Boise car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Boise 
barnburn1May 2026
Just know Boise can be very windy and very dusty. I'd advise not washing or vacuuming the vehicle until the morning you're due to take it back. Washing it the day before doesn't look like its even been washed 😆
Verified travelerSept 2023
Super easy to Rent a car in Boise.
Verified travelerJune 2023
Picking up a car at the Boise airport is a breeze! No shuttle, easy walk right out of the door. Such a Pleasant experience compared to Jaír about every other airport.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Driving in Boise is easy , minimal traffic and Boise drivers are very well mannered There are a lot of one way streets though so gps is essential
Verified travelerAug 2023
Check if your own car insurance covers rental cars too and avoid buying buy the add on insurance if you can. I saved $120 this way.
Verified travelerJune 2023
It's way cheaper to rent awayfrom the airport and grab an uber to get there. It saved me a bunch of money long term
Verified travelerJune 2023
Look into renting your car away from the airport and taking an uber over. It was significantly cheaper with both combined
BENNETJune 2023
Be prepared with a navigation app; lots of growth means lots of construction.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Boise

  • Discover everything Idaho’s capital has to offer with your own four wheels by renting a car upon your arrival in Boise. Nature lovers will get to visit the National Wildlife Refuge or the National Conservatory, which are 40 and 50 minutes away, respectively. With a hire car, you won’t have to stress about public transport schedules or squeezing onto an overflowing bus; instead, you can explore everything on your own time and pace.
  • The easiest way to start your time in Boise is by picking up a car when landing at Boise Airport, which is about 4 miles from the city center. All of the agencies (including Avis, Hertz, or Budget) are located on the first floor. The parking garage with the hire cars is just outside the baggage claim area. When driving out of the airport, follow the S Vista Avenue, which is the most direct route to Boise’s center.
  • Generally, Boise is very similar to most American cities when it comes to traffic and driving regulations. Boise drivers have a reputation for driving slower in the left lane than the right and for turning right on a red light when the intersection is free -- which is not something that visitors should mimic. Drive defensively, especially when entering an intersection, to avoid accidents.
  • Winters in Boise can bring snow and ice, and adapting your speed is very important to avoid skidding. When driving in Boise during the winter months, ensure the hire car is properly equipped and has snow chains in the trunk for when there is snow on the road (especially important when venturing out of the city). Speed must be adjusted and sudden braking or accelerating should be avoided as well. Also bear in mind that, due to plowing, the streets can be narrower after a snow.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Boise for $72 or less
  • Small hire cars in Boise are around 26% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Boise

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Boise?

    An economy car will allow you to whizz through Boise and will make lane changes and finding a parking spot easier. When visiting during the winter, a 4-wheel drive car is recommended; families and people who need more luggage space, on the other hand, can opt for a minivan.

  • What’s the speed limit in Boise?

    When driving around school zones, the maximum speed is 20 mph, while streets with traffic lights already allow up to 60 mph. Freeway speed regulations are 65 mph in urban areas and up to 80 mph on rural freeways. Adhering to speed limit signs is required and speed must be adjusted based on weather conditions.

  • Where are the best places to park in Boise?

    On-street parking in Boise is usually metered, so check the time restrictions and price (normally listed per hour), then feed the meter accordingly. Credit cards are accepted with most machines and street parking is divided into three zones from Premium to Value. Many on-street parking areas are restricted to 2 hours, so finding a parking garage or lot may be a good alternative, such as the Capitol and Main Garage.

When picking up the car, I was told the price would be almost double what I was told would be the total when I booked the car. I told the lady at the Avis rental counter that I didn’t want the insurance since I had purchased insurance through Kayak. She said she could see that. When I asked why the price was so different she said it was airport fees and said I needed to sign the agreement. I felt pressure to sign and I should not have but I did. Come to find out on my receipt that she did put the insurance on my agreement even though I told her I didn’t want it. When I reached out to Avis customer service they told me that since I signed the agreement they wouldn’t do anything about it.

It was find except for the fact there wasn’t enough windshield wiper fluid; the low indicator light came on on day one. Also, the blades were long overdue for a change. The streaks made it hard to see at times. The lady who checked me in was super helpful and the drop off was convenient.

When I went to go pick up the seven seat van they didn’t have it. All they could offer me is a six seat Jeep. As I was driving it, I noticed how dirty it was. There was white sticky in the center console. I got about two miles away and the windshield wiper fluid light came on. I filled it up and the next day on the road the light came on again. It also would only spray out the passenger side. The man helping me at Enterprise was nice and did his best to help me when I picked up the car but it was a pretty bum deal overall.

I had a ten hr delay thanks to United Airlines. It was a rough day but getting my rental checked out at 10:00 PM was the easiest thing I dealt with all day. The gentleman at the counter was pleasant and made the whole thing simple. Thank you! The Jeep was fun to drive :)

I reserved a seven seater SUV and got a van. Van had many issues and wouldn’t start in the mornings, so returned it for a new one and got attitude from the budget representative. Eventually was given a replacement van and had no issues after that.
