South Dakota car rental information

Motorists find it easy to drive on most of the roads and highways in South Dakota throughout the year, although drivers may experience slippery roads and poor visibility in winter. However, there are perilous roads within the state that require experienced and courageous drivers. These roads include Iron Mountain Road, which has sharp turns, rapid climbing areas, limited access in winter, and speeding drivers, and Needles Highway, a road with extremely sharp turns and narrow tunnels that can be wet during the winter. For that reason, you should carefully choose a car that can withstand different road conditions. A full-size car is recommended for those looking to experience a smooth and secure ride in South Dakota.

Whether you’re driving a cheap car rental or a classic SUV in South Dakota, you need to know that the speed limit for interstate driving is 80 mph, while the minimum is 40 mph. South Dakota traffic laws require drivers to be fully aware of turn signals, such as hand signals, when blinkers don’t work. Open alcoholic beverages in your car are illegal. However, it is perfectly legal to use the left lanes of any interstate while driving in South Dakota. You can use a cell phone when driving, but make sure that it is in hands-free mode. Texting while driving is not allowed. Be sure to check with South Dakota’s department of motor vehicles for any recent law changes before you hit the road.

Cheap rental cars are available for those looking to enjoy road trips in South Dakota, but you must have the required documents. The first document you should present when picking up your rental car is your driver’s license. The license must be valid, original, and unexpired, and should be in your name. Foreign travelers need to submit their International Driver’s Permit (IDP) and a valid photo ID or passport. You are also required to present a credit or debit card bearing your name to pre-authorize your car rental when you pick up your car. A printed voucher showing the car booking process may be required as well. Check with each car rental company in South Dakota to be sure of their requirements before you make a car reservation.
