Montana car rentals

Though the state of Montana has relatively few people given its large size, there are still plenty of public transportation options to get you from place to place. If you plan on staying in some of the larger cities or Montana or you need to travel between these cities exclusively, you may get away with not renting a car while you are here. That said, if you plan on doing any exploring to any of the amazing destinations and outdoor activities found in the state, you most certainly will want a great rental car to do that. Take into account the type of traveling you will be doing, the number of people you'll be transporting, and the amount of stuff you will need to take with you when you think about what type of car to rent when you are in Montana.
