Deposits held on cards at Spokane Airport range from $200 with Budget to $299 with Avis, and none of the 5 rental desks take a debit card. All 5 desks take credit cards only for your security deposit. You must bring a credit card in the lead driver's name or the counter will refuse your pickup. Extras charged at the desk are listed under each car with their price.

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

The main catch at Spokane Airport is payment: all 5 desks take credit cards only, so turning up with a debit card leaves you stranded without a car. Every desk is located inside the terminal, but desk wait times vary considerably. Avis averages 17 minutes, while Budget averages 33 minutes. If you arrive when flights bunch up, an extra quarter of an hour at the counter quickly eats into your driving schedule.

Only 49% of prices at Spokane Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

At Spokane Airport, an Intermediate car like a Volkswagen Jetta costs around $62 a day in October 2026 and fits 5 people with 4 bags. That extra luggage space avoids the boot squeeze of a Compact Nissan Versa, which costs $55 but takes 3 bags. Stepping down to an Economy Mitsubishi Mirage costs $49 but takes just 2 bags, which makes a full car uncomfortable on highway runs. Every car offered is automatic, while hybrid cars make up only 1% of cars offered, so expect a standard petrol model.
