Top tips for renting a car in Milwaukee
Whether you’re picking up your car at the airport or from downtown Milwaukee, a rental car is one of the best ways to explore the area and beyond. Here’s how to get road-ready and maximize your time when driving a rental car in Milwaukee.
How does airport pickup work at Milwaukee International Airport?
Picking up your rental car from Milwaukee Airport is quick and easy. You'll find the parking spot location on the Turo app. Once you land, simply exit baggage claim, head to the parking area, and find your car. Inside, you’ll find a ticket to exit the lot and you’re good to go. For in-person handoffs, meet your host in the Surface Lot and use Location Sharing on the app to save time.
How does drop-off work at Milwaukee International Airport?
When returning your car rental, head back to the airport parking lot no earlier than four hours before your trip ends, or as allowed by the permit.
Leave the parking ticket in the vehicle and message your host via the app with the location, including the section and stall numbers. Be sure to lock the car and place the keys in the lockbox.
If you're dropping off your car rental in person, head to the Surface Lot, stay with your car until your host arrives, hand over the keys, and you're all set.
How far is Milwaukee International Airport from Downtown Milwaukee?
Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is about 6 miles south of downtown, making it a quick 10-minute drive.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Milwaukee?
In Milwaukee, always buckle up, have your driver’s license handy, and follow the usual US traffic light rules.
Keep an eye out for high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes marked with a white diamond sign. Some will have a number like HOV4, which indicates how many people need to be in the car to use the lane.
When driving, always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, cyclists in bike lanes, and cars that arrive at a four-way stop before you. If you get there at the same time as another car, give way to the one on your right.
Leave 20 feet of space for school buses that are loading or unloading, or when their lights are flashing. And if driving past a public or private school, slow down to 15 mph.
A few more speed limits to note:
- Within city limits: 35 mph
- Highways outside city limits: 55 mph
- Interstates, freeways, and expressways: 65 mph
What is parking like in Milwaukee?
Parking in Milwaukee is easy to navigate, with metered street parking, parking garages, and some free options available, making renting a car hassle-free. Street parking is usually metered from 6 AM to 9 PM, while parking lots are available in certain areas. Be sure to check posted signs for time restrictions.
You can also park at Lakeshore State Park, which offers free parking and scenic views, or near Bradford Beach, which is generally accessible, especially on weekdays. The main parking lot at 2400 N Lincoln Memorial Dr has 200 spaces and is free from 6 AM to 9 PM.
Are there toll roads in Milwaukee?
None — so there is no need to pay tolls electronically unless heading beyond Wisconsin.
Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee has plenty of gas stations in convenient locations throughout the city. Local fuel prices fluctuate, so keep an eye out for competing prices once you're on the road. With over 100 EV charging ports, many of which are free, these are also easy to come by.
A few spots to park and charge your electric rental car include:
- ChargePoint at Schlitz Park – 1555 N River Center Dr
- ChargePoint at 833 E Michigan St – Downtown Milwaukee
Do I need to rent a car in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee’s downtown is walkable and well-covered by The Hop streetcar and local buses, but if you're planning to bounce between beaches, parks, and neighborhoods, public transport can fall short.

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.
