KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cape Girardeau

For divided roads that have a concrete median or something similar, the maximum speed limit is also typically 70 mph. If you are in a more residential neighborhood or area, you can plan on the maximum speed limit being around 40 mph. Schools areas and areas with construction zones usually have a speed limit of 25 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park a car rental in Cape Girardeau?

    The city of Cape Girardeau is known for having plenty of free street parking to choose from, but it generally fills up quickly, so you will want to start looking for a spot to park your Cape Girardeau car rental early in the day. There are also quite a few different parking lots and garages that can be found downtown. Pricing for these paid options is typically done by the hour, but this will vary depending on the exact location. Many private businesses, like hotels, restaurants, and shops, will also have private parking that customers can usually use at no cost.

Pros:

Drop-off and pick up is easy. Car was good, nothing wrong with it.

Cons:

Car wasn't as clean as the first time I rented, which was back in January of this year (2021). Booked a Camry but somehow the staff told me that the make/model was not guaranteed, so I was given an Altima. The deposit got bumped up $100 for debit card users, did not know that. First time renting here was amazing, the second time is only half as good of an experience because the first time I got a personal touch form Enterprise by receiving text message from a customer staff asking if I had any questions regarding my rental, and that lady was super helpful answering all my concerns. I did not get any customer support text second time, so that was kind of sad.

Pros:

The staff, customer service person named Lauren who was extra helpful and timely answered all the questions pertaining to the rental and return process at Enterprise, which is amazing. Would definitely rent from Enterprise again if they keep having a person reaching out to rentees to check on things, very neat.

Cons:

It was great.
