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

  • While the city does have its own public bus service, it is quite limited, making car rentals in Cape Girardeau one of the best ways to explore the area. If you have access to Cape Girardeau car rentals, you can easily go to different neighborhoods without having to waste time waiting for the bus to arrive. You will also be able to see sights that are a bit far from the city center, such as the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center and the Cape Rock Park.
  • If you will be traveling to the area by plane, you can always choose to grab car rentals in Cape Girardeau directly from Cape Girardeau Regional Airport (CGI).

You will find a few different companies that have offices in the rental car center, including Enterprise Rental, Ochs Car Rental, and CCTA.
  • Cape Girardeau is a relatively small town that is generally easy to drive in. However, you will want to keep your eyes open when operating car rentals in Cape Girardeau in the downtown area, as there are quite a few pedestrians here, and you may come across jaywalking. You may also see quite a few cyclists, so keep your eyes open for these while driving a Cape Girardeau car rental.
  • During the summer months, you will likely see more congestion in central Cape Girardeau than usual, as this is typically when people visit the city. The streets also tend to have more traffic during rush hour, so try to avoid driving car rentals in Cape Girardeau during this time. In general, rush hour falls between 7:00 and 9:30 am and 5:00 and 7:00 pm During the winter months, Cape Girardeau often experiences snow, so make sure to drive any Cape Girardeau car rental with extra caution when in these conditions.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving car rentals in Cape Girardeau?

    Visitors that intend on primarily driving around town and sticking to the city center will usually find that a small car rental in Cape Girardeau is sufficient. Something like a sedan or compact model will make it easier to drive in traffic and squeeze the Cape Girardeau car rental into a tiny parking space.

  • What’s the speed limit when driving a car rental in Cape Girardeau?

    When you are driving on a rural freeway or interstate, the speed limit will be a maximum of 70 mph, unless otherwise stated. If you are on a freeway that is in an urban area, the speed limit will typically be a maximum of 65 mph. 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.

We were not informed of $300 deposit or info for proof of residency needed before we picked up. Rep insured me it was relayed to us but clearly it was not. Had to use credit card instead of bank card which is only minor inconvenience. 2nd rep who showed vehicle was outstanding! 2nd rep also handled check in and did fantastic job. Overall experience was very good. Will rent from Enterprise again if need arises.

Passenger van

KAYAK
I had the van rented for months and the day before supposed to pick up the van they called and said Ford was recalling all vans. They were not able to find another van or anything to compensate. When I would call the location in town or the one in St. Louis they acted like they didn’t care that it affected the vacation we had planned. They did not call to try and make it right. Went on vacation and saw the same type of van we had rented all over. They were not recalled. Since it was planned for months and had a good rate believe that lied to have it rented to someone else to pay more for it. Horrible customer service!!!!!!
