Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Missoula?

Accepted Answer

With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much harder to explore everything that Stevensville, 25 miles away, has to offer. Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge ought to be at the top of your to-do list here. St. Mary's Mission and Blacksmith Brewing Company are fantastic attractions too. Don't forget about Charlo either! Just 40 miles away, National Bison Range, Nine Pipe Reservoir and Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana are must-sees here.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Missoula?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can explore Missoula without renting a vehicle. But with loads to discover here, having one would certainly make your getaway more fun and convenient. If you're eager to head out of the city and into some nature, pick a car with some power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will take you to the surrounding prairies in roomy style. Rather spend most of your getaway near the bright lights of the city? A compact or mini car is a wise choice. Driving around busy streets and squeezing into tight parking spots will be a piece of cake in one of these.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Missoula?

Accepted Answer

For some, owning a high-end vehicle is the stuff of fairy tales. But renting the car of your dreams is far more achievable than you might think! Imagine the joy of tearing down the open road in a swish sports car, even if it's only for a short while. Or perhaps all you're chasing is a budget ride to get you from A to B. Flashy or frugal? Whatever you decide, one thing's for sure — there's a rental car to suit your style in Missoula.
