Avis Car Rental is one of three providers of Sault Ste. Marie airport car rentals at Chippewa County International Airport (CIU), and the only one that gives you the ability to accelerate your travel experience with Avis Preferred, a complimentary membership that allows you to skip the line and go straight to your car.

If you’ll be staying here during the winter months consider booking a four-wheel-drive with good clearance, as “the Soo” averages about 128 inches of snow each year. Fortunately, Avis has a wide selection of vehicles good for all seasons, from compact cars to luxury vehicles to powerful SUVs. Once you get your keys at the counter in the airport’s baggage claim area, pick up your CIU car rental from the airport car rentals lot. From there, it’s a mere 25-minute drive to Sault Ste. Marie.

While you’re in town, climb the 210-foot-tall Tower of History for a bird’s eye view of the twin cities (there’s a Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan, as well as one in Ontario, Canada, just across St. Marys River) and the Soo Locks, which Great Lakes ships use to bypass the nearby rapids on their way between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Then you can try Lake Superior whitefish at The Lockview Restaurant, right across from the Soo Locks’ main gate.

But first, a reliable, professional place for Chippewa County International Airport rental cars—and that place is Avis. Browse through the fleet to find the rental car deal that suits you best.
