KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Franklin

  • Car rentals in Franklin eliminate relying on taxis, rideshares, or public transportation. You can go wherever you want, whenever you want, without waiting for a ride or dealing with crowded transportation options. With a rental car, you can easily explore Franklin and nearby attractions, cities, and natural areas such as the Wehr Nature Center, the Boerner Botanical Gardens, The Rock Sports Complex, and the Oak Leaf Trail without hassle or great expense.
  • The General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) can be a fine choice when you want to get Franklin car rentals at an airport. This airport offers car rental services from around eight companies. You will find service counters for all of these companies on the airport's ground floor adjacent to the baggage claim area, and you will find that all cars sit outside the terminal at the exit from the baggage claim area. You can also return your vehicle to the same location.
  • In Wisconsin, unless otherwise indicated by a sign, you are generally allowed to make a right turn at a red light after coming to a complete stop in car rentals in Franklin. Seat belts are mandatory for all vehicle occupants, regardless of their seating position. Wisconsin law prohibits drivers from using handheld electronic devices while driving. Wisconsin has a "Move Over Law" that requires drivers to move over one lane or reduce their speed when approaching emergency or service vehicles stopped on the side of the road with their lights flashing. Given Wisconsin's cold winters, preparing for winter driving conditions is essential.
  • Typically, weekdays between 7 am and 9 am see increased traffic on main roads like West Loomis Road, West Ryan Road, and South 27th Street. Weekdays between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm can be busy, as well. You may also find more traffic during big annual events in the area, such as the Franklin Civic Celebration, the Franklin Harvest Festival, Fourth of July Celebrations, and the Franklin Beer, Wine & Food Festival.

  • What is the best type of car to rent in Franklin, WI?

    A compact car or sedan might be sufficient if you're traveling alone. Consider renting a midsize SUV or a minivan for larger groups or families to ensure everyone has enough space. If you're visiting during the winter months, having a car with good traction and possibly all-wheel drive can be beneficial to navigate potentially snowy or icy roads. If you plan to explore nearby natural areas or go on outdoor adventures, an SUV or crossover vehicle could be more suitable for navigating different types of terrain.

  • What are the speed limits in Franklin?

    The speed limit in most residential areas is typically 25 mph. Speed limits in school zones are usually reduced during school hours to ensure the safety of students. In Wisconsin, the speed limit in a school zone is often 15 mph when children are present, which is typically indicated by flashing lights on school zone signs. Speed limits in business districts can vary but are often around 25-35 mph, and on main roads and arterial streets, speed limits are usually set between 35-45 mph.

  • Where are some good places to park in Franklin, WI?

    Many commercial areas in Franklin, such as shopping centers and plazas, offer ample parking space for car rentals in Franklin. Places like Drexel Town Square and retail areas along major roads like West Loomis Road and South 27th Street usually have designated parking lots. If you're visiting parks, nature reserves, or recreational facilities in Franklin, they typically have dedicated parking areas for visitors. This applies to places like Wehr Nature Center and Whitnall Park. Public buildings such as the Franklin Public Library or the Franklin City Hall usually have visitor parking lots. Most street parking is free, but check for any posted time limits or restrictions.

It would have been nice to know that I needed a credit card to rent the larger van. I ended up with a smaller van in the end. I was a bit miffed that no one had informed me before I arrived to pick it up. Otherwise the service was very good.

The car pickup was at noon but the office closed at noon. This should not be possible.
