Rent a larger SUV for the best views in Yellowstone

GerrySep 2024

This was during the summer so no need for 4WD, AWD was fine. The roads are tight in the National Parks so a crossover on the medium to smaller side is what I'd recommend and the Ford Edge was perfect for it.

Do not book any rental vehicle without a credit card

J.A.Jun 2024

It was helpful to prepay for gas because it was cheaper than station prices. It was also reassuring to have rental insurance. I used a third-party and didn’t need it but it was still good to have because driving in Yellowstone can be a little hairy. They gave me a practically brand-new Subaru Crosstrek and I fell in love with it!

BertiFeb 2024

Considering how much snowfall they get, Bozeman does a great job keeping the roads cleared.

EdJan 2024

Go slow in the winter, the roads are not salted as in the northeast and plowing takes a while to happen. Don’t be in a hurry, enjoy the abundance of parking downtown.

Verified travelerSep 2023

Skip baggage claim and get right in line to pick up your rental if your flying on a full flight or during a busy season. Then grab your bags so you don’t have to wait for over an hour in the rental line.

Bozeman was okay.... North of Bozeman was hard due to accidents and construction stopping traffic for long periods

That there are two places to rent. To rent from the airport, choose the Belgrade office.

Visit Bozeman and benefit from the freedom and flexibility a rental car can give you during your stay. Apart from the many attractions within the city borders, such as the Museum of the Rockies, there are also many national parks and green spaces that are best reached by car. About 90 miles to the south lies Yellowstone National Park, which is an hour and 40-minute drive from Bozeman city and is just waiting to be explored.
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is over 10 miles from the city center, so the most convenient way to get out and about is by renting a vehicle directly at one of the airport agencies. Situated right next to the baggage claim area, the airport sports eight major agencies, including Hertz, Avis, and National. There are also some off-site rental agencies, some of which offer shuttle services from the airport to the rental center.
The winters in Bozeman, Montana can be very cold and bring lots of snow. Knowing how to handle a car in winter conditions is important when visiting the city in the cold months. First of all, make sure to have the rental car equipped properly and also rent snow chains, if necessary (they may only be used when there is ice or snow on the roads).
Another important aspect of driving in cold conditions is to adjust your speed. Bozeman drivers are generally known to be patient and friendly and will usually also adjust their speed when the roads are slippery. Sudden braking or accelerating should be avoided and headlights should always be turned on – even during the day – so that other drivers can spot your car better in the snow flurries.
Bozeman is a fast-growing city, increasing its population of road users. Avoid being stuck on the road for hours by getting on the road during rush hours. The rush times start at 6:30 am to 10:30 am, with the peak morning rush being between 7:30 am and 8 am. The evening rush hour kicks in from 4:30 pm to 7 pm. The most congested roads in Bozeman are Huffine Lane, Jackrabbit Lane, and N. 19th Avenue. In downtown Bozeman, the worst congestion is on Main Street. If you’re in town during the summer, the road to Hyalite Reservoir is always congested, so visit the attraction during other periods.
Are you accessing the city by road instead of flying in? If so, you don’t need to travel to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport to acquire cheap car rentals in Bozeman. Several rental providers also have rental offices in downtown Bozeman. Enterprise and NewCar Rental have downtown locations. The former has offices along W. Babcock Street, while the latter is on N 7th Avenue. Downtown locations provide all types of vehicles, including four-wheel drives to help you tackle the snowy roads during winter.
Trucks compose almost half the total vehicles on Bozeman roads. Be extra careful while driving, especially a few hours before rush hour, from around noon to 3 pm. Watch out for trucks while driving Bozeman car rentals. Slow down and leave enough space between you and the truck ahead. This will avoid a dangerous situation such as getting your vehicle stuck under the truck. If you must overtake, ensure you can clearly see the road ahead and overtake sensibly and quickly. Moreover, avoid cutting in front of trucks on a highway or near traffic lights. If a truck is overtaking your vehicle, avoid speeding. Do not drive right at the center line of the road if there are many trucks around. Avoid operating a handheld device while driving, as this can make you lose control of your vehicle.

Hertz was AMAZING! The 3rd party insurance not so much. I’m sure it was somewhere in the fine print, that I would have been reimbursed for any out of pocket claim costs, but luckily I was able to cancel it and purchase insurance through Hertz for just $10 more than that 3rd party dealer. Thank you, to the Hertz rep for explaining this to me!

The Custmer service Rep at the vounter was very helpful. Xdhe slready knee that the car I reserved won’t fit our needs. She already had a different SUV for us. She explained to us in terms that were not demanding. So we went with her suggestion, the Grand Cherokee. And we had a very good time and fun in our trip. We didn’t have to worry about driving in the snow since its a 4 wheel drive. 👍🙂

Car was great, clean and full of gas and the Bozman facility was very convenient. The issue I had was at the counter with the estimated price I was given compared to what I was quoted on Kayak. It was literally triple the cost and it wasn't until I showed the attendant my Kayak quote that they adjusted the system to match the Kayak estimate. I asked why the huge discrepancy and was told that there was a glitch in the system because my reservation was more then 7 days and the system didn't calculate the remaining days correctly. This made me wonder what I would have been charged had I not questioned the attendant... Other than that, the rental was flawless.

Good except that I left my prescription sunglasses in the car and it’s was extremely difficult to contact someone about that issue. I tried to reach someone that exact same day and the next day with no luck. After many attempts I finally did reach someone. They still have not located them and I know exactly where I left them, in the rented vehicle. I’m hoping they will be found. No one would take my prescription sunglasses so they must be in the vehicle or in the lost and found.

It was as if the vehicle and price I booked thru kayak didn’t exist when I showed up to the enterprise desk in Bozeman . They didn’t have the vehicle I rsvp’d and I ended up paying double for the only thing they had. So what’s the point of the kayak reservation if the car and price don’t apply? The staff was nice, but i basically started over from scratch when I got there and had to pay double the quote on kayak .
