KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Muscatine

  • Car rentals in Muscatine have the key benefit of more flexibility and convenience when exploring different parts of the city. Unlike limited public transport, a rental car allows easy access to offroad attractions like Pine Creek Grist Mill, Wildcat Den State Park, Mississippi Riverfront, and Weed Park, among others. With a car, day trips to nearby places like the Amana Colonies or Herbert Hoover National Historic Site become effortless, creating a more personalized travel experience. It is cheaper to rent a car than to hire taxis each time you want to visit different sites.
  • Quad City International Airport (MLI), which is 65 miles away, is the main airport serving Muscatine. This airport is one of the best pickup locations for Muscatine car rentals. At MLI, car rental companies such as Avis, Enterprise, and Budget are located in the public terminal inside exits 6 and 7 on the east end, near baggage claim. Checking rental policies, booking in advance, and having a valid driver's license and credit card are essential. Although Muscatine lacks an airport, the proximity of MLI offers travelers an easier way to secure and access rental cars for their journey.
  • Driving car rentals in Muscatine is generally easy, but a few tips can enhance your experience. Watch out for cyclists and pedestrians, especially around downtown and residential areas.

Follow speed limits and be cautious on rural roads where farm equipment might be present. Overall, courteous driving, adherence to traffic rules, and awareness of local conditions will ensure a safe and pleasant journey in Muscatine.

During these times, U.S. Route 61 and Iowa Highway 92 are among the most affected roads. Additionally, winters can pose challenges due to potential snowfall and icy conditions, with roads like U.S. Route 61 and city streets may be impacted.

Gas hog. Was supposed to have full size car, not Jeep which got less than 30 mpg. Neither USB port worked, using my phone's GPS used all my phone battery before arrival at my destination. Tried to stop at 2 Hertz locations in Dayton, neither had a clue what to do to fix it. One offered to switch vehicles but would take another hour. Couldn't do that or I would be late to my destination.

They are charging me for fuel when the car was filled before returning. When trying to get it reversed they’re shorting me the charge by 9 dollars.
