KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Janesville

  • Janesville car rentals have several advantages compared to buses and taxis, which are also quite popular among travelers in the city. Renting a car makes it easier for you to move around the city with your personal items, the car serving as a mobile store.

My family and I experienced car trouble on the way from Chicago to Wisconsin Dells. The gentleman at Avis was extremely accommodating to find us a vehicle to support our party plus all luggage. It was an excellent experience and will certainly seek out rentals from Avis in the future.

After reserving a car for the following morning on-line, we were called to inform us they had no car available. It was a computer error. They offered no assistance to find a way for us to get back home. We had to rent a 10 foot U-Haul truck to get back home. Never again will we use Kayak or Avis/Budget rent a car.

6.0 Okay

I was a hour early to pick up the car they had a good size inventory of the full size cars like I rented but since i was early and if I wanted to rent early I would get a UPGRADE. In other words instead of getting a cleaned up Toyota camray or similar that gets 36 mpg they gave me a dirty uncleaned or washed suv that got 18mpg. What a upgrade at $4 per gallon on a 500 mile trip. I figured about a extra $72 dollars in gas for the bus to take one person. Other than that it was ok.
