What types of cars can I rent in Alta?
Mini, intermediate, full-size, premium … Whatever you prefer! However, compact models are the most popular in Alta. If you’re looking for something small and affordable, but not too small, this category of rental car is a smart choice. Driving around bustling streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars offer slightly more room compared to economy rides and are well-suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
Where can I go on a road trip from Alta?
With your own wheels, exploring the surrounding areas is as easy as putting your foot on the gas. Alta is a great place to start, but there’s loads more to enjoy in the region. Pick up the keys to a home, fling your bags in the trunk and take a peek at these other terrific locations:

  • Home to attractions galore, Logan is around 129 kilometres from Alta. First stop on the list? Make a beeline for Utah State University, one of this city’s highlights.
  • Around 72 kilometres away, Ogden is another city worth sticking on your road trip itinerary. Don’t miss Waterfall Canyon Trail while you’re in the area.
  • No road trip is complete without exploring National Elk Refuge. This delightful nature spot is roughly 338 kilometres from Alta. Enjoy the fresh air and relax!

Why should I rent an Alta car with Expedia?

Our exclusive offers, member prices and rewards programmes will help you get the most out of your travel budget. And if you want to save more, combine your bookings into a holiday package.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Alta with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare fees, offers and home providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Alta car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you’ll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alta?
Alta requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual home rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Alta?
Most home companies will need these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What is the cheapest car rental in Alta?
The two cheapest daily prices on offer in Alta within the past seven days were AU$119 and AU$172. How’s that for an awesome deal? These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alta?
Yes, and the great news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your holiday home term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Alta and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find an Alta car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Alta providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Alta with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the details before you book!
