Car Rentals in Bozeman

Bozeman is a picturesque city located in Gallatin County, the fastest growing region of Montana. In spite of the rapid expansion, public transportation is still limited, making a Bozeman rent a car the easiest way to get around and see all that the area has to offer. Look for great deals on Bozeman car rentals and use your savings to enjoy popular water sports on the Gallatin River, visit the Museum of the Rockies, relax at the Bozeman Hot Springs and Fitness Center. Visitors in the area during the first weekend of August can attend the annual Sweet Pea Festival, a popular celebration of music, dance, theater, comedy, food, and art exhibitions, preceded with a parade on the Friday before. Bozeman car rentals are available downtown (usually for better rates than those at the airport) from Enterprise, Thrifty and Hertz. Try Enterprise for the best deals, followed by Thrifty. The city is served by Gallatin Field Airport, also known as Belgrade Airport, located 15 miles east in Belgrade on Interstate 90. If you fly in here, car rentals are provided in terminal by Enterprise, National, Alamo, Hertz and Budget, or via complementary shuttle by Thrifty, Dollar, and Avis. Try Enterprise for the best rates, followed by Thrifty and Dollar. You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Bozeman rental car agencies (although some will take a cash deposit depending on a credit check), along with proof of insurance if you decline the vendor's coverage options. Usually age requirements for a rent a car are 21 for compact and economy cars, 25 for all others, and an additional young driver charge may apply for anyone under 25 (select agencies will rent to qualifying individuals over 18 for an additional fee). Be advised that road conditions in Montana can be very hazardous in the winter, and if you are not accustomed to driving winding mountain roads or in extreme snow/ice/sleet/hail/rain conditions, you should probably exercise extra caution.
