Cream City’s cool factor
The hipness of Milwaukee might be the best kept secret of the Midwest. Beer, biking, and underground music scenes have long been a part of the city’s culture, and Wisoncon’s biggest city couldn't possibly be anything other than warm and unpretentious.
Whether you’re in town for the epic Summerfest, to peruse the Milwaukee Art Museum, attend a Brewers game at Miller Park, or to explore the city’s beer heritage at Miller Brewery, book a car for your stay and see all Milwaukee has to offer.
Milwaukee favorites
If hanging out on the river and listening to live music just isn’t enough for you, dive into any of Brew City’s many cultural attractions.
Milwaukee Public Museum
For anyone who thinks history is boring, a trip through the Egyptian mummy hall and a traipse through the cobbled streets in the Old Milwaukee exhibit will change their tune.
Harley-Davidson Museum
The beautiful array of Harley motorcycles from across the decades is what brings in visitors of the daredevil and milquetoast variety, but everyone quickly gets caught up in the history and the interactive engine room.
The Pabst Mansion
See how the upper crust lived in 1892 on a tour of the 66-room mansion built by Captain Frederick Pabst, of the blue ribbon beer. If you look closely you’ll even find small hops detailing inside.

First time user and like the time saved verse using traditional rental cars.
Very helpful especially since i had originally put in the wrong pick up time.
Renting this car was my first time using Turo and it was so much better than I expected.

Hit the road
The whole green state of Wisconsin is yours to traverse freely when you book a car on Turo for your stay. During warm summer months, both the coast of Lake Michigan and inland Wisconsin hide treasures for the adventurous, so if you have a couple nights free during your vacation or business trip, make a reservation to hit the uncongested rustic roads of the rural upper Midwest.
Rent the perfect carMadison
The capital of Wisconsin also happens to be a lively eclectic college town, so it’s packed with whimsical high to low brow entertainment and eateries, plus the home of the University of Wisconsin is only an hour away along Interstate 94.
Door County
The picturesque Lake Michigan views from Door County are just one of the reasons it’s a go-to weekend escape choice. Head north on Interstate 43 for a camping or canoeing road trip that’s not far from the comforts of civilization.
Kettle Moraine State Forest
Make your way an hour north of the city limits for a day trip spent hiking this unique forest dotted with a series of small lakes that were left behind when ancient glaciers passed through.
Best Milwaukee driving roads
Highway 131
Point your Milwaukee car rental alternative west to Gays Mills to pick up this curvy crestline road that glides past Wildcat Mountain and through Kickapoo Valley State Reserve.
Great River Road
For a twirly, twisty riverside drive punctuated with bluffs for vistas, jump in your Milwaukee car rental alternative and sail through the towns along the Mississippi River.
Highway 2 through Ashland
While the Upper Peninsula is certainly not the nearest scenic drive to his in your Milwaukee car rental alternative, from Crystal Falls to Ashland, you’ll be wowed by the wide views of Lake Superior.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
