Rent a Car in Green Bay for Great Value and Easy Getting Around

Compare competitive prices and use this practical guide to choose the best pickup location—GRB Airport or downtown—while avoiding fees and planning insurance, fuel, and winter driving with confidence.

Updated Travel Guide
Green Bay Car Rental Guide: Airport vs. Downtown Pickups
Renting a car in Green Bay is one of the easiest ways to explore beyond the city core—whether you’re headed to Lambeau Field, nearby state parks, Door County day trips, or business sites spread across the Fox River Valley. Public transit is limited for many visitor itineraries, and rideshares can add up during peak events (especially Packers game days). A rental car gives you predictable costs, flexible timing, and simpler access to hotels, suburban areas, and regional attractions. In winter, a vehicle with good tires (and optionally AWD) can make travel more comfortable, but it’s still important to drive cautiously in snow and freezing conditions.

Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) – Rental Car Center
GRB is the main airport for Green Bay. On-airport rental counters typically offer the most streamlined arrival-to-car experience, with longer operating hours than many neighborhood offices and easy access to I-41 for regional driving.
Downtown Green Bay (Washington St / Broadway Corridor)
Pros: Convenient if you’re staying downtown and don’t want airport fees; often less congestion than airport pickup; good for short local rentals. Cons: Limited hours (especially weekends/holidays), fewer vehicle choices during busy periods, and you may need a rideshare/taxi to reach the office.
Lambeau Field / Stadium District Area
Pros: Practical for visitors centered on games and stadium-area hotels; can reduce deadhead driving compared with airport pickup. Cons: High demand and pricing spikes on event weekends, limited inventory, and heavier traffic around kickoff and post-game times.

What do you need to rent a car in Green Bay?

Renting a car in Green Bay is quite convenient, but there can be some specific requirements, especially for foreign renters.

  • Form of ID: A valid physical United States national photo ID is required for the main driver and any additional drivers.
  • Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical U.S. driving licence with no major endorsements, held for at least 1 year.

    Notes: Note: Renters who have indicated a country of residence outside of the United States or Canada will also be required to present a return airline ticket.

  • Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required for payment and deposit. Accepted credit cards include Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, American Express, and in some offers UnionPay. Some offers also accept debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX). In some cases two credit cards in the main driver’s name are required. E‑voucher or printed voucher must be presented. If you rely on external Collision/Theft/Third‑Party coverage, you must provide printed proof of coverage from your card issuer or insurer.

Green Bay Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips, road conditions, and rental advice for your Green Bay adventure in Wisconsin

Can I use my foreign driver's license to rent a car in Wisconsin?
Yes, most rental companies accept valid foreign licenses. However, if your license is not in English, you'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a translation. An IDP costs about $20 and can be obtained from AAA before you travel. Without an IDP, police may issue a citation during a traffic stop, even if the rental company accepts your license.
How bad are Green Bay winters for driving? Do I need snow tires?
Green Bay averages 50+ inches of snow annually from November through March. Interstates and major highways are plowed regularly, but secondary roads can be icy. Snow tires are not legally required but strongly recommended October–April. Many rental companies offer winter-ready vehicles with all-season or snow tires—ask explicitly if booking a car during cold months. Budget extra travel time; I-41 and US-41 can become hazardous quickly.
I'm 22—will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much?
Probably yes. Most major rental agencies (Enterprise, Hertz, Avis) charge ages 21–24 an extra $20–$35 per day, sometimes called a "young driver" or "underage" fee. Some waive it for renters 25+. Check with your specific company—Enterprise occasionally waives the fee for AAA members or corporate accounts. Booking online in advance often gets you a lower rate than at the counter.
Are there toll roads near Green Bay, and how do I pay them?
Wisconsin has no traditional toll booths, but I-94 near Milwaukee (2+ hours south) uses the WisDOT transponder system. Rental cars usually come with a transponder—ask at pickup. Charges appear on your rental agreement, typically $3–$7 per trip. If you hit a toll without a transponder, you may receive a bill from WisDOT within 30 days at the rental company's address. Avoid the $30+ late fee by confirming your transponder status before driving.
How much is gas in Green Bay, and what refueling policy do rentals use?
Gas in Green Bay typically runs $2.80–$3.50 per gallon (2024 averages). Most rental companies use a "full-to-full" policy: you receive the car with a full tank and must return it full to avoid $8–$12 per gallon refueling charges. Some offer "full-to-empty" at a lower rental rate, but you pay 2–3x pump prices upfront and won't get a refund. Always check before signing.
What's the parking situation near Lambeau Field on game days?
Challenging. On Packers game days (8 home games per year), parking within 1 mile of Lambeau costs $40–$100 at private lots. City street parking is extremely limited. Tailgating is a huge tradition—arrive 3+ hours early if you want a spot. Consider Park & Ride options at nearby shopping centers ($10–$20) with shuttle service, or stay downtown and walk 20 minutes. Rental car drop-off can be slow post-game due to traffic; allow extra return time.
