Cheap National Car Hire in Rapid City

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Rapid City, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Rapid City by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays.
