Car rental at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport

First things first, Idaho's traffic laws may differ from the UK, so make sure you're clued up on the rules before setting off. Americans drive on the right-hand side, which will be a change for UK drivers. As in the UK, seatbelt use is mandatory. Plus, Idaho has a ban on texting while driving. It's recommended that you have a quick look at Idaho's driving laws before your trip.

Airport Car Rental

You will find multiple car rental companies, including renowned brands like Alamo, Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz, right at the airport. No need for shuttle buses – their service desks are located in the baggage claim area. We recommend booking your car in advance and specifying any additional services, like child car seats or GPS navigation, you might require.

Choosing the right car

Idaho Falls offers a range of activities, from exploring nature reserves to a ski trip in the nearby hills. An SUV might be the best fit if you're planning on any off-roading, otherwise, a saloon or economy car should do the job just fine.

Refuelling

Topping up your tank shouldn't be a problem. There are several petrol stations near the airport. Do remember, the price of petrol in America is sold by the gallon, not litre.
