Idaho Car Rental

Rent a car in Idaho from Budget and discover this gem of the northern Rockies. Include GPS navigation with your car rental and perhaps you too can find the only known star garnets outside of India. If precious stones are not on the itinerary, look instead for Yukon Gold. These potatoes, along with Russets, are big business in Idaho.

The capital of Boise is a growing city, now third largest in the northwest after Seattle and Portland. Yet its name derives from the French for "wooded", and the city retains an outdoors feel for the adventurous at heart. Choose a SUV rental and explore the Boise River along the Greenbelt trail. Or see wildlife up close at the zoo in Julia Davis Park or at the World Center for Birds of Prey that is attempting to reintroduce falcons and condors into the wild.

Along the Snake River, drivers will come across Idaho Falls. Relive the Montana Trail and experience some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in northwest. Others may be in town for research as the area is a magnet for some of the country's best scientists. Book a rental car with Budget on your way to the area's largest employer, the Idaho National Laboratory.

Other towns of interest in Idaho include Pocatello, named after the Shoshoni chief, and Lewiston, named after Meriwether Lewis on his expedition with William Clark. Budget has car rental locations in both Idaho towns for your next northwest excursion.
