On average, car rentals at Jackson Hole Airport cost around $92 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $30 per day.
Skip the airport premium – search downtown Jackson pickups and ride the free shuttle; you'll dodge the ~10 % airport concession fee.
Time your booking to the season. July–Aug and Dec–Mar sell out, so lock in 3-6 months ahead. In shoulder months (May, late Sept–Oct) watch prices and re-book if they drop 3-4 weeks out.
Tweak pickup/drop-off times. Shifting from a weekend to mid-week or avoiding late-night counter hours can shave dollars off the daily rate.
Compare nearby airports. Adding Idaho Falls (2 hrs) or Salt Lake City (5 hrs) to your search often reveals cheaper fleets when Jackson inventory is tight.

Is a 4WD or AWD vehicle necessary in Jackson Hole?
In summer (May–October), any type of car is fine for paved roads. For winter travel (November–April), you'll want an AWD or 4WD vehicle, especially if you plan to drive over mountain passes or during snowfall.
What are the age requirements to rent a car in Jackson?
Most rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old and charge an extra daily fee (about $25–$30) for anyone under 25.
Do I need chains or snow tires in winter?
Rental cars usually have all-season tires, not special winter tires. During winter storms, you might need a 4WD/AWD vehicle or chains for Teton Pass and other mountain roads. Be aware that many rental companies don't let you put chains on their cars.
Can I take a rental car into Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks?
Yes, you can drive rental cars on all park roads. Just remember that you have to pay park entrance fees and some roads close for the season. The parks don't allow off-road driving, which would break your rental agreement.
How far in advance should I book a rental car for Jackson Hole?
For summer visits (June–August), you should book 3–6 months in advance. For the winter ski season, try booking 2–3 months ahead. If you wait until the last minute to book for summer, rentals can be very expensive or totally unavailable.
