Gas Stations Near Airport

As soon as you've picked up your rental, there are numerous gas stations near the airport for you to fuel up for your journey. Look out for brands like BP and Speedway located within a 5-mile radius from the airport.

Driving Routes

Tips for Traveling in Iowa

While driving in Iowa is generally relaxed, make sure to be aware of the local rules and regulations to ensure a smooth trip.

• The speed limit on rural highways is usually 55-70 miles per hour but city areas might have lower limits.
• Keep an eye out for deer crossing signs. Iowa has a high population of wildlife and deer can unexpectedly cross roads.
• Remember that all passengers must wear seat belts while the vehicle is moving.

Local Climate & Currency

Iowa has a temperate climate with cold winters and hot, humid summers. Remember to check the local weather forecast before your journey and pack clothing appropriate for the forecasted weather.

As in the rest of America, the currency is the US dollar. Credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere, but it's always a good idea to have a small amount of cash at hand for smaller stores or tipping.
