While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Salt Lake City?

Rental cars in Salt Lake City will benefit from the large streets and the relatively new system of freeways in the city. Because of this, there is not a lot of congestion on roadways in Salt Lake City. The only times you will find some amount of congestion is during the morning and evening rush hour. One of the great reasons to have a car in this area is to make the trip to mountain resorts like Park City found east of the city. These locations offer a great place to visit practically any time of the year. Like a lot of cities found in the western United States, this city is not walkable and because of that, there's a great need to have a cheap car rental to visit all of the amazing locations the city has to offer.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Salt Lake City?

One important thing to remember for hiring a car in Salt Lake City is that using your mobile phone while you drive is illegal. Turning right on a red light is allowed so long as there is no sign prohibiting it from occurring. All passengers in a vehicle must wear a seatbelt. Young children must ride in an approved child safety seat. For the most up-to-date information about driving in Utah, it is best to contact the local Department of Motor Vehicles.

Will I need a special driving license or permit to drive a rental car in Salt Lake City if I’m visiting from another country?

If you are looking for Salt Lake City car rentals, you will need a driving license from your home state or province that is current and valid. All renters must be at least 21 years of age. If you are a traveler that is visiting from a country other than the United States or Canada, you can use your driving license to rent a car so long as the driving license is in English. If it is not, it is advised that you also provide an international driver's permit to help verify your identity to the car rental agency. You may not rent a car solely with an international driver's permit.

Very good experience overall. Rental counter agent was great to deal with. Unfortunately, the vehicle originally assigned to me was not parked in the garage spot indicated (nor anywhere else in the garage, as far as I could tell. This required me to go back to the rental counter with all my bags and get another car assigned. The second time, the car was in the indicated spot. No harm done but I did lose at least a half hour because of the problem. Otherwise, I would have no recommendations for improvement.

So if you do not have good credit or a credit card you cannot rent a car they run a soft credit check before you rent the car they dont tell you until you get to the office. Very very un cool me and my 9 year old daughter had to get from salt lake city utah to caro michigan and got stuuck in salt lake because no credit card or good credit dont you think if i had good credit i would be coming to a "car rental" to get a rude home ignorant and stupid

Good experience with pick up in SLC. Frustration with drop off in Vegas - address did not include exact location- just a huge hotel property. Somehow we were supposed to know the drop off was on the 10th story of the parking garage? Garage was not clearly marked with area to drop keys. Said to put key in the envelope and make time/mileage. No envelopes. Frustrating and took twice as long as expected - making us miss our evening show engagement - a cost of over $200….

I did not like anything about the Hertz in Salt Lake City. We were late to the place because our flight was cancelled and we were rebooked on a different flight that arrived little later than the original. By the time reached Hertz, there all cars were rented and we were offered a tiny SUV which could not accommodate 4 adults and 5 carry-on bags. The attendant was very rude and refused to give us any car because I raised my voice. We were in Utah for 10 days. We could not use the small SUV for tat many days. I will never ever rent from Hertz anymore. I had called them twice and confirmed the car. But, still they had no mid-size SUV for us. I think they just did not have any cars to rent and made it look like they were rented prior to us getting there. The attendant insulted us several times. Me raising my voice was warranted because we were left without a car. This was the worst experience we've ever had travelling anywhere in the world!

All in all, everything went well, except for one small detail. The technical condition of the car leaves much to be desired. Throughout my journey, there was a huge hum and vibration in the rear axle of the car for over 2,000 miles. It looked like a wheel bearing malfunction, or unfinished wheels were very unpleasant to drive all the way, whether you would reach the end point or not. All the way, I had to listen to very loud music so that Togo wouldn't listen to that sound.

I will never use Kayak again to book a rental. I entered the dates of my trip but they defaulted to something else when I booked the trip and then I was unable to correct the dates and my money was not refundable. I have had great experience with Enterprise in the past, and purchased my current car from them, but this experience with Kayak has completely soured my feelings. I rebooked a rental though Hertz, and while it cost more, it was a great experience overall. I will book directly with Hertz for my future needs.

If you do not have a credit card , you cannot rent a car from a place to another. You have to bring back the car at the same place where you did take the car. And that despite kayak approved the trip. So i could not have a car arrived at the airport as expected and planed for my trip to another airport. I had to find a solution by myself with a competitor and it was for sure more expensive. If you do have to rent a car from a place to another and if you do not have a credit card but only a debit card as me do not use kayak as they will put you in a delicate situation.

The counter staff at the Salt Lake City Budget was rude and unhelpful. When we arrived, he informed us that he did not have the 7 passenger one way rental that we reserved back in January. He told us that we could take another car but could not tell us if it was for 5 or 7. He told us to wait while he checked with another budget person in the car pick up area. He ignored us for over 30 minutes and when we returned to the counter, he continued his rude attitude and acted like it was my problem that the car I reserved was not present. In the meantime, my husband went directly to the car pick up area and spoke with "Johnnie" who was extremely helpful. Johnnie reported he had the 7 passenger car and had tried to call the counter staff multiple times but he did not pick up. The counter staff should not be working in customer services. He lacks interpersonal skills and is made no effort to help the situation. This reflects very poorly on Budget that they allow this person to be the first interaction with customers.

I waited in line to pick up the car for over an hour. Once I was able to get to the counter, they charged a higher price than I was quoted by Kayak and gave me a smaller SUV, not an intermediate SUV (which is what I reserved). They said I could only get a bigger car for a higher price. I will not use Dollar again.

Pickup and dropoff were quick and easy and the vehicle was clean. I traveled for a ski vacation with a large ski bag and reserved an Intermediate SUV, a "Nissan Rogue" or equivalent. They gave me a tiny Chevy Trax and my ski bag would not fit in the vehicle without having the back seat and the front passenger seat in the down position. The Trax is much smaller than the Rogue and transporting the ski bag in it was inconvenient. How disappointing. Beware.

Poor|Oct 2022

After waiting in line for an hour - along with dozens of others, we finally got to the desk only to be told that it would be a two-hour wait for a car despite having a reservation. When I inquired whether there were other vehicles available I was told that they only had pickup trucks currently. When I said that would be fine, the desk agent informed me that I would have to pay an upgraded rate. The desk agent was as kind and sympathetic and blamed the issue on the manager - who was nowhere to be found. We were able to walk next door to Enterprise and secure a vehicle at a cheaper rate in 10 minutes. The manager at Dollar in SLC needs to be fired.
