Top tips for renting a car in Akron


Akron is a city best explored on four wheels, and renting a car on Turo gives you the freedom to take it all in at your own pace. From downtown drives to scenic routes just outside the city, having a car opens up every corner. Here are some helpful tips before you get on the road:


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Akron?


Most state routes have a speed limit of 35 mph, although certain areas post 50 to 55 mph. Be careful when driving through Downtown Akron, as red light cameras are in place to catch speeding and running red lights. Road conditions are generally good, though wind gusts, cloud cover, or construction may slow you down.


What is parking like in Akron?


There are plenty of parking options in Downtown Akron, including surface lots, parking garages, and metered street parking. Keep in mind that the meters only operate from 7 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. With so many options available, it's easy to find a place to park your rental vehicle.


Are there toll roads in Akron?


Akron sits near the Ohio Turnpike, so a few routes around the city are tolled. If you'd rather skip them, you can plan a route that stays on local roads and still reach most of Downtown Akron without a highway — it may just take a little longer.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Akron?


If you're planning to rent an electric vehicle, it's good to know that Akron offers plenty of EV chargers. There are also lots of gas stations, including Shell, Exxon, and Circle K. Public EV chargers are easy to find at shopping centers, public parking lots, and near recreational spots.


Do I need to rent a car in Akron?


Yes, particularly if you want to explore the city beyond the downtown area. Popular spots such as the Akron Zoo, Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park are much easier to reach with a car. Fortunately, Turo makes it simple to pick up a rental car in Akron, which will significantly broaden your horizons.
