KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Parma

  • Booking a car from one of the affordable car rentals in Parma is one of the best decisions you can make when visiting this charming city. With a rental car, you will have the luxury of driving yourself to all the locations on your travel itinerary at your own pace. You can drive your rental car to the Veterans Memorial Park, a park with a sports field and a lake, or the CanalWay Center, a nature, fishing, and hiking park, both within the city. A 9-mile drive outside of town will take you to the Garfield Park Red Oak Shelter, a well-known park with a variety of native wild animals.
  • You'll most likely want to pick up your Parma car rental when you land at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), Parma's primary airport. This airport is well-served by popular car rental agencies such as Avis, Budget, National, Dollar, Thrifty, and Alamo. Even though all of these companies serve the airport, none of them has an onsite car rental facility. The airport features a shuttle bus that transports passengers from the airport to an offsite car rental center. It will take you about 20 minutes to drive from the car rental facility to downtown Parma.
  • Parma, like many other major cities in Ohio, has a large number of vehicles and non-motorized road users competing for road space. While driving through the city center, keep an eye out for pedestrians who may cross the street in undesignated areas, particularly near restaurants and bars. You should also keep in mind that Parma is close to the major tollways that comprise the Ohio Turnpike. As a result, it is best to become acquainted with which ones you will be driving on as well as the specific terms of your car rental agreement. Avoid the I-76, I-80, and I-90 highways if you do not intend to pay tolls.
  • If you have the freedom to choose when you arrive at your destination, we highly recommend that you do so outside the city's rush hour. Rush hour is from 7 am to 8:30 am when people leave for work and from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. when people return home. It's also worth noting that Parma gets the most snow between December and March. If you plan to visit during this time, pay close attention to local weather reports and be very careful when driving on icy roads.
  • Book your car hire in Parma at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Parma are around 35% cheaper than other car types, on average

    There is plenty of space on the roads and in parking garages throughout the city, so you don't have to sacrifice space or comfort with your rental car.

The premium SUV we ordered 6 weeks earlier was not available. We were given a truck (a Tundra) which we refused due to its size. After quite some time they offered us a Mitsubishi intermediate SUV which was filled with a stinky smoke smell the whole trip. The “need maintenance light” kept coming on every time we started the vehicle and when we left the car rental place, we noticed there was only 1/4 of a tank of gas. We had a person traveling with us that was on oxygen 24/7 and we plugged her oxygen tank into the cigarette lighter to keep it charged for our 8 hour trip. It was after a few hours that we noticed her tank was not recharging. After trying several different ways of plugging her oxygen into the cigarette lighter we realized it was not working. It was a very difficult trip for our friend who had to keep turning her oxygen off to save the charge. The assistant manager did knock off some of the rental charge when we returned it, but we felt we should have been reimbursed 100% of the fee due to the dangerous predicament they put our friend who is dependent on her oxygen due to her COPD.

A clearer and more defined outline of the fees associated with the car rental. There was no attempt to explain or go over the gold rewards membership which could have saved us money as well. Every single person that witnessed coming in for pickup or drop off had some exorbitant amount of money tacked onto a price that was given in the beginning. With all that confusion you would think they would take some time to explain but their response every time, including when we had questions, was "do you want the car or not?" They had no patience and had no remorse and could not explain where all this verbiage was contractually for us to reference anywhere. I will use Turo any chance I can from here on out.

Pros:

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Cons:

Did not get comparable car.... over priced... despicable customer service... inaccurate hours... primary vs secondary driver not clearly defined for payment options or extra fees. Will never rent from Hurtz again and will discourage others from doing so
