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.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Davenport for $44 or less
  • Standard rental cars in Davenport are around 35% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What is the speed limit in Davenport?

    There are variations in speed limits in Davenport, but those near residential areas are set at 20 mph. The speed limit on major city streets is 25 mph. Outside of the city limits, car rentals in Davenport should comply with the 55 mph speed limit. Davenport expressways and interstates have a speed limit of 65 mph. It is advisable to adjust your speed reasonably and prudently during harsh conditions such as winter when roads are slippery due to ice. Davenport uses speed cameras for both red-light and speed regulation at eight locations all along the main highway system and major city streets.

  • What documents do I need in order to pick up a Davenport car rental?

    Those renting a car in Davenport will need to provide a valid driver’s license as well as a credit card in their name. If you are under the age of 25, you will also need to pay an extra fee for being underage at the time of renting the car. Under-age drivers are also limited to the type of car that they can rent.  If you are not a US citizen, you will likely also need to show a valid passport and an International Driver’s permit if the language of your driver’s license is not English.

  • Where are the best places to park in Davenport?

    Davenport has thousands of parking spaces. All on-street parking areas in Downtown Davenport are free for 2 hours, and you can access three parking ramps to help you to find a spot quickly. If you plan on staying for an extended period of time, parking ramps are still the best option.

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.
