Cheap car hire at Kalispell Glacier Park airport
Top tips for hiring a car at Kalispell Glacier Park airport
- More than ten car rental companies serve travelers at Kalispell Glacier Park International Airport (FCA). The best way to rent is to book ahead of time through KAYAK. Getting around Montana from FCA by car outshines all other forms of transportation. The chances of hopping on a bus are very slim, not to mention that the system has designated stops scheduled at an interval of 1h 30min. Also, buses are only available from 9 am to 5 pm, and do not operate on Saturdays and Sundays. For this reason, most visitors flying into the capital of Flathead County prefer getting a car rental at Kalispell Glacier Park Airport because the service is guaranteed no matter the time or day of the week.
- When you book a vehicle from one of the Kalispell Glacier Park Airport car rental agencies, a few tips can help you save time finding your way in and out of the airport. First, make use of the signage directing you to the counters and pick-up points. Alternatively, ask the car rental associates where the cars are parked as they are always happy to help. There isn’t much vehicle flow from the airport to the small town in the morning. But you can avoid traffic caused by public buses at 9 am if you pick up your rental car earlier. Return the car before 4 pm to evade the evening traffic jam.
- The return areas for car rentals at Kalispell Glacier Park Airport are located a few yards from the terminal. Some of the returns are located at 4170 Us Hwy 2 East within the airport. Normally, you should return the car at the same parking lot that you picked it up from. Only one-way rentals are returned to another location other than the airport branch. Such trips often carry an additional fee. It is very important to indicate at the time of booking whether you’ll use a different drop-off location.
- Avoid late-return fees by dropping off the vehicle within the time indicated in the rental contract. Note that each supplier has a unique opening and closing time of their offices. For instance, National’s operating hours are from 8 am to 11.30 pm. However, they provide after-hour returns. If you return the vehicle past 11.30 pm, there’s no need wait to for a customer agent so you can hand over the key and any paperwork. A drop box is conveniently located at the return area for you to place these items and leave.
- Book your car hire at Kalispell Glacier Park airport at least 2 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Is my spouse allowed to drive a rental car I have obtained from the Kalispell Glacier Park Airport branch?

Most car rental companies operating at FCA allow clients to drive to Canada. However, this is only possible with certain vehicle classes like large passenger vans and exotic models.

Cons:
I asked for a full size car, was given a compact SUV, was told that was an upgrade. Negative, the Chevy Malibu I requested has more cubic square feet over all than that compact SUV. We had a wedding party for our daughter's wedding and wanted the space, but I could barely get our luggage in this compact, much less more people with room.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
dollar rental was very friendly and helpful. When our flight was delayed Avis would not assure us that we would have a suv to rent.Cons:
If someone is willing to pay for a suv even though they can't pick it up when planned, they should make sure the suv is there when they get there.2.0 Poor

Cons:
This was at Glacier National Airport in Kalispell, MT. Made the reservation with Avis because the value was reasonable and they were open at 8 AM when I needed to pick up the car and make it to an appointment. Arrived at 8 AM and two people at the counter, neither of which could rent me the car because they did not work the front desk. They said the person was running late and would be in shortly. Thirty minutes later, the front desk person was still not there. Could not wait any longer so I went to Budget and they had just what I needed and for the same price. Avis lost the rental and a customer.8.0 Very Good

Cons:
The tires on my rental required filling every other day. As soon as I left the lot, the tire light came on....luckily nothing happened and they didn’t deflate completely but I still feel like this should have been looked at prior to me drivingHertz

Pros:
we were able to pick up the car quicklyCons:
The car itself was not good. When we asked if the car had 4 wheel drive we were told we would be fine without it without ever inquiring into where we were going-we could’ve used four wheel drive. While driving just along the highways themselves the car had difficulty maintaining speed and struggled at the slightest incline. The Bluetooth connection in the car was spotty at best; not to mention if you need to plug your phone in it wouldn’t play navigation from that phone anymore. If any of us had been traveling alone with this vehicle it would’ve been almost dangerous trying to read navigation from our phones the whole time. Having a good system for navigation on a rental car should absolutely be standard.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
We did a one way rental and everything went as planned. Staff at both enterprise locations were efficient and very professional.Cons:
We arrived early into Whitefish and had hoped to pick up our vehicle early but there was insufficient inventory. Not the company’s fault but some flexibility would have been ideal.8.8 Very Good

Pros:
at drop off, I explained that the gas tank was FULL. After reviewing the bill before boarding my flight, I discovered that I was charged for the cost of $97 for fuel. I had to go back to the agent (behind the security) and she corrected it. I find this annoying as it is a basic component of checking out a rental car. Other attendants go over the statement LINE by LINE. Not at this station. Peculiar, With kind regards, Roger van den BerghCons:
Please pay attention at checkout.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Very friendly staff, no line and easy rental process.Cons:
I wasn't sure how to return the vehicle - had to take keys to the desk unlike other rental experiences where someone is there waiting to check you in or you leave the keys in the car. Signage would have helped as we were in a rush.4.0 Mediocre

Pros:
I liked the rental once I got one.Cons:
The first rental not properly working, it wouldn’t start up right away, the car had several dents and scratches on the car, it also smelled like smoke. When I made the reservation counter aware, they acted as if there wasn’t a problem. Business as usual.10.0 Wonderful
