Car was in great condition, directions to pick up and drop off car was great. Honestly, I would rather do this app/style of car rental than sitting through the BS car rental companies have you do when checking in for the car to try making more money.

Rent the perfect car
When the weather’s nice, take some time outside at the Gordon Bubolz Nature Preserve. The preserve features plenty of outdoor hiking trails, along with a small natural playscape meant for kids 0-12. In Appleton for winter? There’s skiing, too. With seasonal events throughout the year, there’s something for just about everyone at the Gordon Bubolz Nature Preserve.
Whether you want to fish, camp, or have some waterfront fun with food and live music, Lake Winnebago is a fine place for it. It’s Wisconsin’s largest lake fully within the state’s borders, with plenty of space for plenty of people. Camp out under the stars or just relax on the water. Whichever part of the lake you need to get to, a rental car can take you there.
Start a magical evening in downtown Appleton’s Houdini Plaza. Harry Houdini himself lived right there at the corner of College Avenue and Appleton Street, earning the “front yard of downtown Appleton” the name of Houdini Plaza. With 55 events each year from summer concerts to food festivals and the downtown farmer’s market, you’ll never be bored or hungry!

A car rental in Appleton lets you drive anywhere in the Fox River valley to Green Bay and beyond. If you’re not an Appleton resident, though, you might wonder how you’ll do driving in America’s Dairyland. Here are a few tips to get the most out of your Appleton rental car.
The roads in Appleton tend to be pretty calm, with speed limits of 25 mph in residential areas. Speed limits elsewhere can vary depending on the actual usual speed of on-street traffic, so be sure to watch for signage.
More importantly, Appleton gets 32 inches of rain per year, along with 41 inches of snow annually. If you’re visiting during winter or the forecast says there will be rain, you may want to search for a chunky SUV as your rental car. Regardless of your choice, keep your wits about you and drive carefully in storms.
Appleton has plenty of parking at local businesses, but downtown gets a bit more complicated. There’s still ample parking—more than 3,600 spots!—but it’s not always free. Street meters take both coins and debit/credit cards with a fee of $1 per hour and a limit of 2 hours. They’re enforced Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm. Appleton lets you use the Passport Parking app to manage your meter without having to run back. Plus, parking is free after 6 pm, on Sundays, and on holidays!
You’re in luck: Wisconsin doesn’t have a single toll road.
With plenty of gas stations and EV chargers throughout Appleton, chances are you’ll never run out of fuel. Wherever you take your car rental, Appleton has a place to top up just a stone’s throw away.
Renting a car is always a good idea when it comes to visiting Appleton. Downtown has great activities, but Appleton is part of the larger Fox Cities metro area, and a car helps you discover all of it. Instead of waiting on public transit, book a rental car on Turo and get those wheels on the road.
