Tips for renting a car in Wisconsin

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Wisconsin including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on June 12, 2025.
  • Wisconsin is known for having rather extreme weather, with it being very cold during the winter and very warm during the summer. To stay as comfortable as possible during your adventures in the state, you will want to make sure that both your air conditioning and heating systems work in your rental vehicle before you leave the agency. These features will be essential for keeping you from either overheating or freezing and they are key to your road trip being bearable.
  • If you are interested in renting an electric vehicle during your time in Wisconsin, it’s important to take note of the charging stations that are available in the state. Wisconsin has over 300 charging stations that the public can use, but they are primarily centered in urban areas. If you will be staying in big cities like Madison or Milwaukee, you will have plenty of charging options. If you plan on being in more rural areas, an electric vehicle may not be the most convenient choice.
  • Those who will be driving children in their rental car need to make sure that they are familiar with Wisconsin’s car seat regulations. If a child is less than one year old, they must be in a car seat that faces the rear. Children that are between the ages of one and three can be in a forward-facing car seat. Those that are between the ages of three and eight can be in placed in a booster seat if they are a certain weight and height. As long as a child is less than 13 years old, they must always sit in the back seat.

Wisconsin is also known for having many beautiful road trip options, so you will want access to your own vehicle in order to embark on these.
