What happens if I need to cancel my Central Iowa car reservation?
Don't stress. You should get all of your money back if you advise us at least six hours before picking up the car. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to read through the cancellation policy.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Central Iowa with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your car class and compare prices from leading brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Central Iowa car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Central Iowa?
Rental vehicle rules in Central Iowa require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many rental companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Central Iowa?

Where can I find a Central Iowa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Central Iowa providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Central Iowa?
For a smooth, stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against vandalism, accident damage and theft.
