Key Rental Locations and Options

Saving Tips
- Compare airport vs Bellevue city pickups. Airport counters add roughly 10 % in concession fees. Factor in the $25–35 rideshare from OMA to a city branch and see which combo really wins.
- Book 2–4 weeks ahead, but lock in earlier for June's College World Series when fleets vanish fast and prices spike. Use free-cancellation rates so you can pounce on later price drops.
- Play with pickup days. Shifting your rental to start on a Monday or Tuesday (outside summer) often knocks a few bucks off compared with weekend pickups.
- Stick to economy or compact cars. Bellevue–Omaha streets are wide, parking is easy and gas mileage is better, so you'll save on both daily rate and fuel.
- Skip pricey add-ons. Use your phone for GPS and stream your own tunes instead of paying for rental company extras.
- Refuel before returning. Fill up at local stations (Costco near Bellevue is usually cheapest) to dodge the high per-gallon fees charged by rental desks.

FAQs
Where's the best place to rent a car for visiting Bellevue?
If you're flying in, the easiest place to rent is Omaha's Eppley Airfield, where you'll find all the major rental companies. If you're already in Bellevue, local rental offices like Enterprise can rent you a car without the airport fees.
Do I need a car in Bellevue?
Yes, we highly recommend renting a car. Public transportation is limited, and most attractions, shops and restaurants are spread out. This makes a car the most practical way for visitors to get around.
Can I return my rental car outside of business hours?
Most rental companies at the airport (OMA) let you return cars after hours. Locations in Bellevue may have shorter hours, so you should ask your specific rental company about their after-hours rules and drop boxes.
What documents do I need to rent a car in Bellevue?
You'll need a valid driver's license and a major credit or debit card in your name. If you plan to use your own car insurance, bring proof of coverage because some companies may ask to see it. You can also buy insurance from the rental company. International visitors should bring their passport and we recommend getting an International Driving Permit if your driver's license is not in English.
