Top tips for renting a car in Montana

  • Because the state of Montana is a very large geographic area that contains relatively few people, your chances of having a large choice of rental cars is going to be better when you rent in the larger cities in Montana, such as Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls. Also, take into account the time of year you'll be driving when you rent a car in Montana. Because winters can offer very snowy and icy conditions on the road, a good choice for a vehicle may be a four-wheel-drive or an SUV. No matter what type of car you drive during this time of year, make sure you carry appropriate tire chains when you drive.
  • The state of Montana has its own laws and regulations regarding children riding in vehicles. For any child that is two years of age or less, they must ride in a rear-facing car seat. This car seat must be placed in the back seat of the car. For any child that is between two and five years old, they can ride in a forward-facing child seat but they still must remain in the backseat of the car. Once a child is over five years old they can begin to ride in a booster seat and they must ride in the seat until they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall. The state of Montana recommends that children ride in the backseat of a car until they are at least thirteen years old.
  • Quite a few people who rent cars in Montana wonder if they can take the car across the border into Canada. Most rental car companies in Montana will let you take the car into Canada but it is important to let the rental car company know that you plan to do so. The rental car company will provide you with a non-resident insurance card to travel into Canada. It is also not uncommon to be able to rent a car in Montana and do a one-way rental to a city in Canada.

FAQs about renting a car in Montana

  • Should I rent a car in Montana?

    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.
