  <copy>Iowa is a state in the Midwestern state in the US, know for friendly people, rural farmland, and a rich Native American and settler history. Like most states in the Midwest, destinations around the state tend to be spread out, and public transportation is limited, making an Iowa rent a car a great way to get around. Look for great deals on Iowa car rentals and save time and money to enjoy popular attractions like the Amana Colonies, Effigy Mounds National Monument, the Antique Car Museum, Lewis &amp; Clark National Historic Trail, and Cedar Rock.

Iowa&#8217;s largest cities include Des Moines, the capital, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, and Sioux City. Iowa car rentals are available at major airports from most national brands, many of whom offer additional locations downtown (usually for better rates than those at the airport) from. If you fly into Des Moines Airport (DSM), car rentals are provided by Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, National, and Avis. Try Thrifty or Dollar for the best deals, followed by Enterprise. If you arrive at Cedar Rapids Airport (CID), car rentals are provided by Enterprise, Alamo, National, Hertz, and Avis. Try Enterprise and Alamo for the lowest rates, followed by National. Visitors to western Iowa arriving at Fort Dodge Regional Airport (FOD) can rent a car on site from Hertz. 

You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Iowa rental car agencies (although some will take a cash deposit depending on a credit check), along with proof of insurance if you decline the vendor's coverage options. Usually age requirements for a rent a car are 21 for compact and economy cars, 25 for all others, and an additional young driver charge may apply for anyone under 25 (select agencies will rent to qualifying individuals over 18 for an additional fee). Drivers who are used to warmer climates should be advised that the colder weather months (Nov-Feb) often bring snow and ice to area roads. Visitors who park their cars should be prepared in case their car is &quot;snowed in&quot; by snow removal trucks. Also, strict attention to parking rules and snow emergencies is recommended to avoid being towed away at the car owner's expense.
