KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Madison
- Car rental in Madison is a great way to add more flexibility to your journey compared to if you travelled using an alternative mode of transport such as a bus. With a hire car, you can come and go as you please, as well as travel directly to your destination. For example, you can drive to Verona in about 20 minutes. This same journey via bus takes close to 50 minutes, and normally requires a transfer along the way.
- Madison Airport (MSN) is one of the closest terminals to the city and is a great location to collect your hire car from. Once you have arrived at the airport and passed through Customs, you can locate the car hire agencies easily. For instance, Alamo is located in the airport terminal, whilst Hertz can be reached via a free shuttle. Your Madison car hire company will then ask you to complete your paperwork, show ID and pay before they take you to your vehicle.
- Car rental in Madison is a great way to explore this city. Drivers are relaxed and polite, which is ideal if you are new to driving on the roads in the city. It’s worth remembering that, even though jaywalking is illegal in the United States, you might get unknowing tourists crossing in areas that aren’t designated for pedestrians. For that reason, you should drive with vigilance in the centre. Madison usually experiences a lot of snow in the winter months, which can make driving particularly hard. If it has been snowing, you should only drive if it’s considered safe to do so.
- When driving a Madison hire car, you will find that there can be lots of traffic jams, particularly during rush hour when the locals are heading to and from their places of work. This is normally from about 6:00 to 9:00 and around 15:00 to 17:00. If you don't like driving on the roads with lots of cars, it’s recommended that you don't drive at these times and instead use the roads in the late morning and early afternoon. One road that gets very busy is Highway 51, which travels through the heart of the city. An alternative, and perhaps quieter route is a back road, such as Williamson Street.
- Book your rental car in Madison at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Madison are around 115% more expensive than airport locations on average
- Standard rental cars in Madison are around 16% cheaper than other car types, on average

Audilis, Aug 2020
Pros:
Price and fast serviceCons:
First car was cleaned but had the maintenance light on and a low pressure tired. The second car was not not too cleaned. Also, I wanted to add an extra day but they would charge me more than twice instead of honoring the same price.6.0 Okay
Trevor, Aug 2020
Cons:
Our car was damaged after we returned it. Unfortunately, we didn't take pictures after we dropped it off and are being charged for it. I understand their policy, and they can do what they want, but it puts a damper on our experience.10.0 Wonderful

Dane County Airport Agent was on point with her details everything was ready for me. Durning this pandemic, vehicle was wiped down prior and could smell the cleanest when I opened the car door. When I dropped off in Charlotte Airport, the attendant was professional. Thank you Alamo!Cons:

Pros:
The staff at pickup was overloaded. Fastbreak was very slow.Cons:
Fastbreak could have been quicker. The car had a terrible Cigar odor that caused me an the passengers to feel sick to our stomachs. We had to periodically open the windows to try to mitigate the cigar smell and sick to stomach feeling. I'm requesting a credit towards a future car rental. Thank you.10.0 Wonderful
