Top tips for renting a car in Idaho Falls
- Avoid drunk driving after renting a car in Idaho Falls. The law prohibits driving under the influence (DUI), and you're considered intoxicated if your alcohol blood concentration level is 0.08 or more. The penalties for drunk driving are a fine of up to $1000 or your driver's license being suspended for 30 days. When booking with Idaho Falls car rentals agencies, read and ask about rules on drunk driving to avoid problems. In addition, drunk driving can cause fatal accidents, and your car rental company may not be liable for your injuries. Also, it may cost you to repair or replace your rental car.
- Most rental car agencies are located at Idaho Falls Fanning Field Airport (IDA). Thus, you can pick up or return your rental car near the terminals at the airport. The main agencies offering cheap car rentals in Idaho Falls include Budget and Enterprise. However, prices vary, and you can compare prices before choosing an agency. Again, these agencies offer various types of car rentals ranging from SUVs to Vans. Agencies are also located at Jackson Hole Airport is 100 miles (161km) from the city center, and Yellowstone Regional Airport is 243 miles (391km) from the city center.
- Save a few pennies by renting a car during off-peak hours and seasons. This is because rental vehicles are in demand and increase rental prices during peak seasons, especially summer and spring. Again, you can get great deals from several companies if you rent a car in advance. However, rental prices vary in low and high seasons, depending on the rental agency. Therefore, learn about discounts from the company's website or ask questions to the agency's customer care. Despite booking cheap car rentals in Idaho Falls, choose the perfect size and model to avoid driving problems. Finally, travelers should choose a vehicle depending on the weather conditions.
- Make your travel in and around Idaho Falls as flexible as can be by renting a car at one of the city's car rental centers. You can enjoy the impeccable cultural flair Idaho Falls has, including the various collectibles and memorabilia at Collectors' Corner Museum on John Adams Parkway and the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho on South Capital Ave. Idaho Falls' outdoor scenery features the renowned Idaho Falls River Walk & Greenbelt at the heart of the city on River Parkway. The magical Yellowstone National Park is approximately 100 miles from Idaho Falls, a 2h driving distance. Yellowstone presents you with dream-like landscapes of canyons, hot springs, geysers, and almost four hundred animal species.
- Idaho Falls is accessible via various airports. 2 miles northwest of Downtown Idaho Falls is Idaho Falls Regional Airport (formerly Fanning Field Airport). The busy airport is home to a Rental Car Center with counters for Idaho Falls car rentals like Alamo, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Avis, Hertz, Budget, and National. As the center is just outside the baggage claim area, rental car shuttle buses are necessary. You can also fly into Idaho Falls through Pocatello Regional Airport, located approximately 55 miles from Idaho Falls. The Airports Rental Car Center operates inside the terminal, ruling out the necessity of a rental car shuttle bus. You can expect to find Avis, Budget, and Enterprise car rentals at Idaho Falls Airport.
- While driving in Idaho Falls, GPS can come in handy to aid through the dense network of roads in the city. Traffic in Idaho Falls' major roads, like Veteran's Memorial Highway and Broadway Street, is moderate. The roads are well-maintained, but the area has a relatively high abundance of non-paved inroads. As most of the city's crosswalk pedestrians are children, it would help if you remain alert while cruising in Idaho Falls.
- Rush hour starts early in Idaho Falls, at around 6:30am, and goes until about 08:30am. Traffic is heavy between 7:30am and 8am, but it clears off by about 9am. Some of the areas you want to avoid during these times are Eleventh Ave North Extension and North Fox Run Ave. Additionally, a section between Cloverdale Road - Joplin Road and Eighth Street also clogs with traffic. The afternoon rush hour clocks in at 3:30pm worsen at about 5:30pm but ease off around 6pm. Besides the previously mentioned areas, avoid roadways from Salt Lake City heading north.

Pros:
The young woman at Idaho Falls gave us a Durango for two people. She said that she did not have the suv we requested. The Durango wouldn't lock so we had to take time out of our first day of vacation to drive to W. Yellowstone to exchange it for a smaller vehicle which had not been cleaned!!!Cons:
If someone orders a specific type of vehicle it should be available at pickup not told to drive an enormous car they don't want. I ordered the car 2 weeks in advance so it shouldn't be difficult to have it available and clean.10.0 Wonderful
