Top tips for hiring a car at Cedar Rapids airport

  • If you are visiting Eastern Iowa, you will need a rental car. Although public transportation is available, it is not the best means for exploring this region. A rental car gives you the power to venture far beyond the pavement and routes that the public bus won’t access. Moreover, you will be free to travel whenever and for however long, unlike with the strict bus schedules.
  • If you don’t know which car to choose from, you have two options from the Cedar Rapids Airport car rental providers. The first is picking the best-rated cars, which are compact and intermediate vehicles at this location. Option B is going with the supplier’s choice, which is a good way of saving money, as the supplier’s choice vehicles are usually much cheaper.
  • If you are physically challenged, consider booking your Cedar Rapids Airport car rental online and picking it up at the airport. You can have your rental car adapted to your needs by the providers at Cedar Rapids Airport (CID), but they need prior notice, hence the booking online. Spinner knobs, swivel seats, hand controls, panoramic mirrors, and pedal extenders are some features that can be added to rental cars for the physically challenged.
  • If you wish to travel across state borders, you can do so in car rentals from Cedar Rapids Airport. You will be free to travel all over the US with Cedar Rapids Airport car rentals. You can even cross into neighboring Canada and Mexico with these vehicles, and you only need to inform your provider to get the necessary insurance for driving in these countries.
  • Book your car hire at Cedar Rapids airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

My flight was delayed due to bad weather over the Rockies, and by the time I arrived at my destination their booth was closed. I tried calling them 3 times during the day to alert them and no one answered (kept on hold every single time). They did not attempt to call me, and also did not leave the keys for my pick up. I ended up stranded at the airport trying to find transportation to my hotel. Awful experience.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I booked this reservation about a week before I arrived. Found out about 4 days before that I would be unable to keep the reservation. I could not cancel online and had to wait for 20 minutes to talk to a rep who tried to charge me $100 cancellation fee!! Ridiculous. Won't use Hertz again. I then told her it was covid related and she waived the $100. Guess a lie is what is required!!!!

The car itself was fine for what we needed but we paid double what we were quoted due to undisclosed fees. Overall, won't be doing it again.

Avis left before I arrived at 1130. I called Hotwire and they said they talked to Avis people next day at location, but impossible because they were closed. So I got gouged by Hertz. Will never use Hotwire, Kayak or Avis again
