SIXT Car rental in Wisconsin
Those traveling to this great state can pick up a car rental in Wisconsin from one of our convenient locations like the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE). Bookable add-ons like child seats and SIXT flexible booking options can make your trip more comfortable. Wisconsin is known as America’s Dairyland, but it’s famous for more than just its cheese, and car hire in Wisconsin is the best way to see it all. Whether you need a long-term rental or are just here for the weekend, we’re here for you.
Driving tips for Wisconsin
When you rent a car in Wisconsin, you can explore America’s Dairyland to the fullest. Just remember these recommendations for a smooth drive:
- HOV lanes: The high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are marked by white diamond signs and a number that indicates how many people must be in the vehicle to use these lanes.
- Winter weather: Wisconsin can be subject to severe winter weather. Be sure to check the forecast before heading out during winter, and opt for rentals with all-wheel drive.
- Share the road: When driving in cities like Milwaukee, you’ll share the road with pedestrians, cyclists, and buses. Don’t drive in bus or bike lanes and always watch for people on foot.
- Road conditions: While the roads in Wisconsin are in good condition, there may be more twists and turns than you’re used to. Slow down and use caution when going around tight turns, and always leave enough distance between you and the car in front of you.
These as well as our other tips for driving in Wisconsin will make your trip even easier.
Best places to visit in and around Wisconsin
When you get a rental car in Wisconsin, you can explore the state from one side to the other, including:
- The Harley-Davidson Museum: Here, you will walk through the history and cultural significance of the brand. You can even learn to ride a motorcycle. Parking is on-site.
- Devil’s Lake State Park: This inland state park is about two hours from Milwaukee by car. Swimming, boating, hiking, and camping are all available in and around Devil's Lake.

Good to know when renting in Wisconsin, WI
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.
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.
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.
Vehicles rented at most SIXT locations in the contiguous United States may be driven throughout the contiguous states. Travel into Canada must be in accordance with our geographical restrictions, which can be found in our rental information. Travel to Mexico is not allowed. If you drive outside authorized areas, a fee of $0.50 per mile will apply.
All renters and authorized drivers must present a valid, unexpired, original driver’s license at the time of rental. Renters with a non-U.S. driver's license may also need to provide a valid passport or other government-issued ID. Licenses in non-Roman alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must be accompanied by an international driver’s license. If the license is from a country not in the international driver’s license treaty, an official translation is required. See our rental information for full driver’s license and age requirements.
