Cheap car hire at West Yellowstone airport
Top tips for hiring a car at West Yellowstone airport
- Car hire at West Yellowstone Airport (WYS) is very popular with visitors. The airport operates from June to September to facilitate travellers to the region and the Yellowstone National Park. This huge park has many incredible driving routes and an entire holiday can be spent within its 3,468 sq miles if you choose to camp or hire a lodge within it. There are organised tours of the park but the simplest and most enjoyable way to explore its mountains, lakes, valleys and other natural attractions is by car. The views are spectacular and you will want to spend time in unexpected areas and experience the natural surroundings slowly. This is much harder to do on public transport or organised tours that are on a schedule.
- The park is open all year round but the roads are not. Winter weather makes driving here difficult for tourists and so the roads close during the winter months. To really explore you need to plan your visit for the late spring and summer months.
- Returning your car to Yellowstone is straightforward and fast. As you approach the airport building you will see signs for the car hire car park. Park here and return your keys and paperwork to the car hire desks in the main terminal building. Everything is very close together. Once your car is checked you’ll be ready to go.
- Car hire at West Yellowstone Airport operates according to incoming and departing flight schedules and they generally work office hours. There shouldn't be any need to arrive outside these hours as flights very rarely operate from the airport at night or very early in the morning.
- Book your car hire at West Yellowstone airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
