Some car rental companies in Des Moines do offer accessible rental cars. These include Avis, Enterprise, Budget, and Hertz. These companies offer wheelchair-accessible vans for rent with features such as lowered floors, automatic ramps, and tie-downs. It is important to note that the availability of accessible vehicles may vary by location and reservations should be made in advance. Additionally, drivers may need to have a specific endorsement on their driver's license to operate a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. There may also be additional fees for renting an accessible vehicle, such as a surcharge for the specialized features and equipment.
It depends on the rental car company's policies and the type of rental you have. Most rental car companies have restrictions on returning rental cars to a different location without charging additional fees. If you have a one-way rental, you are allowed to return the rental car to a different location than where you picked it up, but you will need to inform the rental car company at the time of reservation and pay a one-way fee. If you have a regular rental, you may be able to return the rental car to a different location, but the rental car company may charge an additional fee for this service.
