Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Iowa?
Fun road trip adventures in Iowa await, with daily car rental rates starting from as little as AU$81. That's based on prices found within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Lake Charles Regional Airport (LCH)?
You can choose from a fantastic range of rental car companies within a short distance of the airport. Enterprise, Budget and Alamo are top picks for many travellers. National Car Rental and Avis are a couple of other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Iowa car reservation?
We know that plans change at short notice. That's why most prepaid rentals offer a complete refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before the pickup time. Your rental agreement should have all the info you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
Where can I go on a road trip from Iowa?
Once you've ticked off the great attractions in Iowa, there's plenty more to discover in the surrounding region. Collect the keys to a rental car, throw your bags in the trunk and hit the open road. Here are some road trips we think you'll love:

  • Baton Rouge is 177 kilometres from Iowa. Top-rated sights like Raising Cane's River Centre should be high on your list here.
  • Next stop? It has to be Lafayette, which is around 97 kilometres away. Cajundome is one local highlight you won't want to miss.
  • Visit Moody Gardens to rediscover nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From Iowa, it's 209 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Iowa with Expedia?
Check ratings and reviews, choose your car type and compare prices from top suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Iowa car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive away with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Iowa?
The youngest age you can rent a vehicle in Iowa is 21. A surcharge for young drivers usually applies, so check before booking and take into account any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some outlets will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between providers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Iowa?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Iowa, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
What is the cheapest car rental in Iowa?
Iowa has no doubt had some very happy rental car customers lately. Daily prices within the past seven days dropped as low as AU$81 and AU$88. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Iowa?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then book a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Iowa or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find an Iowa car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Iowa, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Iowa with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
