Car Rental Near Melrose WI | Riverside Auto Rental

Melrose sits along the Black River in Jackson County — scenic and quiet, but without a local rental car option. Riverside Auto Rental is the nearest independent provider, just 20 miles north on WI-54. It's a direct drive on the same highway, no interstate needed, and we'll have a vehicle ready when you arrive.

Whether you need a reliable daily driver while your car is being repaired, a van for group travel, or a weekly rental for an extended trip, we've been serving this part of western Wisconsin since 1983. Call 715-396-1466 to reserve.
