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$ 82 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

Cons:

The vehicle we had reserved had been "given away". We were given an upgrade; however it was not very comfortable. We had reserved a vehicle we knew we would be comfortable in for the long drive. Vehicle was dirty inside - used our own wipes to sanitize. Windshield wipers did not work properly. Was stressful on day 2 of the drive in the rain.

The person I spoke to on the phone, after my initial flight was canceled, could not have been less helpful, or more condescending.

There was no rental experience with Budget because despite having a confirmed reservation, their counter was closed when I arrived. My flight was delayed getting in. Myself and others had confirmed reservations but the employees left for the evening. Thankfully Hertz was open and had a car for me. Hertz was a great experience.

Cons:

Will never use them again. Insane after-the-fact price hijacking and terrible service. I have been renting cars several times a year for years. I had never used Payless before but needed to book something about a week in advance of the date. It was about $300 to book for 3 days which was already expensive but when I picked up the car they tacked on another full day because they charge by the “24 hours” not by the day, which was already absurd. They would not budge on the cost, which was a surprise upon pickup. When I picked up the car the total came to over $600! For 3 days with a car! They wouldn’t explain the Huge increase except that it was a high demand time and that’s just the cost of the car. Awful experience. Will stick with the better name brands that are fair and honest about pricing.

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.
