Car was in excellent condition, the pickup and drop off area was easily accessible, and the host was nothing short of amazing. I rented the vehicle because my daughter loves muscle cars / sports cars and I wanted to take her for a ride. The car did not disappoint. From the moment you start it and you hear that engine roar to life, from the moment you touch the gas and hear that purr… it’s an awesome feeling and sound. More on the host, Abdullah was awesome before, during, and after the trip with communication, courtesy, and overall just an easy guy to deal with. This was my first time using Turo and Abdullah made it a breeze. Will rent from him again!

Top tips for renting a car in Ann Arbor


Make the most of your Ann Arbor visit with these handy tips. Navigate the city's streets, immerse yourself in local culture, and enjoy your trip like a local.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Ann Arbor?


Driving in Ann Arbor is straightforward, with well-maintained roads, clear signage, and a compact city to navigate. Major highways like Interstate 94 and US-23 connect the city to Detroit and surrounding areas.


Speed limits for cars typically range from 25 miles per hour (mph) to 70 mph on interstate highways and freeways. Be mindful of speed limit signs on roads like Washtenaw Avenue, Huron Parkway, and Stadium Boulevard, especially near the University of Michigan campus and school zones.


Ann Arbor experiences all four seasons, so weather conditions can vary. In winter months (December to February), snow and ice can affect road conditions — always check the local forecast and allow extra travel time. In the warmer months (June to August), enjoy a smooth ride through lush parks and along the Huron River.


Be aware that cold temperatures mean many drivers have noticed their car tire lost pressure overnight, so be sure to check your tires before driving to avoid issues with low tire pressure. Also, remember to stay alert for pedestrians and cyclists, especially in downtown areas.


Where can I park in Ann Arbor?


Parking in Ann Arbor is generally convenient, with a variety of options available:


- Downtown Ann Arbor offers metered street parking and several public parking structures like the Fourth & Washington Structure and Liberty Square Structure, which are within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

- University of Michigan campus visitors can use public parking lots like the Palmer Drive Parking Structure on weekends and after business hours.

- Residential areas may have parking restrictions, so always check for permit requirements or time limits.

It's important to take note that public parking meters are enforced Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 6 pm unless otherwise stated on the meter or central pay station. It's free on evenings, Sundays, and all holidays observed by the City of Ann Arbor employees.


Remember to read parking signs carefully to avoid fines, and consider using parking apps to find available spots and pay conveniently.

- EV charging stations are available at locations such as the Walgreen Drama Center on Murfin Avenue, Ann Ashley Public Parking on West Ann Street, and several parking structures like the Maynard Parking Structure. You can use apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint to find exact locations and availability so you can recharge while you shop, dine, or explore the city.

Plan your refueling stops ahead of time for a smooth journey.

While Ann Arbor has public transportation and is bike-friendly, renting a car gives you the freedom and flexibility to fully experience the city and everything beyond.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.

When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
