Where can I go on a road trip from Madison?
Madison offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and head off to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • Chicago is around 120 miles from Madison. Well-known tourist attractions like Wrigley Field should be high on your list while you're in town.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Madison with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare costs, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Combine your Madison car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Madison?
Madison requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Madison?
While requirements can differ between outlets, the two key things you'll need are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What is the cheapest car rental in Madison?
With prices as low as $43 and $48 a day in Madison within the past seven days, you'll be zooming off with your own amazing deal before you know it. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Madison?

Where can I find a Madison car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Madison supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Great news! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Madison?
You should have collision damage protection to safeguard your Madison rental car against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, it's easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24-hour emergency help and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get all your money back.
