12 Sep - 3 OctCar rental in Montana whilst on holiday is almost mandatory, given the wide open areas between places of interest in this state. Aside from public transport to and around attractions such as Yellowstone National Park, renting a car would be a necessity if you plan to take it all in. Between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, which both feature in the state, winters can be very harsh as the icy winds blow down from the Arctic, and this may require a vehicle with four-wheel or all-wheel drive capabilities. Companies specialising in car rental in Montana would be able to assist with the applicable type of vehicle to match road conditions, which can deteriorate with snow and ice, combined with clay in the soil. Thus, cheap car rental in Montana may still require quite a big vehicle. As with the rest of the US, road conditions are mostly good. There are three interstate highways that traverse the state: the I-15, I-90 and I-94. The I-15 spans the breadth of the US, from Mexico to Canada, while the I-90 spans the length of the country, from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Driving laws vary from state to state; while cell phone use when driving is banned in most states, in Montana it is not – although, some cities have made it illegal within their city boundaries. Drivers may apply for a learner’s licence from as young as 14.5 years and can get an intermediate licence at 15, with a full licence at age 16 – so this may be a great place to teach your children how to drive (provided that you can get the consent of the car rental company for this). Seatbelt use is mandatory in the state, though policing thereof is somewhat relaxed. Drunk driving carries penalties; though, the legal blood alcohol limit is higher than in some other states.
For car hire in Montana, you will first need a driver’s licence in English (with photo identification); it’s always a good idea to take an international driving permit with you, just to be on the safe side. Some companies may require a utility bill with proof of address for verification. Car hire is only available to persons over 21, and there is a surcharge for drivers younger than 25. On this note – it’s best to take out some form of insurance.
