Tips for renting a car in Nebraska

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Nebraska including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on December 18, 2024.
  • Anyone traveling with a small child will want to be aware of Nebraska’s car seat laws before getting behind the wheel. The state of Nebraska requires all children who are less than eight years old to ride in a federally approved car seat. Additionally, children must be in a car seat that faces the rear of the vehicle from birth up to at least 2 years of age or until they hit either the height or weight limit that is allowed by the manufacturing company. Children who are older than eight and less than 18 years of age must use a seat belt, no matter where they are sitting in the car.
  • You can generally drive a rental car from Nebraska to another state, such as South Dakota, Iowa, or Missouri. Many rental car companies allow customers to travel across state lines, but it's essential to check the specific policies of the rental company you choose. Some rental companies may have restrictions or additional fees for out-of-state travel, so it's crucial to inform them about your travel plans and confirm any extra charges beforehand. Additionally, make sure that you comply with the laws and regulations of the states you plan to visit, including insurance requirements and traffic laws.
  • There are a few toll bridges and roads in Nebraska, such as the East Spur of the Nebraska Turnpike, which connects Nebraska to Iowa. It's important to be aware of signs and toll booths if you plan to travel on specific bridges or highways, as toll charges may apply. In order to avoid any unexpected fees, make sure to speak with your rental company to see if you need to pay toll fees on your own, or if they will be automatically added to your bill at the end of your rental period.

Car rental FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Nebraska, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on December 18, 2024.
  • Should I rent a car in Nebraska?

    If you plan to stay within major cities like Omaha or Lincoln and your activities are primarily within these areas, you can usually rely on public transportation. However, if you plan to explore rural areas, national parks, or other attractions that are not easily accessible by public transport, such as the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, renting a car will be necessary. There are also not many public transportation options for traveling between cities, so having access to your own vehicle is the best option for exploring larger parts of the state.

  • What is driving like in Nebraska?

    Nebraska is known for its well-maintained roads and highways. The infrastructure is generally in good condition, making for a comfortable driving experience. Traffic congestion is not a significant issue in most parts of Nebraska, except in larger cities like Omaha and Lincoln during rush hours. Outside of these cities, you can often enjoy relatively open roads and smooth traffic flow. Nebraska experiences varying weather conditions, including hot summers and cold winters. In winter, snow and ice can affect road conditions, especially in rural areas. It's essential to be prepared for changing weather conditions and to drive cautiously during winter months.

  • How old do you have to be to rent a car in Nebraska?

    The minimum age to rent a car in Nebraska and most other states in the United States is typically 21 years old. However, renters aged 18 to 20 may be able to rent a car but might face additional fees and restrictions, and they are often limited to certain types of vehicles. Rental companies have their own policies regarding minimum age requirements, additional fees, and the types of cars available for younger renters.
