucas Drive. Look for your rental car company and hand over the car keys. A shuttle bus will drop you at the Ground Transportation Center within the terminal. For the after-hours returns, ensure that you park and lock the car then place the keys and the completed car rental contract in the drop box situated in the Car Returns area before catching your flight.

First time using an electric vehicle but after a slight learning curve, it was a nice vehicle. The check-in, check-out process was nice with the shuttle getting us to the terminal within 10 minutes.

Everything was fine. When I asked to extend the rental from another 18 hours, though, I was told the fee would have been $103. That is excessive.

Had to change out a flat and the spare was in good condition. More importantly, it was so easy to get a hold of a real human being on the phone to explain my situation and tell me where to go to exchange for another car.

Pros:

Staff was helpful and the drop off was VERY quick and easy.

Cons:

Computers were down when picking up my rental, so there was a long line and long wait to complete the paperwork. Then, after the paperwork was completed, they had to radio someone to bring up our rental (a minivan) and we waited more than 20 minutes for someone to bring it. I went back to the counter and asked if the van was somewhere we could walk to and pick it up and they radioed again. Then I watched as a porter went to a minivan that was a short walk (maybe 100 yards away) and drive the car to the front of the building.

The car ran poorly. It had over 53K miles and accelerated poorly and was sluggish. We were unable to swap it out because we were under tight time constraints and in different cities. The fuel economy was decent, but the car struggled to go over 60mph as needed on I-94.

At the last minute, when I went to pick up the car, I was an 1-2 hour early. The Hertz representative charged me extra money for picking up my car early, which I think is ridiculous. You are allowed to pick up cars as early as previous nite with no charges in cities where office closes at 5 pm., but Hertz charged me for 2 hours extra. Ridiculous!
