Question 1

What are the major attractions in Akron?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Akron is all booked but your itinerary is looking a bit empty, we can give you a helping hand.

Akron Art Museum and Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens are interesting attractions that all visitors should make time to check out. Map out your route and enjoy soaking up each one.

Stop by Akron Civic Theater. It's one attraction you'll usually find on many visitors' must-do lists. If you still have space on that travel schedule, Hower House and EJ Thomas Hall will keep you occupied as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Akron?

Accepted Answer

Akron has some awesome sights, but there are other things to feast your eyes on in the surrounding area. How does a world-renowned attraction sound? About 60 miles away in Geneva, Geneva State Park lures big crowds all year round. Why not head there and find out what all the fuss is about?

Question 3

Where are the best convention centers near Akron?

Accepted Answer

If you're in town for a work conference, you'll find Hartville Kitchen 11 miles away. During one of your breaks, head to a nearby café to grab a cup of coffee — socializing and networking can be tiring.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Akron?

Accepted Answer

Akron knows how to dazzle. You could stay a week or two in this place and still not see it all. If you'd like to soak up as much as possible in this dynamic metropolis, a rental car is a must. Keep in mind that driving in the city usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and even tighter parking spaces. Don't worry though, because a small, economical car will make this much less daunting. If you're going to put the city behind you and discover some of the prairies that Akron is renowned for, you'll want a rental car with more cargo space. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that scenic road trip even more fun.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Akron?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it's all about the journey, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you're about to embark on an unforgettable road trip around Akron, a spacious SUV could be your perfect match. If you'd like the cheapest price possible and plan to stick to city driving, a versatile compact is a smart pick. All you need to do is work out what will suit you best, throw your bags in the trunk, and hit the wide, open road.

Question 6

Is it difficult to park in Akron?

Accepted Answer

Scoring a parking space in Akron shouldn't be too difficult. Of course, it depends on where you are and when — it could be tricky parking in the very center during peak periods.

Does Akron have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

As with most cities, roads get busy in the hours before and after work. However, thanks to its smaller population of around 197,500, traffic gridlock isn't a big concern in Akron.

What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Summit County?

Accepted Answer

One of two things will happen. Your chosen rental car company may charge the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the most common approach. On the other hand, it may give your contact details to the relevant local authority so the fine is sent straight to you.
