Car Rentals in Lincoln

Lincoln is the capital city of Nebraska and the second-largest city in the state. Lincoln is Nebraska's center of government and higher education and is a regional retail and transportation hub. But in spite of its large size, this diverse metropolitan area retains a friendly, small town feel. Like most cities in the Midwest, destinations tend to be spread out and public transportation is limited, making a Lincoln rent a car a great way to get around. Look for great deals on Lincoln car rentals and save time and money to enjoy popular local attractions like the Nebraska State Capitol, Sunken Gardens, University of Nebraska Husker football games at Memorial stadium, Minor League Saltdogs games at Haymarket Park, or enjoy free Jazz music at the beautiful Sheldon Art Gallery sculpture garden. Lincoln car rentals are available downtown (usually for better rates than those at the airport) from several national chains. Lincoln Airport (LNK), located 4 miles northwest of downtown, offers flights to Denver and Chicago via United Airlines, and Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis via Northwest Airlines. If you fly in here, car rentals are provided in terminal by Enterprise, Budget, Alamo, Hertz, Avis, and National. Try Enterprise for the lowest rates, followed by Budget and Alamo. Some prefer to fly into Omaha Eppley Airfield Airport (OMA), served by all major airlines, and usually offering cheaper airfare. Shuttles from OMA run to Lincoln, and car rentals are provided in terminal by Enterprise, Thrifty, Dollar, Alamo, Budget, Avis, National and Hertz. Try Enterprise for the best deals, followed by Dollar and Alamo. You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Lincoln 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).
