KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Omaha
- Omaha largely grew to be what it is today during the Automobile Era and, as a consequence of this, it is most suited for personal vehicles. Visitors will be best off renting a vehicle, as public transportation is not widely available, and it is almost always much quicker and more efficient to drive. To give an example of this, driving from downtown Omaha to the northside of town (7 miles) takes just 11 minutes by car but takes 40 minutes by bus.
- If you are like most travelers, you will probably be picking up your hire car after landing at the airport. In the case of travelers landing at Omaha Eppley Airfield, there are 24/7 shuttle buses that will take you from the Arrivals Terminal to the adjacent hire car areas.
- Winter in Omaha can bring piles of snow that, while beautiful and great for snowballs, aren’t the best for inexperienced drivers. However, it is easy enough to drive in; you just have to drive a bit slower than normal and with a bit more care. One thing to take note of is that it will take longer to break and come to a stop in snow compared to normal conditions.
- Omaha’s rush hour starts in the morning around 7:00 a.m. and runs until 9:00 a.m. and in the afternoon it picks up again around 3:00 p.m. and finishes up after 7:00 p.m. Though this is a lengthy amount of time, congestion isn’t actually too severe, so trip times are only moderately impacted. The Kennedy Freeway is often one of the more impacted areas during rush hour so it is best to avoid it, if possible.
- Book your rental car in Omaha at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Omaha are around 21% more expensive than other car types, on average

Pros:
Staff was great on pickup. I picked it up at night and walked around the car to inspect for dings. I did not notice a small ripple in the front panel due to the darkness. When I returned the car they accused me of producing the damage. I wish there was a camera system or something that could end this subjective inspection process with rentals. It’s too difficult on business travel to manage a faulty inspection process. What’s to stop rental companies from sneaking in these minor ripples that will go unnoticed for night pickups and stick consumers with faulty claims?6.8 Okay

Oct 2020
Pros:
Staff were great and super helpful. Rental counter was quick and courteous. Return process was super fast and easy. The car functioned great, was upgraded with all the newest features and was great on gas.Cons:
The inside of the car was super clean, but there were some weird marks on the driver's side window that interfered with visibility a bit. Ultimately wasn’t a huge issue but maybe would have taken the time to remove that before renting it.3.2 Poor
Sept 2020
Cons:
I chose the option where the company chooses the car. They put me in a Hyundai Accent that wasn’t clean at all and had 40,000+ miles on it. I took pictures before of the outside because it was all dinged up and dirty. When I dropped off the car they were looking for r the outside and commented about dents and dings on the outside as if I did them. I showed them the pictures I took and they stopped asking. Poor service. Felt taken advantage of since I choose the option for them to choose the car even though the price was on a couple dollars less then the normal price.8.4 Very good
Aug 2020
Pros:
Pick up was a bit of a challenge, O’Hare is a bit of a maze to get to the car rentals. However the car was super clean and new, and the drive went without a hitch! The staff were friendly and helpful, the underage fee was higher than listed online (around $40) but overall not too much pricier than a flight.Cons:
If additional fees were listed online it would make for fewer surprises at checkout.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

May 2021
Pros:
Staff at the booth helpful, but billing was completely different than he explained. There was a $50 no cancellation fee charged that should not have been applied. The agent also told me that if I returned the car by 7:30 Sunday night, I would be charged for one less day ($30 less). So I was over billed a total of $80 on this rental agreement.Cons:
They need to say what they mean, and back it up with their words. I tried calling them Monday, May 18, stayed on hold for over 30 minutes, then disconnected when an agent finally answered. Because of this experience, we will not use Avis again. I also have to question Kayak on this as well.Budget

First, their computer didn’t work at check-in. Then, it was a typical “bait and switch”. I reserved a “standard” size vehicle (advertised as a Chevy Malibu or similar) but got a Kia Soul, which I hate.The car wasn’t clean, the gas tank was only half full when got it. Never again with Dollar!National

Pros:
Counter Staff was amazing. Very customer oriented at the time of rental.Cons:
Car smelled of marijuana once it sat out in the sun. I called this in Day 1 after the car was sitting in the sun and the smell was overwhelming. As soon as I got through being on hold the representative told me they noted the smell to my account and then they hung up. I wanted to swap cars, but I did not have time to call back as I was travelling on business. Then when I returned the car they emailed me my receipt. Upon review of the receipt I was charged for a tank of gas when I had turned the car in with a full tank. Called the local number on my receipt ... Put on hold..... Then hold again for them to verify .... "They made a note and corporate would email me in 3 to 5 days, the charges are already in." So in a nutshell dirty car and overcharged.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The new Nissan Pathfinder was the best rental car I've driven, great choice! I needed something bigger than a mid-size SUV, but I didn't want a big Tahoe or Suburban, so the Pathfinder was the perfect size and a wonderful leather interior. I'll be back hoping to get the same in the future!Cons:

Cons:
I rented the car on line for a stated rate. When I arrived at the counter I was charged a higher rate. The counter attendant pointed out that the online vendor did not charge enough in fees. When I pointed out that, that was not problem and that I should get the lower rate, she told me that she would send my appeal to a supervisor for review. I received an email the following day with a commitment from the supervisor to honor the online rate. So while it worked out well, I was surprised by the disjoint between the online quote and the Thrifty direct price.8.4 Very good
