Madison car rental providers have a wide range of vehicles. Therefore, choosing your car should be easy and fun. Similarly, the city roads are well-developed, allowing any car type to drive. In that case, the choice of your car type depends entirely on your needs and destinations. The city has many off-road destinations you can adventure. Look for an SUV if you want to travel to Madison off-road locations, but an economy is recommended for solo travelers. Consider the vehicle’s safety and fuel efficiency.
Bear in mind that the speed limit in Madison varies, depending on the road you drive. Observing these speed limits saves you from the city’s harsh speeding punishment. Unless posted otherwise, the speed limit when driving your car rentals in Madison is 70 mph on rural and urban freeways, 30 mph on residential streets, 55 mph on two-lane and undivided roads, and 65 mph on divided highways. Pay attention to the posted speed limits to avoid speeding charges. Drive slower than the stipulated speed on the S-curve of public highways.
Finding parking lots when driving Madison car rentals can be challenging because of limited parking options. To this end, consider booking a Madison hotel with parking lots to beat the stress of looking for one. Sheraton Madison Hotel, The Edgewater Hotel, Fluno Center, Madison Marriott West, The Livingston Inn, and Graduate Madison offer free parking service if you stay on their property. Metered parking lots are available in downtown Madison. Consider checking spots in the industrial area. Parking charges vary. But it costs around $2.00 per hour.

Apr 2021
Pros:
I liked the comfort of the car and it's cornering. The staff was very nice and accommodating.Cons:
I HATE all the assists on the car. It would constantly grab the wheel and forcibly turn it back into the lane if I got too close to the line. I also could not figure out the display panel without reading the manual. Also, the wait time at the Gallatin Pike office was exceedingly long. We had to wait for them to go pick up a car from the lot and it took a long time.9.6 Wonderful
Nov 2020
Pros:
Great staff, very friendly and personable. We did receive an upgrade since they didn’t have our size requested available and it was much appreciated! Everything was great. Our only “hiccup” if you want to call it that was that they didn’t have a chance to fill up with gas before we got there but they told us that up front and wasn’t an issue at all. They said to just bring it back with however much in it. Will definitely rent from here again. :)Cons:
Everything was great!6.4 Okay
Jun 2020
Pros:
The agent explained the basic operations of the vehicle, which was really helpful as I always have to search to figure each new car's set-up.Cons:
Other than a sign to state that we could not enter the office, there was no indication of where to stand outside so there was confusion on who was next in line to be served. Additionally, it was extremely sunny and hot and there were no coverings or shade to wait in. The agent did not inform me that the rental drop-off location in DC that was on my reservation is currently closed due to COVID-19, so I didn't know that I had to drop-off the vehicle at a completely different location than I had selected.10.0 Wonderful
