KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Davenport

  • Car rentals in Davenport are more practical for trips outside of the city center. Public transportation, such as the Citibus system, has patchy coverage, and some routes are not operational on holidays and weekends. Car rentals in Davenport will allow you to travel more quickly and comfortably and easily drive to areas like Deep Creek Campground, approximately 31 miles north of Davenport, or the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge, approximately 35 miles southwest of Davenport.
  • If you are looking for electric Davenport car rentals, you are in luck. There are several agencies that offer electric vehicles for rent, including Hertz. You can find electric vehicle charging stations in several places throughout Davenport, including the Shell stations on both W Kimberly Rd and Elmore Avenue. There are also several Tesla Supercharger locations throughout the city.
  • Travelers visiting Davenport will most likely fly into Quad City International Airport (KMLI). By car, the airport is about 9.5 miles from Davenport. KMLI has a car rental facility inside exits 6 and 7 on the east of the public terminal, near baggage claim, where agencies such as National, Hertz, Dollar, Sixt, Budget, Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise provide rental car services. You can return car rentals in Davenport at the airport site, east of the terminal.
  • Those travelers looking to pick up their cheap car rentals in Davenport near the city center will be pleased to learn that Enterprise has a branch about 2.5 miles from the downtown area on West Kimberly Road. If you are taking public transport from the city center to the branch, bus number 4 takes you directly there within 20 minutes. If you are taking a taxi, you will arrive there within about 10 minutes via N Marquette Street.
  • Driving on the outskirts of Davenport is relatively simpler due to the broad and well-tarmacked roads. However, it is best to keep an eye out for cyclists, motorcycle riders, pedestrians crossing the street, and people getting out of vehicles parked on the side of the road. Driving in the city center, on the other hand, is usually hectic. If you encounter traffic in the city center, stay alert and give others enough space. This will provide you with time to react if you come across other drivers who are braking late or performing sudden maneuvers.
  • Most people who are looking for Davenport car rentals will want to use their vehicle to explore the surrounding areas as well, such as Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. You can also take a road trip to Chicago from Davenport. You are allowed to drive out of state, but be sure to specify before picking up your rental whether you will be dropping the car off at a different location at the end of your rental period.
  • During rush hour, some Davenport streets become extremely congested, like on Charlotte Street and E 6th Street. Traffic picks up in the morning hours between 7 am and 9 am. and again between 4 pm and 6 pm. Since Davenport is home to Davenport University, St Ambrose University, and Eastern Iowa Community College, traffic congestion is worse when students are in session.

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.

The cars really could be cleaned better considering what is going on. I was assured when checking in that the car would be thoroughly cleaned but it was clear that it wasn’t. The interior was covered with dirt on the dashboard and the car smelled like smoke.
