I like Hertz. Easy pick up but car wasn't great and it was a bit pricey. I always like how they get me in and out.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best way to get an inexpensive rental car in Ankeny?

Seeking the best car rental rates? You've come to the right spot. Get the most savings on your tip to Ankeny by doing a few things:

  • Compare the prices of vehicles
  • Try to avoid pick-ups or drop-offs at airports, which can cost more
  • Know ahead of time how much fuel/mileage you may use
  • Search and reserve as far in advance as you can

Make sure you go through the rental policy before you reserve your vehicle.

What kind of vehicle should I rent while in Ankeny?

With so many vehicles to choose from, it may be hard to decide which vehicle is the best for your visit. Nevertheless, keep in mind your needs and the number of people you're riding with. Our table below can help you select which car is the best one for your trip.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Ankeny?

The youngest age to rent a vehicle in most cities, like Ankeny, Des Moines, is 21. Be aware that there is ordinarily an additional charge if you or the added driver are under 25 years of old. Check with the rental car company before you book. Moreover, for higher categories, such as premium, large capacity vehicles, or SUVs, the age restrictions can be different.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car?

The majority of countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to purchase temporary insurance with the car rental company. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Many major credit cards (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) typically provide some coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Ankeny.

What fuel policy should I go for in Ankeny?

Most rental car suppliers give you a full tank. At CarRentals.com, we advise bringing the car back with a full tank of gas. If you want to keep your expenses lower, you should find a filling station before you return the car to the supplier. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Do most providers offer one-way rentals in Ankeny?

Most car rental companies offer one-way rentals. Depending on your itinerary, you may find it easier to drop off your car in a different area. Be aware that there is generally an extra fee for one-way car rentals.

Why should I get unlimited miles in Ankeny?

Most suppliers offer unlimited miles, but you need to ensure it's part of the bundle that you are purchasing. It's useful to know how much you want to drive and plan your trips in advance. Although most rental car companies offer unlimited mileage, if it isn't part of your package those miles can pile up and so can the extra cost. You may want unlimited miles if you are hitting the open road to explore what else is in Des Moines.

Once you've checked out Ankeny, you'll be happy that you have your own car. There are some worthwhile stops around Des Moines that are just a drive away. Need a suggestion of where to start your trip? The Better Homes & Gardens Test Garden can make for a fascinating afternoon.
