Important information about Kalispell car rentals

When visiting Kalispell, your most likely destinations are Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake and National Forest. The best way to get around the national parks is with a Kalispell car rental. Flathead National Forest is the farthest from the city. It will take you almost three hours to get there, though the drive itself is part of the beautiful experience. Most of the car rental locations in Kalispell can be found directly at the Glacier Park International Airport. There are about 10 agencies to rent from in the area. There aren’t a lot of options for luxury car rentals in Kalispell and you should reserve in advance to try getting a cheap car rental in Kalispell. Finding a parking spot downtown can be challenging at times especially along Main Street. With a little bit of patience, you’ll most likely find a free place to park your Kalispell rental car.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Kalispell?

The historic downtown Kalispell is small and walkable. However, you’ll want a vehicle to get to the top attractions in the area. When considering car rentals in Kalispell, know that it’ll be a great way to get around the city and the national parks at your own leisure. Although Glacier National Park and Flathead are the top tourist attractions in the area, Kalispell is surrounded by plenty of eye-catching day-trip worthy destinations. The area is known for its hiking spots, fishing, skiing, some golf courses and western hospitality. The city of Missoula, known for its natural beauty, is only a couple hours away. Highway 93, the main highway crossing through Kalispell from north to south, is known for its wildlife crossing. Make sure you’re not distracted at the wheel and keep your eyes peeled for any crossing deer or elk. There’s on-street parking throughout Kalispell, but it may require a bit of patience finding a spot in the downtown core area.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Kalispell?

Montana is famous for its curvy and mountainous roads. Make sure to be constantly alert while driving your car rental in Kalispell and adjust your speed to the weather. Kalispell’s also gets a lot of snow in the winter. Check with your Kalispell car rental to make sure your vehicle is prepped with adequate tires. Make sure to clear your vehicle of any snow that may fly off while in motion, as well as your windshield, headlights, and brake lights. We also recommend you avoid drinking and driving; don’t be a reckless driver. The illegal amount of blood-alcohol content is 0.08% and over. Nonetheless, we recommend looking up Kalispell’s department of motor vehicles to make sure there aren’t any new traffic laws.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Kalispell if I’m visiting from another country?

In Montana you may be required to have an International Driving Permit if your driver’s license is from out of the country. International permits are only a translation of your original document, so you must have the driver’s license from your country of origin at all times. To be able to pick up your car rental in Kalispell, you must be at least 21 years old. You’ll most likely have a "young driver" surcharge if you are under the age of 25 and will be allowed access only to the economy car rentals.
