Rent a Car in Center

Lander is a picturesque climbing and outdoor town in central Wyoming at the foot of the Wind River Range and is served by 1 rental company in the center. Despite limited availability, Lander is an excellent hub for exploring Sinks Canyon State Park and Shoshone National Forest. The town is located 175 km southwest of Casper via US-26.

Sinks Canyon State Park, where the Middle Fork Popo Agie River disappears underground, is just 8 km south of Lander center. Wind River Indian Reservation, one of the largest in the USA, surrounds the area and offers cultural experiences. South Pass City, a historic gold mining settlement, is 60 km south via WY-28.

Book the only available rental car well in advance – Lander has extremely limited availability. Alternatively, rent in Casper (175 km) and drive to Lander with your rental car. Climbers should visit Wild Iris Mountain Sports in the center for local tips on Lander's world-famous limestone cliffs.

Why should I rent a car in Lander instead of Casper? If you arrive directly in the Lander area, you save 175 km of driving. But with only 1 rental company, availability is uncertain – always have a backup plan.
