Boise car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Boise

We really love the Ford F150. Sometimes it’s not always in our budget but when it is we try and rent it. So comfortable and powerful. Not too bad on fuel.
Verified travelerSept 2023

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.
  • Book your car hire in Boise at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Boise are around 11% more expensive 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.

    In the past 72 hours, the cheapest car hires were found at Thrifty ($117/day), Dollar ($119/day) and Budget ($145/day). In the last 72 hours the cheapest hire car price was found at Thrifty 3201 West Airport Way 83705 (5 kilometres from the city centre).

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.

At the counter it was great. I had to call customer service; however, and it was terrible. I had to repeat all my information to an automated service and then again twice to customer service. Please, please, please bring you customer care call centers back to the United States. I worked for Tmobile and Americans want to speak to Americans. I was so mad by the end of the call I don't know if I will rent with Budget again.

The price quoted to me was approximately $235 for a one day rental. When my credit card was charged, one day and less than 24 hours later, the total cost was $493.97. It makes me never want to use Budget nor Kayak for a car rental again.
