Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Kalispell

  • Opting for Kalispell SUV rentals provides several advantages when exploring this picturesque city in Montana. With an SUV, you'll have the flexibility and space to venture into the stunning outdoors, including Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake, and Whitefish Mountain Resort, all of which are easily accessible with rugged terrain capabilities. SUVs offer enhanced safety on winding mountain roads and variable weather conditions, ensuring a comfortable and secure journey. Additionally, the spacious interiors accommodate larger groups and outdoor gear, making it ideal for families and adventurers.
  • Kalispell offers convenient access to Glacier Park International Airport (FCA), identified by its airport code. Upon arriving at FCA, you'll find car rental desks conveniently located within the terminal building, making it hassle-free to pick up your SUV rental. The airport is well-equipped to handle the needs of travelers, and with an SUV at your disposal, you can quickly hit the road to explore the scenic wonders of Montana's Flathead Valley. Whether you're heading to Glacier National Park, the Flathead Lake region, or other local attractions, renting an SUV from Glacier Park International Airport ensures a smooth and comfortable start to your Kalispell adventure.
  • Driving Kalispell SUV rentals in the city and surrounding areas offers a unique and enjoyable experience. The city itself is relatively small and easy to navigate, with well-maintained roads that generally provide a smooth ride. However, once you venture into the stunning landscapes of Montana, especially in and around Glacier National Park, you should be cautious of cyclists and wildlife, as the region is known for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. Drivers in Kalispell are generally courteous, and traffic congestion is not a significant issue, allowing you to comfortably explore the picturesque surroundings in your SUV rental while enjoying the freedom and flexibility to access remote and scenic destinations.
  • Navigating Kalispell SUV rentals comes with few challenges. While the city itself isn't known for heavy traffic, some routes leading to popular attractions like Glacier National Park can become congested during the peak tourist season, which typically runs from late spring to early fall. The Going-to-the-Sun Road, a must-visit in Glacier National Park, can get particularly crowded. Rush hour traffic in Kalispell, though not as intense as in larger cities, can occur during typical hours, such as morning (around 7 to 9 am) and late afternoon (around 4:30 to 6:30 pm).
  • 25% of our users found an SUV rental in Kalispell for $70 or less
  • Book your SUV rental in Kalispell at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The price was excellent, and I received a free upgrade to a Jeep Compass. I was able to pick up at one airport, and drop off another. Best rental car experience I've had- I wish they were all like this!

Cons:

I asked for a full size car, was given a compact SUV, was told that was an upgrade. Negative, the Chevy Malibu I requested has more cubic square feet over all than that compact SUV. We had a wedding party for our daughter's wedding and wanted the space, but I could barely get our luggage in this compact, much less more people with room.

Quick and easy to understand instructions for rentals. Very informative. Beth showed us the car we would be using, so that we wouldn’t get confused and she also offered the best choice for us, since there are some age restrictions. She also gave us unlimited mileage which was a huge bonus for us! We will be booking with Budget again soon! Thanks Beth!

Pros:

The service was incredible. They sent a shuttle on time to pick us up without me having to do anything but make the reservation. They were super friendly and made us feel welcome. A real nice surprise for a rental company!

Cons:

Nothing on their end. I was unsure how it'd work with the shuttle and you could tell people that they'll show up just for you based on your time input upon reservation. This personal service is such a nice benefit that you could let the customer know upon reservation on Kayak. But the service itself was perfect!

Pros:

dollar rental was very friendly and helpful. When our flight was delayed Avis would not assure us that we would have a suv to rent.

Cons:

If someone is willing to pay for a suv even though they can't pick it up when planned, they should make sure the suv is there when they get there.

Cons:

This was at Glacier National Airport in Kalispell, MT. Made the reservation with Avis because the value was reasonable and they were open at 8 AM when I needed to pick up the car and make it to an appointment. Arrived at 8 AM and two people at the counter, neither of which could rent me the car because they did not work the front desk. They said the person was running late and would be in shortly. Thirty minutes later, the front desk person was still not there. Could not wait any longer so I went to Budget and they had just what I needed and for the same price. Avis lost the rental and a customer.

Cons:

The tires on my rental required filling every other day. As soon as I left the lot, the tire light came on....luckily nothing happened and they didn’t deflate completely but I still feel like this should have been looked at prior to me driving

Pros:

The Staff was friendly but didn't talk my ear off, the Vehicle was newer & in great shape. It also got decent gas mileage for a big ford expedition, about 20 MPG. Pick Up & Drop Off was a breeze & took less than 5 minutes for both.

Cons:

I thought the $1,300.00 Price Tag was Pretty Steep for 6 Days, especially since the last day I dropped the vehicle off between 7:30 & 8:00 AM.

May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

at drop off, I explained that the gas tank was FULL. After reviewing the bill before boarding my flight, I discovered that I was charged for the cost of $97 for fuel. I had to go back to the agent (behind the security) and she corrected it. I find this annoying as it is a basic component of checking out a rental car. Other attendants go over the statement LINE by LINE. Not at this station. Peculiar, With kind regards, Roger van den Bergh

Cons:

Please pay attention at checkout.

Pros:

Very friendly staff, no line and easy rental process.

Cons:

I wasn't sure how to return the vehicle - had to take keys to the desk unlike other rental experiences where someone is there waiting to check you in or you leave the keys in the car. Signage would have helped as we were in a rush.

Pros:

The staff was incredibly helpful and to-the-point. He did not try to sell me any add-ons or unneeded extras, and got us in and out very quickly. The car was top-notch (I don’t think a Chrysler 300 fits in the “compact” category that we paid for, but we certainly didn’t complain) and drove very well.

Cons:

We found a bit of trash in the backseat and the trunk. Nothing shocking, but we did end up cleaning out more trash than we added to the car.
