KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waukee

  • Opting for car rentals in Waukee, Iowa, over public buses or taxis offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility, allowing you to explore the city on your terms. With a rental car, you can effortlessly reach attractions like the Dallas County Stadium, a major sports venue, without relying on schedules or multiple transfers. Therefore, you will have more time enjoying the destination and less time waiting. Embrace the freedom to navigate Waukee comfortably, saving time and gaining a more profound, personalized experience of the city's offerings – a privilege unmatched by public transportation options.
  • One of the best pickup locations for Waukee car rentals is Des Moines International Airport (DSM), the city's primary airport. Upon arriving at DSM, access to car rentals is effortless. Car rentals are in the Rental Car Facility (RCF), across from the terminal building. The RCF is easily accessible and connected to the terminal via a skywalk on the second level. Clear signage guides you to the rental counters, ensuring a smooth transition from your flight to your chosen rental car. This proximity streamlines your journey, providing quick access to Waukee and its attractions.
  • Remember to adhere to local traffic regulations for a safe journey when driving car rentals in Waukee. Iowa law mandates that children under 6 must be secured in an appropriate car seat. Waukee's driving style aligns with courteous, law-abiding practices, reflecting the city's friendly atmosphere. Motorists tend to follow traffic rules and maintain moderate speeds. Exercise caution, especially near schools and residential areas. While drivers generally respect traffic regulations, staying vigilant and patient is wise. Embracing these considerations ensures a pleasant and responsible driving experience while exploring Waukee's charms.
  • You will likely experience some challenges using car rentals in Waukee, one of them being difficulties navigating, notably at complex intersections like the Alice's Road and Hickman Road junction, especially if you are new. Rush hours, typically 7 am-9 am and 4 pm–6 pm, increase traffic congestion along significant routes like Warrior Lane and University Avenue. Staying cautious, using GPS, and planning travel outside peak hours can help overcome these hurdles and ensure a smoother driving experience while exploring the city.
  • Standard hire cars in Waukee are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average

Standard SUV

KAYAK
I canceled my rental two days ahead of time of pick-up as that is what I thought I read, in order to receive all of my money back. I did get it back. I only wanted an SUV to make sure we could get through a snow storm as my wife had to drive 100 miles to pick up our son at Christmas. There was no snow so I didn't need the car. Next time, I will rent the vehicle a couple of days out instead of having to rent and cancel. I have rented vehicles from that location at least three times and always had a good experience. ....thanks
