Car Rentals in Milwaukee

Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin, located in the southeastern portion of the state on the western shore of Lake Michigan. A Milwaukee rent a car is a great way to get around the "City of Festivals," and enjoy year-round celebrations like the annual lakefront Summerfest, the largest music festival in the world. Milwaukee is a vibrant multi-cultural city that offers visitors lots to do and see. Look for great deals on Milwaukee car rentals and save time and money to explore the area and see the “old world" historic district, take a stroll along the lakefront or go sailing on Lake Michigan, or take a tour of the Lakefront Brewery. Milwaukee car rentals are available downtown (usually for better rates than those at the airport) from Enterprise, Hertz, Budget, Thrifty, Dollar, and Avis. Try Enterprise for the lowest rates, followed by Hertz. Milwaukee is served by General Mitchell Field Airport (MKE). If you fly in here, car rentals are provided in terminal by Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Alamo, Budget, Hertz, National, and Avis. Try Thrifty for the best deals, followed by Dollar and Enterprise. Some travelers prefer to fly into Chicago airports (ORD or MDW), located between 1.5-2 hours away, because of better rates on airfare. You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Milwaukee 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).
