Car rental at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport

On the Road

Driving Side

Unlike driving in Britain, in the United States, you'll be driving on the right side of the road. Don't fret- with a little focus and making use of your sat-nav, acclimatising won't take too long.

Gearing Up

Most rental cars in the US are automatic, which differs from the manual cars more common in Britain. But worry not- automatics are easier to drive, especially for first-time right-side drivers.

Fuel Stations

Worried about running low on fuel? Along the route from the airport to Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, there are multiple gas stations, many of which are open 24/7.

Useful Information

Currency

The currency in the United States is the Dollar. Most places accept credit cards, but it doesn't hurt to have some cash on hand.

Weather

Michigan enjoys all four seasons. Winters can be snowy and icy, so if you're travelling between November and March, make sure to pick a rental car with winter tires.

Car Choice Recommendations

If you're a family or group, an SUV is perfect for providing space and comfortable driving. Couples or individual travellers might enjoy the economy or intermediate cars for easy navigation and parking.

Key Attractions and Routes

The drive to Kalamazoo allows you to visit attractions like the Kalamazoo Nature Center and the Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Museum. Heading to Battle Creek? Don't miss the Binder Park Zoo and the Harper Creek.

The easy drive routes from the airport provide an opportunity to start your adventure right from the moment your wheels hit the road.
