KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waterford

  • Securing car rentals in Waterford, Michigan is a wonderful idea because it can get you throughout the township and into Detroit on your own schedule and more quickly than the often-unavailable public transportation. In Waterford car rentals, you can visit one of the many parks in the area, including Hess-Hathaway Park, Dodge #4 State Park, and Marshbank Park. Just outside the town limits, you can visit the Pontiac Lake Recreation Area, Indian Springs Metro Park, and Blue Mountain State Recreation Area. Those driving car rentals in Waterford can visit Ann Arbor to the southwest, Lake Huron to the northeast, or Lake Michigan to the northwest.
  • Situated about a 50-minute drive south of Waterford, the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) serves as an ideal location for securing Waterford car rentals. At DTW, once you exit baggage claim, follow the signs to Ground Transportation in either terminal, where you can catch a free shuttle to the Rental Car Campus, located in the northeast corner of the airport. When you return your rental car to where you picked it up, you can catch a free shuttle to your airport terminal.
  • Waterford Township is in the northeast corner of the Detroit metropolitan area. It has a small-town feel, yet it has access to the big city. Traffic in Waterford itself tends to be calm and quiet. There's no particular downtown area or retail center where traffic can become congested. If you are driving into or toward Detroit during peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and then from 4 pm to 6 pm, you will experience traffic congestion.
  • For those driving car rentals in Waterford, the biggest challenges you will face have to do with inclement weather. Snowfall in Waterford can be frequent and intense, and ice storms and extreme cold can contribute to slippery roads. For those securing Waterford car rentals in the winter months, make sure there is an ice scraper and a snow brush in the car.
  • Book your car hire in Waterford at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I liked nothing. One thing could've been better though...How about having a car available when a customer shows up with a reservation and a confirmation number. Yeah..that part could've been better for sure.

We had to leave town so we couldn't keep our rental. The Waterford location was closed at 1 pm and we got there maybe 2 minutes later. On a Saturday. On Waterford Budget's website it said there was no after hours drop box for the keys and that you had to do it in person. We couldn't just leave the rental in the driveway of our house because we would be responsible if anything happened to the car. We drove all the way to Flint at the airport since that was the only location other than Detroit airport still open after 1 pm on a Saturday. We get there and they tell me I should wait to return it to the Waterford location, and I tell them I can't because we are leaving town. They had me call customer service and I couldn't even understand the guy I got on the phone. I don't know what kind of accent it was but it was almost impossible to understand him. I have never had a huge problem understanding another accent but this was ridiculous. I explained over and over that we had to leave town unexpectedly and couldn't use the rental anymore. I asked if the fee could be waived ($300 if you don't return it to the same location) because Waterford was closed and I wasn't able to just drop the keys off there. He told me over and over that I'd be charged $300, and didn't understand me asking if it could be waived. After asking the fourth time I gave up. I went to the counter and they told me that's ridiculous and that customer service waives it for other people often. So ticked off, we just returned the car and paid the astronomical bill. So much for being called Budget. Nothing budget about the price we had to pay because our location closed at 1 pm on a Saturday. Never using Budget or Avis again. I'd look at any other rental company if I were anyone else. Not recommended at all.

Easy pickup and drop off. Very friendly staff. The car was cleaned with some kind of cleaner on the inside and not wiped dry so it dried very spotty and made the car seem dirty.

Location is not kept well, the “kids” and I do mean “kids” may or may not have any idea their being exploited by their boses/owners. Pice was cheep and so was the quality of this specific location. First and last time I’d ever rent from here. Cars are not clean and neither is the location.

The vehicle that I rented had a bad tire that vibrated at speeds over 60mph which made for a very unpleasant drive. The staff at the local office was very unfriendly and not helpful at all.
