KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bismarck

  • For trips far from the city center, car rentals in Bismarck are the more practical option. Capital Area Transit is Bismarck's public transportation system, but they do not have a sightseeing bus. As a result, if you were to use Capital Area Transit, you would need to carefully plan your trip, which would require you to wait for long periods of time and board different buses. You can rent a car from affordable car rentals in Bismarck and drive to Crystal Springs Camp and Retreat Center which is located around 65 miles to the east of Bismarck or Fort Clark State Historic Site, about 38 miles to the north of Bismarck center.
  • Bismarck car rentals in Bismarck offer several advantages over other transportation options, such as taxis and public transportation. One of the biggest advantages is schedule convenience. With several cheap car rentals in Bismarck, you can pick up the car conveniently and return it when you are finished. This is much more flexible than taking a taxi or a bus, which can be subject to delays. Also, having your own set of wheels is usually cheaper than taking a taxi. This is especially true if you are traveling with a group of people. You can often get a car with different features for different traveling needs, such as a wheel-drive SUV for off-road driving.
  • Visitors to Bismarck will in most cases fly into Bismarck Municipal Airport. The airport is about 4 miles from Bismarck by car. At Bismarck Municipal Airport, Bismarck Car Rentals are located near the baggage claim. You can also use Avis Preferred, which is a complimentary membership that enables you to skip the queue and go directly to your car which will help to speed up your travel experience.
  • Driving in Bismarck during winter calls for carefulness and proper planning. First, ensure your car is in good condition and the tires are inflated properly. Additionally, keep a winter survival kit in your car, just in case you get stranded. When driving in Bismarck during winter, it is important to take it slow and be careful on the roads. Be aware of black ice and other winter driving hazards. Keep on highways, which are generally kept in better condition than back roads which may be inadequately plowed or covered with too much slush.
  • The wide roads in the rural areas in Bismarck make driving relatively easy. Keep an eye out for cyclists, motorcycle riders, pedestrians crossing the street, and people getting out of cars parked on the side of the road. In contrast, driving in the center is frequently stressful. Drivers are reminded to keep a safe distance between themselves and the many 18-wheelers and semi-trucks that use the road on a daily basis.
  • Driving through Bismarck is not really a headache. The city is located centrally in the state, giving visitors easy access to nearby attractions like the Missouri River and Dakota Zoo. Most importantly, traffic isn't a major issue in Bismarck. The city is spread out, so there is generally not a lot of congestion on the roads. If you are arriving from the east or west, the ideal route would be I-94, which directly links the northwest region and Minneapolis to the city. However, if you're driving from the southern part, you should use I-29 and switch to I-94 at Fargo.
  • The rush hour is a busy time on the Interstate 94 which passes through both Fargo and the state capital of Bismarck as a result of high traffic volume as well as the 75 mph speed limit in rural areas, it is advised that drivers remain alert and observe the rules. Traffic is usually high during the evening hours due to the number of people coming from work and the number of trucks traversing the route.
  • Economy rental cars in Bismarck are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average
