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. Iowa law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Beware of deer, as they can be a hazard, especially during dawn and dusk. 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.
  • You will experience difficulties driving on most of the roads in Muscatine during rush hour, which occurs around 7 am-9 amand 4 pm-6 pm on weekdays. 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. It's advised to drive cautiously during snowstorms and check local weather updates. Additionally, springtime can bring rain, potentially affecting road conditions. Staying informed about weather patterns and adjusting driving habits will ensure safer navigation through Muscatine's varying traffic and seasonal challenges.

They handle well on local streets and highways, offering good fuel efficiency. Given Muscatine's mix of urban and suburban areas, a compact or mid-size sedan is a practical choice, ensuring easy navigation, convenience, and cost-effectiveness during your explorations in the city and its surroundings.

  • Where are the best places to park in Muscatine?

    When using car rentals in Muscatine, you can park your car in downtown areas, which offer both street parking and public parking lots, often free of charge. Downtown streets might have time limits, so check signs. Be mindful of alternate side parking during snow emergencies. For instance, while paid parking isn't common, some events or private lots might charge a nominal fee. Parking at private lots can vary in cost, but it's generally affordable. Expect to pay around $1 to $2 per hour or a flat fee of $5 to $10 for longer stays.

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.

The car was not safe and should not have been rented. It had a bad shake starting at 50mph. Right rear tire was bald as in no tread left. After calling multiple times I talked with the person at rental counter, she told me they didn’t have any other vehicles and advised me to keep driving what I had. Explained the tire was not safe and she suggested I call road side assistance and they could direct me to a tire shop I could take the car to for repair. Since it’s not my car I didn’t think I should have to spend my time waiting on repairs at a tire shop. I ask if she could call me when they had another vehicle, she agreed to do that. Never heard back from her. Basically she didn’t care.

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.
