KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Rhinelander

  • Rhinelander is a small city located in the northern part of Wisconsin. The city has an abundance of natural beauty to explore as there are numerous state parks and forests, such as the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and the Three Lakes Chain, that are impossible to reach without a personal vehicle. Additionally, if you're interested in fishing or boating, local lakes like Boom Lake or Lake Thompson are much more easily accessible with a rental car. Renting cheap car rentals in Rhinelander also provides more flexibility in your itinerary.
  • Rhinelander Oneida County Airport (RHI) is the main airport serving Rhinelander, and it is about 4 miles from the center. The rental car offices at RHI are located in the terminal building near the baggage claim area. Lakeland Airport (ARV) is about 30 miles from Rhinelander. The rental car facilities at Lakeland Airport are also located in the terminal building near baggage claim. Wausau Central Wisconsin Airport (CWA) is approximately 79 miles southeast of Rhinelander. The rental car offices at CWA are located in the terminal building right after baggage claim.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Rhinelander requires some preparation and knowledge of local rules and regulations. Rhinelander is a small town with a calm and relaxed driving style. In addition, it is essential to watch out for wildlife on the road, especially during dawn and dusk when they are most active. Signs warning of deer and other animals are common along the roads. There are relatively few bicycles on the road and even fewer pedestrians who jaywalk. However, it's always good practice when driving to keep an eye out for people, bicycles, or other vehicles that may unexpectedly appear on the road.
  • Rhinelander is a relatively small city, and traffic congestion is generally not a significant issue. Rush hour traffic is generally only heavy during typical work commute times on weekdays, usually between 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm and 6 pm, particularly on Highway 8 and State Route 47, which are two of the main roads in and out of the city. The city is located in the northern part of Wisconsin, and winters can bring significant snowfall, icy conditions, and cold temperatures. This can make driving cheap car rentals in Rhinelander challenging, particularly for those who are not used to winter driving conditions.
  • Book your car hire in Rhinelander at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Rhinelander are around 11% more expensive than other car types, on average

Outside of the city limits, the speed limit increases to 55 mph on highways such as US-8 and State Highway 47.

  • Where are the best places to park in Rhinelander?

    Rhinelander has a relatively small downtown area, and parking options are plentiful. Many of the municipal lots in the downtown area offer free parking, including the lot at the intersection of Brown Street and Davenport Street and the lot at the corner of Stevens Street and Park Street. There are also some on-street parking spaces available throughout the downtown area, although time limits and metered parking may apply in certain areas during peak hours.

I like the locations for pickup and drop-off and the availability. I didn't like that they gave me a SUV after I said I didn't want one, the car was dirty and smelled terrible...

Car had some major mechanical problem. Made a very loud noise and shakes after 45 miles per hour. The location has very limited hours and I was stuck with a terrible car. Returned it, explained the issues and the agent couldn’t have cared less. Jair thanked me for letting him know.
