  • Des Moines is around 177 kilometers from Marathon. Well-known tourist attractions like Iowa State Fairgrounds should be at the top of your list while you're in town.

What do you need to rent a car in Marathon?

Where can I find a Marathon car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Found a Marathon outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome!
