Top tips for hiring a car in Bozeman
- Visit Bozeman and benefit from the freedom and flexibility a hire car can give you during your stay. Apart from the many attractions within the city borders, such as the Museum of the Rockies, there are also many national parks and green spaces that are best reached by car. About 90 miles to the south lies Yellowstone National Park, which is an hour and 40-minute drive from Bozeman city and is just waiting to be explored.
- Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is over 10 miles from the city center, so the most convenient way to get out and about is by renting a vehicle directly at one of the airport agencies. Situated right next to the baggage claim area, the airport sports eight major agencies, including Hertz, Avis, and National. There are also some off-site hire agencies, some of which offer shuttle services from the airport to the hire center.
- The winters in Bozeman, Montana can be very cold and bring lots of snow. Knowing how to handle a car in winter conditions is important when visiting the city in the cold months. First of all, make sure to have the hire car equipped properly and also rent snow chains, if necessary (they may only be used when there is ice or snow on the roads).
- Another important aspect of driving in cold conditions is to adjust your speed. Bozeman drivers are generally known to be patient and friendly and will usually also adjust their speed when the roads are slippery. Sudden braking or accelerating should be avoided and headlights should always be turned on – even during the day – so that other drivers can spot your car better in the snow flurries.
- Book your car hire in Bozeman at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy car hire in Bozeman are around 75% cheaper than other car types, on average

Jul 2018
Pros:
The car!Cons:
Pick up. It was a hassle. I was prepaid, but they wouldn’t accept my credit card because it was under my former name. I had to go get my marriage certificate to prove it was me even though I was prepaid. They wouldn’t accept a debit card. It was very inconvenient and made me feel like a fraud when I wasn’t!4,0 Mediocre

Cons:
Dropped the car off with a full tank of gas and they logged it in as empty! Hertz then charged me over $200 for a tank of gas ($9.99 a gallon!). Careless and another waste of my time.Enterprise

Sep 2020
Pros:
I got a call before I even left home airport that there was not a car available for me due to overbooking. So I didn’t like anything about the experience. It was expensive to Uber. And not available at the times i needed. Manager offered to pay for some Uber trips. Really wrecked this trip. No other cars were available for less than $599/day.Cons:
They could have had a car for me since I made a reservation and counted on it. They should have gotten a car from competitor and paid for the difference in price.10,0 Wonderful

Aug 2020
Pros:
The staff was friendly and helpful, the pick up and drop off went pretty quickly, but I still haven't received a final confirmation on my bill after the drop off. The car was clean when I arrive to it, which was appreciated.Cons:
Although they provided a "free upgrade" but I really was not a fan of the Ford Ecosport, even as an upgrade. It is not a good car for highway driving or even city driving as to preserve gas it turns off/goes into neutral every time you take your foot off the gas. Very annoying. Also, the trunk space is better in a regular car. Finally, be aware of which pick up place that kayak/priceline brings you to. I thought I had booked the airport and incurred an additional fee.Dollar

Nov 2017
Cons:
Flew into Bozeman, paid for the upgrade for Jeep Cherokee or equivalent knowing we were going into Yellowstone national park. They gave us a Dodge Journey which is a minivan without the sliding door. Since the park got nearly 1' of snow we almost got stuck several time in pull offs or in parking lots because it had almost no ground clearance. That vehicle is not the equivalent of a jeep. Not good...10,0 Wonderful

Jun 2017
Pros:
One rental good the other not so much. Same rate for both rentals, but absolutely not equal vehicles. Ace needs to reevaluate.Cons:
We rented two vehicles. Both were charged the same rate. One a Chevy Suburban the other a Ford Expedition. No comparison. The Ford was not equal and should never have been the same rate. The Suburban had video, auto tailgate lift and other features.4,4 Mediocre

Car had 50000 miles on it and showed the wear. We rented two vehicles and received this one the Ford Expedition. And a suburban. There was no comparison in features of the expedition and the suburban the ford was far inferiorCons:
