KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bettendorf

  • Car rentals in Bettendorf have several advantages compared to public buses and taxis, which are the other two popular transport options.

Family Museum and Middle Park are some of the places you can conveniently visit using a rental car in Bettendorf. It is cheaper to rent a car than using taxis, if you will be connecting to several within and outside Bettendorf.

The price quoted by Kayak was not the price that came up at the rental agency. A long delay ensued while the agent got permission to charge me the quoted rate.

Gas hog. Was supposed to have full size car, not Jeep which got less than 30 mpg. Neither USB port worked, using my phone's GPS used all my phone battery before arrival at my destination. Tried to stop at 2 Hertz locations in Dayton, neither had a clue what to do to fix it. One offered to switch vehicles but would take another hour. Couldn't do that or I would be late to my destination.

Pros:

The process was super easy and the staff made me feel comfortable.

Cons:

The cars really could be cleaned better considering what is going on. I was assured when checking in that the car would be thoroughly cleaned but it was clear that it wasn’t. The interior was covered with dirt on the dashboard and the car smelled like smoke.

We were told that we could change the drop-off location from a residential area to the airport, but on the day of drop-off, were told that there would be a six-hundred dollar fee to do so. Say whaaaaa????? We drove to the airport anyway, explained the corporate greed mistake, and the very nice atytendent waived the fee. Car renters BEWARE of unexpected and spectacularly high drop-off change fees and get something in writing before you sign on the line,that there will be NO extra fee to change the drop off location.
