Saving Tips
- Compare airport vs city pickup: BOI tacks on an 11 % concession fee + $6/day CFC. If you're hanging in downtown first, a $20 rideshare to an off-airport branch can slash $100-$200 on a week-long rental.
- Tweak your dates: Boise's rates spike Friday–Sunday in summer. Shifting pickup/return to a Tuesday or Wednesday often drops the daily price and shortens the rental by a day.
- Right-size the car: Boise streets and parking spots are compact-friendly. Renting an economy over an SUV can save $15-$30 per day and you'll burn less gas on those short Vista Ave runs.
- Join the free loyalty lanes: Programs like Emerald Club or Gold Desk let you skip the midday lines and sometimes unlock member-only promos—handy when BOI gets busy after the 12-3 pm flight dump.
- Refuel smart: Top off at Maverik (0.5 mi) or Costco (for members) before returning. Local pump prices beat the rental company's refill charge every time.

FAQs
Is there a gas station right at the airport?
The airport doesn't have a gas station on its property, but a Maverik is located about 0.5 miles from the terminal on Airport Way. This is the most convenient place to get gas before you return the car.
How early should I arrive to return my rental car?
You should plan to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your flight departs. Returning the car usually takes 15–20 minutes, and then you have a short walk to the terminal.
Can I change my vehicle type upon arrival if I see something I prefer?
Yes, as long as we have other cars available. Our airport locations usually have the biggest choice of cars, so you can often upgrade or change to a different car type. Just know this may change the price you pay.
Are there any restrictions on where I can drive a rental car from BOI?
Most cars you rent from BOI Airport give you unlimited mileage for driving in Idaho and nearby states. If you plan to drive to Canada, you may need extra paperwork. We do not allow off-road driving unless you rent a vehicle made for it.
