KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sioux Falls

  • Nature lovers will enjoy a visit to Falls Park, the Butterfly House ,and the Great Plains Zoo in the city of Sioux Falls. There are also numerous scenic drives that you can take in and around the Great Plains. This includes a short drive to Omaha, Nebraska along Lewis & Clark Scenic Byway with its views of lakes, rivers, hills, and farmland.
  • Sioux Falls Regional Airport is located in eastern South Dakota. Many large airlines operate out of this facility which offers connections to and from most major airports. For added convenience, there are restaurants, shops and car hire agencies at the airport. With offices really close to baggage claim, you’ll find it easy to pick up and return your hire.
  • There are several roundabouts in the city that are supposed to help with traffic backup and improve safety. Sioux Falls is also a pedestrian-friendly town with narrow lanes throughout the downtown and shopping areas. In the winter months this city can get hit with lots of ice and snow, which require safer and more cautious driving practices.
  • Peak travel times in Sioux Falls are similar to those in other cities. In the morning commuters typically travel from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. However, the roads have the most congestion from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. In the evenings you’ll want to limit your travel between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. because of rush hour traffic.
  • Book your rental car in Sioux Falls at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Sioux Falls are around 10% more expensive than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Sioux Falls 
Verified travelerOct 2024
Just know you MUST have a CREDIT card for renting from Enterprise if you wish to rent an 8 seat or more. What is strange is the 7 seated suburban is literally the exact same vehicle as an 8 seat suburban minus a seat, but Enterprise calls it a "premium" vehicle for the extra seat. I can understand the 12 or more seated vehicles being a "premium" vehicle. What about mini vans that seat 8, why is that not "premium"?

Traffic is easy. We were slightly confused as we rented from Enterprise and the car was from National….not that it mattered. All was good!

Between Kayak and Enterprise, it needs to be more clear that renting an 8 seat or more vehicle needs a credit card. We were not even able to rent the vehicle because according to Enterprise, in order to rent an 8 seat suburban a credit card is needed. I was able to secure our rental online with debit card only no problems and it was stated to use the same card upon pick up as I did with booking. Unfortunately, this was not the case. If I can book with a debit card for an 8 seat or more than I should be able to pay with the same debit card, otherwise make it more clear when checking out or do not allow it. The first 4 numbers are different for a credit vs debit card so a computer can easily make the distinction upon online booking. This caused unnecessary frustration and unfortunately no vehicle rental from us as we do not own credit cards, we pay with cash or debit card. PLEASE, make this clear upon online booking or at the very least make it clear that a CREDIT card must be used when checking out a larger 8 seat vehicle; this was found only in the small print FAQ later.

Hertz rental agent was not wearing a mask even though he works inside the airport! Car rental process was quick, but I would not recommend them since they don’t follow masking requirements.

Pros:

This should have been very easy. It is a small town and usually courteous and friendly.

Cons:

Due to bad weather I had to re-route my trip from Minneapolis to Omaha. I was travelling to SD for a funeral. Sadly when I tried to get online at the airport for a car at the airport it only showed availability for the city. Computers rule! counter at airport was not helpful. I had to call to get help. Then when I got to Sioux Falls because I had to rent a one way drop off they made me drive back to Sioux Falls one day later to switch cars. It seemed like they could have given my car for Monday to the one-way and just let me keep the car that I came from Omaha in. It was all a big mess!!

The moron at the budget counter ran my card twice without telling me, which led to it being declined twice for fraud detection. He didn’t allow me to talk to my bank and tell them that i was traveling before running the card a second time, which resulted in me not getting a car at all. It was midnight and all other car rental places were closed at that point. I then had to uber and hitchhike to my friends wedding. A disaster. Never using budget again.
