KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Spokane

  • The charming city of Spokane is easy to navigate and has light traffic, which means a car is the quickest, most efficient and comfortable way to explore the area on your own schedule. A car will also allow you to discover other destinations outside the city, such as Spokane Valley, which is only 10 miles east of the city and is home to more than 70 lakes and rivers. If you're visiting in the winter, make the most of the ski season by heading to the city's five ski resorts, which are all located within driving reach.
  • All the major car hire agencies, including Alamo, Enterprise, and Hertz, can be found at Spokane International Airport (GEG), which is approximately 5 miles west of Spokane's city center. The car hire desks are located in the Ground Transportation Center so, if you're arriving by air, just follow the ground transportation signs after landing. Most agencies are open from early in the morning (6 to 7 a.m.) until late in the evening (11 p.m. to 12 a.m.).
  • Even though the city experiences a great flow of tourists throughout the year, driving downtown is relatively easy compared to other big cities in the country. Traffic rules in the city are pretty straightforward, but remember that all exits are on the right-hand side of the road. Winter driving may be the trickiest part, so make sure you have good snow tires and that you keep plenty of distance between your vehicle and others'.
  • Traffic in Spokane generally flows nicely all throughout the day, but driving during rush hour can add extra time to your travels. Avoid driving into the city or to the airport between 6 and 9 a.m., or out of the city towards the residential areas between 4 and 7 p.m. Traffic congestion only gets worse when it snows in the winter, as well as during road construction season, with one of the busiest commutes being the stretch from downtown east on I-90 to the valley exits.
  • Book your rental car in Spokane at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Spokane are around 154% more expensive than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Spokane

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Spokane?

    If you're visiting in the summer, a spacious car such as a sedan or a small SUV may be a good option. If you're visiting in the winter, you'll need at least a front-wheel drive car and good snow tires even when driving on plowed roads, but an all-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive will make your driving experience safer, especially in areas where you may encounter thick snow.

  • What’s the speed limit in Spokane?

    The basic speed limit in Spokane is usually 25 miles per hour on residential roads, and 30 miles per hour on arterials, unless the posted signs say otherwise. County roads have a speed limit of 50 miles per hour, while state highways have a maximum speed limit of 60 miles per hour.

  • Where are the best places to park in Spokane?

    Parking spaces near the city's main attractions are plentiful.

I loved the fact all the staff in Spokane were friendly, courteous and very helpful. I was traveling with a friend needing wheelchair assistance - staff assisted load the car with luggage as well as assist my friend.in and out of the car. The SUV was clean and well serviced. Staff assisted set up the GPS in the car. Upon return staff were efficient and quick so we could arrive at the airline desk quickly and on time. I cannot think of anything I would improve upon. The cost was more than acceptable and reasonable. I would definitely use Thrifty again and am more than willing to share my experience and recommend Thrift to any of my contacts.

Not a good experience. From the unending attempts to upsell, the missing customer info, and ultimately giving us a vehicle that broke down on us, the experience at GEG Hertz was miserable. Both vehicles (Jeep Gladiators) experienced death wobble which kept us fighting to stay on the road and on schedule.

My car is original drop off. Location was changed at pick up to be dropped off at Spokane international airport and picked up at Spokane international, my original booking was to pick my car up at Spokane international and drop my car off at Gallatin Bozeman airport.

Pros:

Nice, new car. Quick service downtown.

Cons:

The Spokane airport location wouldn’t rent me a car and I had to Uber downtown to pick up. They gave me a car with Canadian plates and a metric speedometer, so it was difficult to judge speed. Rental was very expensive and they nickel and dime you for insurance coverage. Even the basic, minimal plan is a gouge.

I had a good experience—great car, gas mileage and check-in staff. My one complaint was when I needed to phone Budget about getting a scratch on the car, the phone tree was confusing and poorly worded. It caused me to have to phone in several times and be on hold for lengthy times.
