Car rental in Marquette

Do keep in mind the time difference: Marquette is five hours behind British Standard Time, so adjust your watches accordingly. Marquette uses the US Dollar, but you can easily change your British Pounds at the airport or at local banks. Speed limits are usually posted in miles per hour, not kilometers per hour, always adhering to these limits is important.

Hiring the Right Car

With beautiful natural landscapes to explore around the city, an SUV could be the best choice to ensure a comfortable journey on all terrains. However, if you're planning to stay mostly within the city, a compact car might be more fuel efficient and easier to park. Remember, unlike in the UK, most rental cars here are automatic, not manual.

Driving in Marquette

Do note that here, Americans drive on the right side of the road, opposite to the left-side driving you might be used to in the UK. It's advised that you take a moment to adjust to this change before setting off on your journey.

Parking in Marquette

Marquette offers both street parking and parking garages. Pay attention to the signs as some areas require a small fee. Also, in contrast to the UK, parking is often free after 6pm, even in the city centre.
