Car Rental in Cedar Rapids: Your Guide to Affordable, Hassle-Free Rentals

Need a rental car in Cedar Rapids? Whether you're picking up a vehicle for a weekend road trip, need a loaner while your car is in the shop, or want an affordable option for out-of-town visitors, finding the right car rental in Cedar Rapids is easier than you might think.

Here's everything you need to know about renting a car in the Cedar Rapids area — including tips for getting the best rates.

Where to Rent a Car in Cedar Rapids

Local Dealership Rentals

Here's a tip most people don't know: Cassill Motors rents vehicles directly. This is often the most affordable option because you skip the airport fees, the vehicles are well-maintained, and the rental process is straightforward. Our rental fleets typically include late-model SUVs, sedans, and vans — the same vehicles we sell, so they're kept in excellent condition.

How to Get the Best Car Rental Rates in Cedar Rapids

Book Direct and Book Early

Booking directly on our site will give you the best rate and the most flexibility for changes or cancellations.

Choose the Right Vehicle Size

Don't rent more vehicle than you need. A mid-size sedan is perfect for most in-town errands and short trips. Save the full-size SUV and 15 passenger vans for when you actually need the space.

Ask About Weekly and Monthly Rates

If you need a rental for more than a few days, always ask about weekly rates. This is especially relevant if your vehicle is in the shop for an extended repair.

A valid government ID

Road trips — Heading to Des Moines, Chicago, or the mountains? A rental saves the wear and tear on your personal vehicle, and you can choose something with better fuel economy or more cargo space for the trip.

Test-driving a lifestyle — Thinking about upgrading to an SUV or minivan? Renting one for a weekend is the best test drive you'll ever take.
