When deciding what type of car you would like to rent in Cedar Rapids, consider opting for a spacious SUV. The city’s streets are known for being wide, so you won’t have any issues driving around town. This type of vehicle will also help you drive safely in snow and ice during the winter months, and it will be a comfortable choice for longer road trips.
Along Highway 380, the speed limit can be anywhere from 55 to 70mph depending on your exact location and if there is any construction at the time. All streets within the city limits have a speed limit of 25mph unless otherwise stated. If you are near a school, the maximum will most likely be 20mph. Many of the town’s main intersections have traffic cameras, so make sure to follow driving regulations to avoid receiving a fine.
Many of the city’s on-street parking options are metered and can be used between the hours of 9am and 6pm. Meters that are considered to be in core areas have a fee of around $1 per hour, while those in non-core areas are about $0.60 per hour. There are also some off-street parking options, which are primarily parking garages, like the locations at Convention Center Ramp and 3rd Avenue Ramp. Some of these offer the first hour of parking for free and then charge around $0.75 per hour afterward.

I booked this reservation about a week before I arrived. Found out about 4 days before that I would be unable to keep the reservation. I could not cancel online and had to wait for 20 minutes to talk to a rep who tried to charge me $100 cancellation fee!! Ridiculous. Won't use Hertz again. I then told her it was covid related and she waived the $100. Guess a lie is what is required!!!!2.0 Poor

If I actually got the rental I reserved. They didn't even have the rental I reserved. So I was unable to accomplish what I was trying to do. Horrible that I reserved something and they didn't even have it when I showed up.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The gentleman who showed me the vehicle was very kind & funny.Cons:
The pick-up process was very long. I told to go to one location but when I got there found out that location was closed & to go to another location on the other side of town. When I got to that location I still had to wait nearly an hour before I was able to take the vehicle. The original pickup time was noon, but I wasn't able to drive it until 3:30 due to the vehicle "not being ready". Additionally, the drop off was very unorganized, I stood in line for more than 20 minutes until someone finally acknowledged me. It was then that I was able to hand them the keys & they will email me a receipt, but because they were short staffed I wasn't able to go over the vehicle with them in person Also, the location has very limited parking so there are vehicles scattered everywhere & stacked 4 deep in addition to parking on the side streets. This location seemed very unorganized & not very friendlyOne location in Cedar Rapids

Pros:
NothingCons:
My flight was delayed due to bad weather over the Rockies, and by the time I arrived at my destination their booth was closed. I tried calling them 3 times during the day to alert them and no one answered (kept on hold every single time). They did not attempt to call me, and also did not leave the keys for my pick up. I ended up stranded at the airport trying to find transportation to my hotel. Awful experience.10.0 Wonderful

Some Cedar Rapids car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Cedar Rapids.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Cedar Rapids car hire.
