What You Need to Rent a Car in Black River Falls

Whether your car is in the shop, you're visiting the area, or you just need a vehicle for a few days — renting a car at Riverside Auto Rental in Black River Falls is quick and straightforward. Here's everything you need to know before you walk in.

Three things you need to bring

That's it — three items and you're on your way:

Can I rent with a debit card?

Yes. Unlike some national chains that require a credit card, Riverside Auto Rental accepts bank-issued debit cards linked to a checking account. This makes renting accessible to more people — you don't need a major credit card to get on the road.

Do I need my own insurance?

Yes — you'll need to bring proof of your personal auto insurance. Most personal auto policies extend coverage to rental vehicles, but it's a good idea to call your insurance provider beforehand to confirm. You'll want to know whether your policy covers collision, liability, and comprehensive on a rental.

How old do I have to be?

In Wisconsin, you generally need to be at least 18 years old with a valid driver's license to rent a car. If you have questions about eligibility, call us at 715-396-1466 — we're happy to help.
