Top tips for hiring a car in Wisconsin

  • If you’re planning to rent a car while vacationing with family and friends, it’s best to choose one or two designated drivers, since many car-rental companies in Wisconsin charge a daily fee for each additional driver they register. The fee applies even if the person never gets behind the wheel. If you’re renting a car in Wisconsin, you should double-check about this policy with your car-rental company of choice; some car-rental agencies waive the fee if the additional driver is a spouse.
  • Before renting a car, you should shop around for car insurance. Most rental companies in Wisconsin provide their clients with suitable car insurance policies; however, not every insurance policy suits every person the same. Before you choose any car insurance, you should make sure you thoroughly understand the terms first. Purchasing rental coverage from your personal vehicle insurance company is a great option, since you will have an already-established relationship with them. It’s worth noting that with rental insurance from your personal vehicle insurance company, you can be more confident that you’re getting good value for your money.
  • There are over twenty car-rental locations in Wisconsin, and these do not include the car-rental facilities located at airports. Therefore, finding satisfactory rental cars shouldn’t be too stressful a task. If you’re visiting the state and arriving via plane, consider renting a car from an airport car-rental facility. This is a convenient option because you’ll be able to return the car right before your return flight. Many people love the convenience of arriving at the airport and getting a rental car as soon as they arrive in Wisconsin. If you choose this option, you’ll be able to drive away from the airport with all your luggage safely in the trunk of your rental car.
  • To legally rent a car in Wisconsin, a person must present a valid driver’s license with expiration date at least six months after the rental period. In lieu of driver’s license, it might be possible to present other forms of photo ID. If paying with credit card, your card must be from a recognized bank. Photo ID and payment information must be presented at the car-rental company when the driver picks up the car.
  • Book your rental car in Wisconsin at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Wisconsin are around 48% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Wisconsin

  • Should I hire a car in Wisconsin?

    If you’re visiting Wisconsin, renting a car is a smart choice for in-state travel. You will find it much easier to explore the state with luggage in tow. Another important point is that you’ll be able to save yourself sufficient time with a rental car, as you won’t have to wait around for public transportation.

  • What is driving like in Wisconsin?

    Wisconsin is a very safe place to drive, and you shouldn't have a problem adjusting to the roads. All the essential signs and speed limits are placed in plain view, and if you need help with anything travel-wise, there are many law enforcement officers available to help. They are always happy to assist. Since there are a good number of parking garages and lots where you can leave your Wisconsin rental car, it's safe to say that in this majestic region of the country, you'll always be able to locate a convenient and secure parking spot.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in Wisconsin?

    The legal age to drive in Wisconsin is sixteen years old. However, most car-rental companies in the state will only rent their vehicles to people twenty five years and up. Therefore, in order to rent a car in Wisconsin, you should anticipate that the renter must be at least twenty five years old. However, if you'd like to rent a car and you’re not yet twenty five, all you need to do is hire a professional driver. Since most car-rental companies have contact information on file for these professional drivers, finding one to hire should be a feasible task.
