KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Whitefish

  • Getting Whitefish car rentals is one of the best decisions you can make. They are a cheap traveling option, considering their security, reliability, and flexibility. You not only avoid steep fare hikes and extra luggage fees but also cramped up spaces that come with buses or trains. In addition, car rentals are reliable, unlike public transport, which comes with non-operational hours or services during certain circumstances. Car rentals offer the freedom and flexibility to travel to the city’s Whitefish Lake, City Beach, and Dick Idol Signature Gallery.
  • Whitefish car rentals offer an alternative means of transport that is not only flexible but also more affordable to those seeking to connect to various destinations in the city. For you to be able to rent a car from any of the cheap car rentals in Whitefish, you must be 21 years or older. However, you may not be able to rent certain types of cars, such as luxury cars, unless you are 25 years or older. When picking up your car, you need to have a valid driver's license bearing your name and a major credit or debit card. These age limits also apply to the additional drivers, who, however, have to pay an additional daily fee.
  • When traveling to Whitefish, you will most likely arrive at Glacier Park International Airport. It lies 11 miles from the city center. You can hire car rentals in Whitefish at the baggage claim area of the terminal building. The cars are within a short walk outside the terminal. It has over nine car rental companies, including Hertz, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Thrifty, National, and Payless. They boast an extensive fleet of cars for your choice. Some rental agencies operate 24/7, while others offer after-hour services. We recommend making earlier reservations to avoid waiting for hours when picking up car rentals in Whitefish.
  • Mountainous topology and irregular terrain characterize most of the parts of Whitefish. Consequently, with the exception of the major highways and roads around the central business district, most of the other roads are narrow. Therefore, it's advisable to maintain lower speeds when driving along these narrow roads, which also experience a surge in the number of cyclists in the morning and evening. As you drive your car from one of the cheap car rentals in Whitefish, you should remember that it is common for drivers in the city to change lanes without any warning.

Children under 6- pounds aboard car rentals in Whitefish must be in child safety seats.
  • If you are hitting any of the roads in Whitefish using your rental car accompanied by your child, ensure you adhere to Montana's child seat laws. These laws require that if your child is below 6 years or weighs less than 60 pounds, they must always be in an appropriate restraint system such as a booster seat or child safety seat. You can conveniently get a booster seat, child safety seat, or infant seat from any of the cheap car rentals in Whitefish. However, you will pay an additional daily fee for each of these seats.
  • Rush hours occur in the city, a prime time for accidents due to congestion. They typically peak from 7 am to 8 am and 5 pm to 7 pm. If you do not wish to wait for hours in traffic, avoid driving these hours. Some of the traffic in Whitefish include Highway 93, Spokane, and Baker Avenue.
