About Renting a Car at Bozeman Airport
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) is Montana's fastest-growing airport with a total of 11 rental agencies - the most in the state. The airport is 13 km northwest of Bozeman downtown and is the closest airport to Yellowstone's northern entrance, 145 km south via US-191. Big Sky Resort can be reached 75 km south.
Bozeman has grown explosively in recent years and attracts both tourists and newcomers with its combination of university town (Montana State University) and outdoor paradise. The Gallatin River, famous from the film "A River Runs Through It," flows south of the city and is popular for fly fishing. Book your rental car at least 2-3 months in advance for the summer season - BZN is extremely popular and cars sell out quickly.
Rent an SUV for the Big Sky area - the road to the ski resort can be icy and snowy. Drive Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, 5 hours north - one of the USA's most beautiful roads. How far is it from BZN to Yellowstone's northern entrance?
About 145 km south via US-191 through Gallatin Canyon, approximately 2 hours' drive. Is there electric vehicle charging at Bozeman Airport? Yes, there are charging stations in the airport's parking area, and Bozeman downtown has several public charging points.
Can I return the rental car in Billings if I fly home from there? Yes, most of the 11 rental agencies offer one-way rentals between BZN and BIL, but expect a drop-off fee.
We compare prices from all major providers at Bozeman Airport so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
