Omaha is the largest city in the state of Nebraska, located in the Midwestern United States on the Missouri River, about 20 miles north of the mouth of the Platte River. The city is nicknamed the "Gateway to the West." The metro area is a mix of small town hospitality rooted in a rich pioneer history and a growing high tech industry and an increasingly diverse population. Like most cities in the Midwest, destinations tend to be spread out and public transportation is limited, making an Omaha rent a car a great way to get around. Look for great deals on Omaha car rentals and save time and money to enjoy popular area attractions like the annual College World Series, the Henry Doorly Zoo, Omaha Sound, and the city’s many restaurants, jazz venues, and historic landmarks. Omaha car rentals are available downtown (usually for better rates than those at the airport) from several national chains. The city is served by Eppley Airfield Airport (OMA), 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 Omaha 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).
