Utah car rentals

Renting a car in Utah is always a great idea. Whether you plan on cruising downtown Salt Lake City in your sharp sedan or maybe planning a road trip out to the national parks around Moab in your sturdy 4-wheel drive, there’s nothing like the comfort and convenience of renting your own vehicle. Utah offers major metropolitan areas best navigated by car in addition to some of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. Unfortunately, airports and other public transportation are not always available in many of these attractions. That’s why having the freedom of your own rental car is ideal when visiting.

Driving in Utah is as enjoyable and convenient as in any other state. From major interstate highways to residential streets and even back-country gravel roads, Utah has it all. The well-planned and well-maintained roads of Utah are easily navigated year-round. While winter can bring large snowfall to places like Park City or around the Cottonwood Canyons, Utah does a good job of keeping the roads clear. Adams Avenue Parkway is the only toll road in the state, connecting I-84 with US-89 near Washington Terrace. Residential speed limits are a little high at 35 mph.

As is the case with most states across the country, drivers in Utah will need to be at least sixteen years old to hold a driver’s license. However, anyone wishing to rent a car in the state will need to be at least twenty one years old. Drivers aged twenty one and twenty four may see a daily “underage” surcharge on their rental agreement. Drivers over the age of twenty five may rent a car in the state of Utah without additional surcharges. Please note that drivers, regardless of age, may be required to provide certain documents at the time of their rental, such as valid ID.
