KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Duluth

  • Car rentals in Duluth are a convenient and comfortable way to travel throughout the city. The city does not have an extensive public transportation system, so driving is the best way to go between locations and neighborhoods. By having access to Duluth car rentals, you can easily go to sights that may not be as close to the city center. For example, there is the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area, which is around a 20min drive from downtown Duluth, as well as the Jay Cooke State Park, which can be reached by car in approximately 30min.
  • You can always book your car rentals in Duluth directly at Duluth International Airport (DLH). Duluth International Airport has a car rental center that is placed directly in the Arrivals terminal, not far from where baggage claim is located. The car rental center hosts several major rental companies, including Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National.
  • To make sure that you operate car rentals in Duluth as safely as possible, it’s important that you learn about local driving laws and different driving tips for the area. For example, all children under the age of eight must always be in a proper safety seat. If you would like to pass a car on a two to four lane highway, you have the legal right to increase your speed limit by up to 10 mph over the designated speed limit. You also must always have your headlights on during fog, snow, sleet, rain, and hail.
  • If you want to avoid getting caught in a traffic jam, try not to be on the roads during rush hour, which is generally between 7:00 and 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 and 5:30 p.m. There are some roads in the city that tend to be more congested than others, and these include Interstates 35, 61, and 535. During the winter months, the city tends to have a lot of snow and rain, so you will also want to pay extra attention when driving in these conditions.
  • Book your rental car in Duluth at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Duluth are around 32% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Duluth?

    Those that won’t be driving long distances and will mainly be staying in downtown Duluth can always opt for an economy model, as a smaller vehicle makes it easy to find parking spots and drive through tight streets. If you know you will be visiting during winter, or you will be traveling with a larger group, you can always select an SUV instead, as such a car makes it easier to drive in snow and to fit extra passengers.

  • What’s the speed limit in Duluth?

    In school and residential zones, the speed limit will usually be 25 mph. For areas under construction, or particularly busy roads downtown, the speed limit is also 25 mph. On other roads within the city, you will often find a speed limit of 30 mph. When you drive on expressways in the city, the speed limit is generally 65 mph, while for interstates, it is typically 70 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Duluth?

    Duluth has many street parking meters that are a convenient option for visitors, especially when visiting downtown. These parking meters can be paid for with coins or cards, and there is also a smartphone app that anyone can download to help make payment easier. There are also several parking lots, both paid and free, that are conveniently positioned within the city and generally have plenty of free spaces. For example, there is the Duluth Transit Center lot that offers both hourly and daily rates, as well as a series of municipal lots throughout the city that offer similar fares.

Pros:

The agent confirmed she would remain there beyond the usual closing time if my flight arrived later. She was extremely nice and did not try to push additional options. I received better vehicle than expected. The agency and the vehicle were at the terminal.

Cons:

Everything went great.

Pros:

I was sitting at the Philadelphia airport waiting for my flight when I received a call from Avis telling me that they would be closed when I arrived at 9:48 from Chicago. I live in a remote rural area, and was completely stranded in Duluth. It seems to me that

Cons:

It seems to me that if you have a car rental, someone should stay at the desk until the last flight comes in. The later, the more urgent this is.

Pros:

Alexa is the branch manager in Duluth at Central Entrance. She was extremely helpful in a very busy time. I was stuck with a car that just didn't work for us, and she was able to move things around to enable myself and my kids to make it back to Minneapolis to catch our flight. outstanding customer service. Very efficient as well.
