Most journeys in South Dakota begin in Rapid City. And that’s not a bad place to start. As well as a wealth of shops and restaurants, it makes a great base for anyone visiting South Dakota. With car hire, Rapid City is less than an hour’s drive from half a dozen national parks and monuments.

Pierre is the largest city and the capital of South Dakota. It’s just under two and a half hours east of Rapid City and is home to some worthy attractions such as the Cultural Heritage Center, State Capitol Building and the Oahe Dam.

Most visitors, however, head to South Dakota for the countryside. That is something in abundance in the shape of several national parks, such as Badlands National Park and Wind Cave National Park. You’ll also find fun attractions such as the Dinosaur Park and Storybook Island – both in Rapid City.

Elsewhere in South Dakota is Black Hills National Forest, home of the Mount Rushmore Presidential Monument. Buffalo Gap National Grassland and many more sites of natural beauty can be found across South Dakota's 77,000 square miles. Plus, with the main settlements being so close to the neighbouring states of Minnesota, Iowa and Wyoming, car hire in South Dakota is a great way to see it all.
