Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Lambert-St. Louis Intl. Airport (STL)?

What types of cars can I rent in Imperial?
Dash around in a nifty mini, style it up in a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the preferred choice in Imperial. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're road-tripping around busy cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that's still nice.
Where can I go on a road trip from Imperial?
Imperial is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to one place. Organise a set of wheels and head off to explore the surrounding region. Here are some ideas:

  • Make your way to Springfield for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 177 kilometres from Imperial, it has loads of great attractions such as Illinois State Fairgrounds.
  • Next stop? Consider Columbia, which is around 177 kilometres away. Mizzou Arena is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
  • Find your way to Starved Rock State Park to feel grounded in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Imperial, it's 354 kilometres away.

Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Imperial?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Imperial?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Imperial, so don't hestitate to extend your hard-earned holiday! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and book your perfect ride.
Where can I find an Imperial car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find an Imperial supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
