Driving tips for Milwaukee

Being up to date on local driving culture and road features gives you the best experience with your rental car in Milwaukee:

  • Weather: Winter weather like snow and ice are common in Milwaukee. Check the forecast before hitting the roads. Ask about winter car accessories like snow chains.
  • Cyclists: Milwaukee is known for its cycling culture, so be aware of bike lanes and cyclists that will share the road with you. Exercise caution when turning.
  • Event traffic: The Deer District surrounding Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum is known for drawing crowds during sporting events, which may increase traffic. Be sure to plan your route accordingly.
  • Obey speed limits: City streets generally have a speed limit of 25 mph, while highways in the city can range between 55–65 mph. Keep alert for road features like speed bumps and raised crosswalks, which are designed to keep drivers in accordance with speed limits.
  • Move over: Wisconsin observes the Move Over Law, which requires drivers to shift to the left lane on highways or reduce speed on single lane roads as a safety buffer for stopped emergency, law enforcement, and towing vehicles.

We rented a car in Milwaukee at the airport. I reserved on line which I found to be more complicated than other rentals but was extremely happy with your agent at the airport on March 26. Her name is Kayla and she was professional and personable and took me through the process. Our return was on March 29. We returned the car with London, who again was warm, personable and professional. We were quite impressed

Good to know when renting in Milwaukee, WI

Is a deposit required to rent a car?

Yes. SIXT places a temporary hold on your credit card at pickup for the amount of the deposit. For payments with debit cards, please refer to our rental information for more details about deposits. The amount depends on the location and vehicle. Please check for more details on payment information in this article.

How much is the rental car deposit?

In the U.S., generally a minimum of $200 will be charged to the payment method for security purposes. The deposit for high-value vehicles may be higher. Non-airport locations in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Illinois have higher minimum authorization amounts. Additional details on the deposit can be found in this article.

Can I book a specific car model?

Reservations are by vehicle category (“or similar”), not by an exact model. When a "guaranteed model" option is shown for your dates and location, selecting it reserves that specific model. Otherwise, you’ll receive a comparable car in the same group with similar size and performance subject to availability.

The exact mileage policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process, so you’ll know what’s included before pickup.
