Car rental at the Chippewa County International Airport

The car rental offices are conveniently located in the terminal building, enabling you to start your journey immediately upon landing. Just remember, driving here is on the right side of the road, unlike in the UK.

Your Car Rental Choices

At CIU, you can choose from a selection of reliable car rental companies offering a wide range of vehicles- compact cars for city driving, family-size sedans, or sturdy SUVs for those planning outdoor adventures in Michigan's wilderness. Please note, automatic transmission is common in U.S vehicles, another difference from many UK cars.

Fuel Stations Near the Airport

Filling up the tank is no hassle here. There are several petrol stations located within a short driving distance from the airport. And remember, petrol is referred to as 'gas' in the U.S.

Exploring Surrounding Cities

The charm of Michigan is in its rustic locales and bustling cities. From the airport, you can hit the road to visit places like Sault Ste. Marie, Mackinaw City, and St. Ignace. Each of these destinations holds plenty of attractions sure to make your trip memorable.

Money Matters: U.S. Dollar ($)

In the U.S., the currency used is the U.S. Dollar. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always handy to keep some cash, especially for tipping, a common practice in America. Exchange your GBP to USD before your travel, or use ATMs at the airport for the same.

Climate: Embrace the Seasons

Michigan is known for its seasonal variations. Summers can be warm, spring and autumn are generally mild, and winters can bring snow, just like in the UK. Pack accordingly to the time of the year you are visiting.
