When you are looking forward to renting a car in Great Falls, be sure to settle for a compact or standard sedan. Most roads in Great Falls have spacious lanes and are tarmacked. Commuting through all the streets within the city will be hassle-free with these types of Great Falls car rentals. During the winter, you can opt for a standard SUV with better ground clearance.

The I-15 Highway to the north is the route drivers take often when traveling from Great Falls to Canada. Central Ave, which cuts across the city center, will lead you to most religious houses and education centers. Driving along River Drive N, you can find the waterfalls for which the region is named. On this drive, you can also enjoy spectacular views of nature at the Rainbow Scenic Overlook. There's a parking lot for the overlook and various paved hiking trails that lead to different waterfalls.
Generally, the speed limit of urban stretches in Great Falls is 65 mph. However, when driving your rental vehicle within the city, note that the speed limit in residential areas is 25 mph and that of two-lane roads is 65 – 70 mph. Going above these speed limits could land you in trouble with the law, with many receiving speeding tickets as well as license suspension. Therefore, if you would like to drive your vehicle comfortably in the city, consider being keen on the set speed limits of every street and road.
When accompanied by a friend or co-worker with whom you'll be exchanging the driver's seat, you must register them at the rental desk. They must avail themselves and show a valid ID and driving permit. The amount charged for an extra driver is added to the total rental cost. The rate accrues daily for each additional driver and depends on the company's policy. Generally, companies offering cheap car rentals in Great Falls will consider your domestic partner (spouse) your co-driver, so you don't have to pay a surcharge. However, your spouse must have a valid driver's license and meet the minimum age requirement.
When it comes to parking, there is a wide selection of spots where you can park your vehicle in Great Falls. Free parking includes Great Falls Public Library, Great Falls Police Department, and Cascade County Courthouse. Other essential parking spots are North Garage and 1300 3rd Street Northwest. You can also park your rental car in designated curbside parking. Check the signs to know the duration you are allowed to park your vehicle at the spot. Most parking rules are enforced from Monday to Friday from around 9 am to 5 pm, and Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm.

Pros:
Car was clean. Pickup and drop off was very easy.Cons:
The car had either a previous smoker or whoever cleaned up the car was a heavy smoker. Smell was bad enough to irratate my daughter's throat. As we had to sign that we would not smoke in the car, I didn't appreciate that the smell already smelled like smoke. Otherwise, the car ran good. Pickup and drop off were easy. It handled the icy parking lots/roads good.One location in Great Falls

Pros:
The staff in Great Falls on 10th Ave are great... the cars not so much.Cons:
First, let me say the staff were great. The problem was the car. The key would not open it. Enterprise has no available staff to answer calls on Sunday.When finally opened, the car would not start. Had to use Uber A LOT. But they gave to 2 days credit and another car.2.0 Poor

Pros:
It appears easy IF you do not really want to get a car.Cons:

Sep 2017
Pros:
We returned the first car after one day because of low tire pressure warning. Avis agent had a new car available immediately. It was a painless exchange. This was before we headed out on a 900 mile trip to Glacier Natl Park. So no worry about tires after that.Cons:
The first car was a bit sorry looking with lots of damage areas and 26,000 miles on it. But the second car was beautiful with only 9000 miles on it. The first car did not represent Avis reputation, but the second car definitely did.4.0 Mediocre
Sep 2017
Pros:
The lady at my pickup point was wonderful, and after a 2 hour ordeal trying to rent the car she helped us sort everything out and get on the road. This was about the ONLY positive experience I had with Avis.Cons:
After being told my rental would be $1500 and repeatedly confirming this, I arrived at my pickup location and was told the price would be $2700. I did not have this amount accessible but was informed that the price could not be reduced until I payed that amount as a deposit. After two hours and a few phone calls begging for money, We had the car at a price of $2000 which I was expected to call up and negotiate about. Later in the trip our keys became locked in the trunk. This then became a 2 day ordeal in which avis had us towed us 100 miles and wasted hours of our time, ignoring everything I had told them as if I knew nothing. All our belongings, including phone and wallet were locked in the trunk. After arriving 100 miles and 3 hours away from where we were supposed to be staying we were informed the car could not be opened until the next morning. I explained that I could not pay for accommodation since I had nothing on me and the employee simply shrugged at me and handed me the keys to a different car. After sleeping in the car in a parking lot we returned the next day to find out, despite being told the car would be unlocked with another key by avis, that they had torn out the back seats and damaged our belongings.8.0 Very good
