Car rentals in Montana

There’s no denying that Montana offers many scenic routes. However, driving in Montana should be done with caution, regardless of their well-maintained roads. The winter season often comes with a slew of challenges. From black ice and snow to reduced visibility, the winter months are not the best time to travel. Spring, on the other hand, comes with wet roads. Summer is better, but you’ll need to watch out for large crowds and animals. All this considered, the best way to navigate the roads in Montana is to drive slowly and cautiously. If you're booking a car rental, make sure to check that everything is in working order—that is, everything from the tire pressure down to your radiator should be in working condition.

So, you’ve decided to book a car rental, but have no idea what to expect in a new state or country. First things first, learn everything you need to know about the driving laws in that state or country. In Montana, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the speeding laws that are split in two: basic speeding laws and absolute limits. An absolute speed limit just means that you have to maintain a certain speed limit within a certain area, such as urban areas. Basic speeding laws state that you adjust your speed per the weather conditions, while remaining alert and careful.  Failure to comply with speed limits can lead to a fine. Always check with the local department of motor vehicles for any recent law changes.

If you're a resident in the United States or Canada, you must have a valid driver's license. If you're a visitor from a country other than the US and Canada, an International Driver's License (IDL) is recommended. Please note that you won’t be able to rent a car with just an IDL. Some companies may also ask for proof of residency, proof of identity, and evidence of authorized presence, depending on which country you're visiting from.

It's recommended that you review the policy of your preferred rental company before booking.

When renting a car in Montana, all drivers must present a full valid driving license. An International Driving Permit is required if the driving license is written in a language different to that of the country of rental and may be necessary to avoid the risk of potential fines.

We always recommend checking with the individual rental company you are booking with.
