Top tips for hiring a car at Akron/Canton airport

  • While Akron/Canton Airport provides arriving travelers with both public and private transportation options to both Akron and Canton, rental cars are the best alternatives, especially for those looking to explore all the sites in both cities conveniently. Since the public buses either go to Akron or Canton, driving yourself will give you the flexibility to travel to both cities. Taxis are convenient but are relatively less economical options for those who want to explore multiple destinations in and around each city. After a long flight, you also get to travel directly to your destination without having to worry about connecting with other transportation means and bulky luggage.
  • On average, it takes less than 10min for travelers to get their rental car, although this may vary depending on the arrival time. Fortunately, travelers do not need to travel far to get to the rental counters since they are all situated within the terminal. Travelers will be able to spot the counters from the baggage claim carousel. You also do not need to worry about bringing the car back later than the agreed-upon time since some rental agencies allow after-hours returns.
  • Ensure you make a mental note of the exact pick-up location of whichever car rental at Akron/Canton Airport you rent since the return location is in the same area. To make finding the return area less challenging, the airport has marked signs overhead leading to the return lot location from the entrance to the airport. Those returning vehicles after office hours should leave the keys and the rental contract at the rental desk, where they will find a dropbox.
  • An ideal time to pick up a car rental at Akron/Canton Airport is during off-peak hours at around noon. Travelers are more likely to have a wide variety of vehicles during this time since passenger traffic is less. It will also take a relatively shorter time to pick up a pre-booked car at mid-day than the morning or evening hours. Travelers can save on pick-up time by booking a rental before arriving at the bustling airport. You are likely to get stuck in slow-moving traffic if you bring back a rental anywhere between 3 pm and 6 pm when the roads leading to the airport, especially Interstate 77, are congested.
  • Book your car hire at Akron/Canton airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about hiring a car at Akron/Canton airport

  • Which of the rental car agencies at Akron/Canton Airport are the easiest to use?

    Travelers will have an easy time with some notable Akron/Canton car rental brands like Budget and Hertz. These renowned brands are best suited for travelers who are in a rush or those who want to be out and about exploring the city’s best sites. With Budget, you will get a speedy service with the Fastbreak program from the designated Fastbreak kiosk. On the other hand, Hertz has a loyalty program that offers travelers certain perks, like the convenient option of not waiting in line at the rental desk.

  • What kind of amenities are at the Akron/Canton Airport rental car center?

    Fortunately, all CAK’s car rental desks for all agencies, including Budget, Avis, Alamo, Hertz, and Enterprise, are within the terminal. Travelers can therefore utilize the amenities within this vast facility like the restrooms, dining establishments, nursing rooms, Kids PlayPort, and the business lounge.

  • What kind of documentation is required to rent a car at Akron/Canton Airport?

    To qualify to rent any vehicle from a car rental at Akron/Canton Airport, renters must possess a valid driving license issued by the U.S. government. The acceptable form of payment is through a debit or credit card in the renter’s name, which must also have enough funds to cover the total cost of the rental.

  • Which car hire companies will pick you up at Akron/Canton airport?

    Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Akron/Canton airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, National, and Thrifty.

Everything was great; especially loved being able to rent a GPS system.

Cons:

Costs could be lower: $180 for a one-day, one-way rental is ridiculous.

Drop-off and pickup in Parkersburg, WV and Canton, OH were both quick and easy; neither Chicago (O'Hare and West Loop) experience was positive: slow and unfriendly at O'Hare, and unexpectedly closed office with confusing drop-off at West Loop.

Bren, Sept 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Drop-off was way better than pickup. He listened and was knowledgeable and professional, even though he was training a new employee. And super fast.

Cons:

There was a clean sticker on the door jam and the inside looked cleaned but doubt it was sanitized (due to other behavior). The windows had a lot of spray water spots (not dried after car wash) so visibility was hampered by car lights and sunshine. Had to stop and clean them. The rental agent wanted to charge extra for listing spouse, which we questioned, and then she said oh maybe we don't. There could be more transparency on fees, insurance, charges, customer service and information. Seems shady and like trying to pad the bill tactics. Just have clear and trustworthy info spelled out. Tire tread was very low and we had rain during most of the drive. Concerning. Reserved an intermediate car and could not see anything on the display screen like Auto Android or Google maps or Waze. This is 2020! Sheesh. And we could not get a simple answer on insurance, or the benefits or things to consider or why to choose your insurance. Very strange like we should not get Hertz ins. We will not rent from Hertz again. And it was $6+ more than the online reservation amount and no reason given when we asked.

My only issue was there was nobody to check my rental back in and nobody at the desk either. So I just left the keys on the counter, hoping it was getting returned properly and that I’d receive my $200 credit deposit back. This was at Akron/Canton location.
