Top Tips for Hiring a Convertible Car in Detroit

  • Detroit is known as the Motor City. General Motors has its headquarters in the heart of the city and Ford is in nearby Dearborn. For this reason, the Chevrolet Camaro or the Ford Mustang convertible is the most popular convertible car to rent when you're visiting Detroit. Rent one of these convertibles for a night of bar hopping or gambling in Greektown or the Casino District of Detroit.
  • If you're flying into Detroit, you can easily rent a car at the Detroit Wayne County Metropolitan Airport (DTW). Once you land and grab your luggage, you can take an airport shuttle to the rental car center. You'll see the name of the rental car company on the side and front of the bus. Some on-airport agencies include Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and Thrifty. They are all located on Lucas Drive.
  • Take a drive on Belle Isle Beach in an open-air or convertible 4x4. You'll enjoy the fresh air and breeze of the Detroit River as you ride around the island in your Jeep Wrangler with the top down. You might also enjoy riding in one of these fun vehicles to a Tigers game or for the opening night of the Lions' season. You can rent one of these vehicles at Enterprise, Alamo, or National Car Rental at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
  • You'll take the freeway to most of your destinations around Detroit. The Lodge Freeway (M-10) goes through the Western portion of Detroit including the suburbs and the downtown area. I-696 goes from east to west and offers exits to the suburbs of Novi, Royal Oak, and Warren. I-94 covers the most southern points of the city, including the suburbs of Hamtramck and Dearborn. It also connects to Downtown Detroit. If you want to avoid the freeways, Detroit has a Mile Road System. That is, east/west roads are named by their distance from the Detroit River and downtown, i.e. Three Mile Road is closest to downtown and Ten Mile Road further away. When booking your rental convertible car, getting GPS will help you to get around this large metropolitan city.
  • Book your convertible car hire in Detroit at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • November is typically the cheapest month to hire a convertible car in Detroit, with prices around €70 per day. The most expensive month is July, with average prices of €127 per day.

FAQs About Hiring a Convertible Car in Detroit

  • When is the best time of the year to rent a convertible in Detroit?

    Because Detroit has four seasons, renting a convertible only makes sense a few months out of the year. You'll benefit from a Detroit convertible car rental most in June, July, August, and September. However, you might get a great deal when you book a convertible last minute on a warm day in May or October. You'll get some of the best prices at a rental company around the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

  • Where should I park my rental convertible car in Downtown Detroit?

    Although there are plenty of independently-owned parking lots in Detroit, consider parking your Detroit convertible car rental in a reputable garage such as the Millenium Garage, the Ford Underground Garage, or on the Cobo Roof Deck where you can take in views of the city. Once you park, you can get a ride around the city on the Detroit People Mover (a light rail system) to your destination.

  • Can I drive my rental convertible car to Canada?

    Detroit is just across the bridge from Windsor, Canada. You can also take the tunnel to this city which takes about 10min. Most car rental companies will permit you to take your car out of the country. Consult with your rental car agent for more information and make sure that you have the proper paperwork and documents needed to enter Canada.

  • Is traffic heavy in Detroit?

    It can be during rush hour. For this reason, we'd recommend that you not drive your rental convertible car in Detroit during the week from 7.00 am - 9.00 am and in the evenings from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm. This is especially true on the freeways that run closest to the downtown areas.

  • How does KAYAK find such low convertible car hire prices?

    KAYAK compares convertible car hire prices from all major car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

  • How much does a convertible car hire cost in Detroit?

    On average a convertible car hire in Detroit costs €105 per day.

  • Which car hire companies in Detroit hire convertible cars?

    Car hire companies in Detroit that hire convertible cars include Alamo, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National and Payless.

  • How much does it cost to hire a convertible car for a week in Detroit?

    On average a convertible car in Detroit costs €734 per week (€105 per day) to hire.

  • How much does it cost to hire a convertible car long term for a month in Detroit?

    On average a convertible car in Detroit costs €3,148 per month (€734 per week) to hire.

Nearly 60 minutes in line to check in. Lack of staff to attend to very long line of customers. Returning car was easy .. very small airport….but charged me double stating that the gas tank was not full on return. Spent an hour on phone with customer service.. emailed gas receipt and finally got charge removed. Not sure how such a simple thing as reading gas tank level can get screwed up. I feel that a charge was trying to be slipped in hoping I would not look at emailed receipt. Not acceptable.

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!

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 lady at the Detroit airport pickup office was incredible! She was kind, efficient, and extremely helpful. There was an issue with the first vehicle I picked up. The car smelled like someone had been smoking in the vehicle. That was not acceptable for a week rental. When I went back to the counter and pointed out this problem the person helping me was apologetic and immediately arranged for another vehicle. I would hire this person to work in my office.

The pickup experience was completely out of control, Apparently multiple workers had called out that day, but there were basically only two people working the counter, then three when the manager joined. I stood in line longer than it took for me to fly from NYC to Detroit. Then they sent me to an empty parking spot because they had lost control of where their stock was or wasn't. I ended up with a very different class of vehicle, and one that used significantly more gas than I expected to use. Check in was better, but the handheld system kept disconnecting from their wifi or satellite link, so again, a little delay. The staff, on the other hand, was always nice, pleasant, hard working and attendant; they just didn't have what they needed to offer an acceptable level of service.

Absolutely awful. They didn’t have anyone at the Payless so everyone had to be in one line at the Avis. Line was SO long and the staff was moving so slowly. I saw one staff member texting slowly while looking at all of us in the long line. Extremely hot in there, felt like no AC. We ended up walking out and choosing to Uber the hour drive to our hotel and waste the money because we had a wedding to get to. Truly one of the worst experiences ever. Do NOT use this company!!!!

The computer system was down for more than 4 hours before we landed. Avis did not alert us, rebook us, or direct us to another rental agency. Instead, we were forced to sit in a line of 40+ people for close to 2 hours to get our vehicle. When we finally did get to the counter, the vehicle we ordered/held was unavailable. They tried to "upgrade" me from an economical standard sized car to a pickup truck, knowing I had an infant in a car seat. We I refused, they put me in an SUV. I asked for a compact SUV, and instead was forced into the largest SUV they rent, a 7 passenger gas-gazzler. For reference, it was me and my infant only, and we had a 95-mile road trip to make. I have nothing good to say about my experience renting from Avis Detroit.

Waited 2 hours in line during check in in order to get a car. Slowest system I’ve ever seen for car pick up. Can’t believe in 2024 this isn’t a kiosk or there isn’t a more efficient way to check in. I’m all for face to face business but in this case 2 people to check in 20+ people in 2 hours detracts from the customer experience.
