Daily rental prices were as low as $28 within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising around Brainerd in your own set of wheels is an affordable way to visit the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my Brainerd car reservation?
Good news! You should be eligible for all of your money back if you let us know at least six hours prior to pickup time. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations will receive a refund though, so it’s a good idea to scan the policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Brainerd?
Inexpensive, zippy and fuel-efficient, it’s no wonder compact cars are the most booked type of rental in Brainerd. Drive around this city in one of these and you’ll be able to park in tight spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city getaways or shorter road trips.

It’s possible that this is included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for and whether you need it.
