KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in La Crosse

  • La Crosse is the largest city in Wisconsin; therefore, getting around may be easier with a rental car than other public transportation. Several other benefits come with renting cars. With a rental car, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want, and whenever you’d like to go out. Therefore, La Crosse car rentals are suitable for convenience when traveling around La Crosse city. You can visit various attractions in the city at your pace. Get your car, drive to Wisconsin Great River Road, and see the thirty-three Mississippi River towns where you can go hiking, paddling, fishing, and other outdoor activities. If you are visiting the city Mid-May, you can experience the Apple Blossom Scenic Drive or go for Oktoberfest if you are visiting La Crosse end of September.
  • Most travelers who visit La Crosse by flight land at La Crosse International Airport (LSE). The airport is about 6 miles from La Crosse city center, so you have to get ground transportation to access many places in the city. One ideal means to use are La Crosse rental cars, making it easy to move around at your convenience. The car rentals in La Crosse companies include Alamo, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, National, and Hertz. You can rent a car from any of these car rentals in La Crosse agencies at the baggage claim area in the airport’s terminal.
  • La Crosse has wide roads, especially in the downtown areas. Driving, therefore, is simple. However, ensure you drive within the speed limit and look out for pedestrians, bikers, and cyclists as they share the same roads with vehicles in certain avenues and parts of the city.
  • La Crosse roads are busy, especially on weekdays. When using a rental car, ensure you get through with your errands before or after the congestion hours. The traffic has a medium flow which means you can get to your destinations at a slower rate. If you are using the University of Wisconsin road, ensure you do so any day apart from the move-in week, as the streets get heavy traffic during such times.
  • Book your rental car in La Crosse at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Disappointing.

Pros:

I liked that there was another rental company nearby.

Cons:

Place was closed at the hour booked. They had changed their hours and didn't update the website or Google maps. There was just a printed message with the new hours. Luckily was able to rent from a different company.

Pros:

Staff was awesome, vehicle was used previously by a heavy smoker and truck reeked of smoke. This is not a reflection of the local enterprise, it’s a smell that is very difficult to get out of the vehicle.

We had a faulty tire. We drove out of our way to swap out cars only to be told there were none in stock (after customer support had directed us to that location).
