Security deposits at Bozeman Airport range from $200 with Budget to $299 with Avis, and all 5 desks take credit cards only. None of the counters accept a debit card, so the main driver must bring a physical credit card with sufficient credit limit. Filter for debit cards in the price checker before you compare prices if you lack a credit card, though you will need alternative arrangements at Bozeman. Any optional extras charged at the desk appear listed with their prices under each vehicle.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The main catch at Bozeman Airport is payment: all 5 desks refuse debit cards and demand a credit card in the lead driver's name. Showing up with only a debit card leaves you stranded at the counter with nowhere else on the airfield to turn. Desk wait times also vary considerably between suppliers, running up to 32 minutes on average at Alamo compared to 10 minutes at Budget. Plan your arrival buffer accordingly so counter queues do not eat into mountain driving daylight.

Only 54% of prices at Bozeman Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

An Intermediate car like the Volkswagen Jetta or Toyota Rav4 costs around $81 a day at Bozeman Airport in October 2026 and fits 5 people. It seats 5 passengers but holds 3 bags, so filling every seat leaves luggage squeezed into the cabin. Stepping down to a Compact Jeep Renegade saves $11 a day at $70, while stepping up to a Fullsize Chevrolet Malibu costs $93. Every vehicle offered is an automatic, so you will not pay extra to avoid shifting gears on steep climbs, while electric and hybrid options are entirely absent.
