Dane County Regional Airport

Even if you’re taking a spur-of-the-moment trip, you can find vehicles on the same business day you schedule your rental. And if you’re flying into Dane County Regional Airport, you don’t have to travel elsewhere first — or wait at the airport car rental counter for your keys. Your car will be there, ready to go.

At your location

For your convenience, especially if you schedule a drop-off for the following business day after you book, you can have the vehicle owner meet you at the address you enter, such as your hotel. Keep in mind that having the driver meet you often costs more. However, it could be a convenience you’re willing to pay for if you’re far from the owner’s home or airport. Be sure the owner is available before relying on this option.

At their home

For car owners in the area, you can visit them at their location to pick up the car. The process is the same as picking up a car at the airport. You show your ID, and you’re good to go in your rental.
