Ask about road tolls if travelling long distance. Some of the roads in Michigan are in poor condition due to extreme weather so try and seek a larger (suv) car if your budget allows.

Check everything before leaving the lot. Make sure the car you are getting will work for you, other than that any car is good for Grand Rapids.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids is plonked amidst the scenic countryside of Michigan, only a 40-minute car ride from the Lake Michigan and Huron-Manistee National Forests. The best way to explore the wonderful attractions in and around Grand Rapids is on your own four wheels, so pick up a hire car to make the most out of your trip to the city.
13 miles southeast of Grand Rapids is the Gerald R. Ford International Airport, where travelers can conveniently pick up a hire car. The agencies’ counters can be found on the first floor of the parking garage and include internationally renowned companies like Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz. The quickest way to Grand Rapids’ center is via the I-96 W, which will take you to the city in 20 minutes.
The winters in Michigan can be very cold and bring lots of snow. Therefore, it is imperative to familiarize yourself with driving in snow conditions if you visit in the winter. Make sure the hire car is properly equipped and fitted with winter tires. It is also recommended that you keep an emergency kit in the car with band aids, water, a torchlight, and some snacks, in case you get stuck in the snow and it requires time to be reached. Also, if you do get stuck, never spin the wheels, as the tires will only dig deeper into the ground.
Look forward to a smooth and pleasant driving experience when visiting Grand Rapids. The roads are well-maintained in most areas and drivers are not aggressive or in too much of a rush compared to many other cities. Traffic is also barely congested, so there is really no reason to avoid driving in the city, but do be a bit more careful between 7 and 8 am.

When I showed up a half hour after my rental time to pick up my rental car, they said there would be a half hour to 40 minute wait for my rental car. I said I had a reservation and the man at the counter gestured to a group of people (maybe 20) sitting on the side and said "so do all of these people and they have to wait for their cars too." He told me that the cars were on site but just needed to be cleaned. They wouldn't finish checking us in until our car was "ready" and said they would call us up to the desk at that time. Other than having to wait in a long line to get my car before, I've never been told that my car wasn't ready. I was lucky to not have to be anywhere right away which is different than other work trips.

So my flights into GR got cancelled and Qeeq (the company I made my reservation with) did an excellent job helping me get refunded even though I was not within my 24 hour prior cancellation time. They communicated very well on everything and I would use them and Budget again.

Budget overcharged my by over $100 from the agreed upon price for no reason which they also did the last time I rented from them forcing me to deal with customer service to "prove" my original agreed upon rental price which I will have to do again.

The first car we were given at the hire point was very dirty and internally had a strong cannabis odour. On advising the staff they were apologetic and helpful however it baffled me that the vehicle could be sent out to hire in the state it was. Given we had a 12 hour drive ahead of us it was implausible that we could be subjected to the stench of the car for that long. Further as we were returning to Australia there was also a risk that our luggage could also become compromised through contact with whatever substances had been used in that car putting us at risk when trying to clear customs. The attendant said the previous driver would be charged additional cleaning costs. This begged the question if I had not said anything at point of hire then I would have been subjected to the cleaning cost. Altogether a very unacceptable experience.

Being disclosed about the deposit and them preferring credit cards would be great. My credit card had gotten stolen so I only had a debit on me and was charged a $500 deposit because of that. Of course you get it back, but it’s an inconvenience. My plane landed late, they gave away the car I originally booked… I was only 30 mins late to pick up. The line itself was long so I spent another 10-15 mins waiting which is fine ! But just to say, it’s odd they gave away the car I booked so quickly. Whatever. At least I got a car, but it still was far from a smooth experience.

Absolutely a disastrous experience. I flew from Los Angeles to Grand Rapids, Michigan for a funeral. When I arrived via Uber at the Enterprise location with my reservation and confirmation number, I was told that there were no cars available, despite my confirmed reservation and confirmation. They offered no resolution, and I was stranded in Grand Rapids until a family member could pick me up. I was late to the funeral visitation and vigil. I will never use Kayak or Enterprise again. I called their corporate head quarters and have yet to receive any follow up from them.
