Top Tips for Hiring a Luxury Car in Des Moines

  • Des Moines does not have a particularly large public transportation system in place other than a local bus system, resulting in Des Moines luxury car rentals being one of the best ways to move throughout the city. With Des Moines luxury car rentals, you will have the ability to travel in both style and comfort, while also being able to save time and stick to your own schedule. Plus, you will be able to drive to some interesting places that are a bit more removed from downtown Des Moines, like the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden.
  • If you will be flying into Des Moines International Airport (DSM), you can always pick up your Des Moines luxury car rentals from here. The airport has its own small rental car center that is found directly inside the Arrivals area of the Main Terminal. Some of the major rental companies that you will find in this center include Alamo and Enterprise. Each company keeps its respective fleet in the airport’s parking area.
  • Driving in Des Moines is usually a simple endeavor, but it is still important that you read up on a few tips before getting behind the wheel. It is not uncommon to encounter wild animals on the road, so always keep your eyes open for these in order to avoid getting into an accident. Also make sure to be particularly careful when driving at night, as not all roads in the city are very well-lit.
  • It is important to make sure that you adapt your driving to the season that you are driving in. Des Moines often has rain, snow, and ice during the winter, so you will want to make sure that your car is properly equipped with working windshield wipers and tires that are designed for snowy conditions. During the fall, the roads can be slick as well and the sun is lower in the sky, so make sure to have sunglasses and lower your speed.
  • 25% of our users found a luxury car hire in Des Moines for S$ 97 or less
  • Book your luxury car hire in Des Moines at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

This is very simple. I understand that Hertz has rules and parameters that they operate in. When all of those are met the rental car experience should be smooth sailing. The Des Moines office was one of the worst places I’ve ever been for a rental car. I called customer care and and the representative told the gentleman at the desk to honor my reservation however he refused. I do not know him personally and I have never met him. I wasn’t rude. With all they said the guy at the desk still refused to rent me a car after two hours of going back-and-forth. Finally I was able to get my car. The context of this is that all flights were canceled and delayed out of the airport going to Chicago. The gentleman at the desk refused to let me rent a one-way rental to O’Hare airport on a debit card nowhere does it State that I can’t do that. I was well aware of the $500 hold and was OK with that. I had my own car insurance State Farm and everything should’ve been smooth. I even had a reservation. I used a third-party website kayak. I read all rules carefully. Nothing stated that I could not rent a one-way rental from one airport to another with the debit card. I hated the experience. It was embarrassing, strenuous and flat out wrong. The reason I didn’t call corporate or further pursue some satisfaction with this situation is because I wanted a cooling off period. I still feel wronged and am rather disgusted by the entire process.

Where to begin? Picked this car up around 9:30pm. I had already driven away from the rental facility when I noticed a couple of problems with the car. Firstly, the petrol tank was not full but only 7/8 (the gauge is misleading at first sight). But worse than that was that one of the safety features (the Active Lane Management system) was not working at all and flagged up a warning that the vehicle needed servicing to repair it. Then, when returning the car less than 18 hours later, the system at the Hertz counter would not initially accept the return of the vehicle due to excessive mileage of some 21,000 miles that I supposedly had driven in those 18 hours. This turned out to be a mistake on the outgoing mileage which instead of 23,000 had been logged into the system as 2,000. This was eventually resolved by the staff at the counter, but just added to the feeling that this was a dreadful rental.

The agent at the desk could not have been more annoyed that I had rented from Payless (vs. Avis or Budget). She says they do everything by paper, so they don't actually have the cars in stock that Kayak rented to me. She was incredibly rude. And that was after the terrible surprise of arriving at an airport I use all the time to find that they've moved their rental cars off-site and didn't have enough buses to shuttle people there, so everyone was shoving each other -- in IOWA!! Terrible experience, won't do it again.

Friendly counter staff, but they were making everyone scan a QR code and give them a 5 star review before they would give you a car. Very odd. They also charged way too much for this car but I needed it and they were the only ones with cars. It’s a fine line between charging what the market will bear and price gouging. The car was smaller (and cheesier) than what I ordered. It was like driving a Coke can. Finally, when my plans changed and I needed to return the car early, they would not refund the difference. They cited a paragraph in their contract, which was literally far too small to read. Overall not a good experience.

When I arrived at the counter, I was told that I could not rent a car because I had not arrived on an incoming flight. This was never mentioned prior to my arriving to pick up the car. I needed the car for a family emergency, and no other companies had cars available. I will never try to rent from American again. I will also not likely ever use Kayak again.
