Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Fort Dodge Regional Airport (FOD)?
Hertz is a quick commute from the terminal and the only car rental option. Book your ride as soon as you've set your travel dates to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Palmer car reservation?
Read over the rental policy to be certain, but most prepaid bookings are eligible for a complete refund if you let us know at least six hours before the scheduled collection time. There are some exceptions though. Your confirmation will have more details, or just visit our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Palmer?
Keep it simple with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the top pick in Palmer. They're easy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're cruising around bustling cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a bit more comfort and room at a price that's still affordable.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Palmer?
At least 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements you should know about before you book your Palmer wheels. If you're a younger driver, rental providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of cars you're able to rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between outlets. Take a few moments to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Palmer?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between providers, so it's wise to check the terms and conditions.

Yes. We partner with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every square inch of Palmer — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Palmer car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are in Palmer. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
