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.

Driving in Montana is not much different than any other state in the United States. You will drive on the right side of the road and all distances will be in miles and all speeds will be in miles per hour. In Montana, the maximum speed limit for cars is 75 mph and for trucks, it is 65 mph. It is important to remember that these maximums do not apply to all roads in Montana and, in fact, may only apply to certain roads in more remote areas.

Most rental car companies in Montana will expect you to be at least twenty one years old to rent a car. If you are between the ages of twenty one and twenty five, some rental car companies will add a surcharge to your rental. If you are less than twenty five, there may also be limits on the type of car that you could rent and as such, you may not be able to rent premium SUVs or luxury sedans, among others.
