- Drive conservatively on some of the roads in Sioux Falls known to be dangerous. 41st Street and I-90 are the most dangerous roads due to reckless driving. The intersection of Louise Avenue and 41st Street is also prone to heavy traffic congestion. Drivers often run red lights at the intersection of Sycamore Avenue and 26th Street.

Jan 2020
Pros:
This should have been very easy. It is a small town and usually courteous and friendly.Cons:
Due to bad weather I had to re-route my trip from Minneapolis to Omaha. I was travelling to SD for a funeral. Sadly when I tried to get online at the airport for a car at the airport it only showed availability for the city. Computers rule! counter at airport was not helpful. I had to call to get help. Then when I got to Sioux Falls because I had to rent a one way drop off they made me drive back to Sioux Falls one day later to switch cars. It seemed like they could have given my car for Monday to the one-way and just let me keep the car that I came from Omaha in. It was all a big mess!!9.2 Wonderful

Pros:
Upgraded to a nicer vehicle for just a few dollars more. Car was excellent, had many features and was fun to drive. I hated to turn the car back in. It was a great experience.Cons:
Drop off was confusing. The time for my drop off was before the counter opened - I was dropping off around 5:00 a.m. Other rental car agencies had signs about where to park the car for drop off. Avis had no signs. Eventually after circling the lot three times, I parked the car in a Avis spot. I figured they would figure out that it was a drop off.Budget
