KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Spokane

  • The charming city of Spokane is easy to navigate and has light traffic, which means a car is the quickest, most efficient and comfortable way to explore the area on your own schedule. A car will also allow you to discover other destinations outside the city, such as Spokane Valley, which is only 10 miles east of the city and is home to more than 70 lakes and rivers. If you're visiting in the winter, make the most of the ski season by heading to the city's five ski resorts, which are all located within driving reach.
  • All the major car hire agencies, including Alamo, Enterprise, and Hertz, can be found at Spokane International Airport (GEG), which is approximately 5 miles west of Spokane's city center. The car hire desks are located in the Ground Transportation Center so, if you're arriving by air, just follow the ground transportation signs after landing. Most agencies are open from early in the morning (6 to 7 a.m.) until late in the evening (11 p.m. to 12 a.m.).
  • Even though the city experiences a great flow of tourists throughout the year, driving downtown is relatively easy compared to other big cities in the country. Traffic rules in the city are pretty straightforward, but remember that all exits are on the right-hand side of the road. Winter driving may be the trickiest part, so make sure you have good snow tires and that you keep plenty of distance between your vehicle and others'.
  • Traffic in Spokane generally flows nicely all throughout the day, but driving during rush hour can add extra time to your travels. Avoid driving into the city or to the airport between 6 and 9 a.m., or out of the city towards the residential areas between 4 and 7 p.m. Traffic congestion only gets worse when it snows in the winter, as well as during road construction season, with one of the busiest commutes being the stretch from downtown east on I-90 to the valley exits.
  • Book your rental car in Spokane at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Spokane are around 61% cheaper than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Spokane 
Verified travelerDec 2023
I found driving in Spokane very similar to my home in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. There are a few more one way streets than I am use to but driving a vehicle similar to my own left me feeling comfortable driving and able to concentrate on the roads. This was an overall great experience. Thank you

If you are going to drive down to visit the Redwoods in California, don't take any fruit; it may be confiscated.

It was the rental pickup in Seattle that was the problem, no problem at all with my dropoff in Spokane

Rental cars are always limited in Spokane. Always reserve well in advance for best pricing and selection.

FAQs about renting a car in Spokane

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Spokane?

    If you're visiting in the summer, a spacious car such as a sedan or a small SUV may be a good option.

I loved the fact all the staff in Spokane were friendly, courteous and very helpful. I was traveling with a friend needing wheelchair assistance - staff assisted load the car with luggage as well as assist my friend.in and out of the car. The SUV was clean and well serviced. Staff assisted set up the GPS in the car. Upon return staff were efficient and quick so we could arrive at the airline desk quickly and on time. I cannot think of anything I would improve upon. The cost was more than acceptable and reasonable. I would definitely use Thrifty again and am more than willing to share my experience and recommend Thrift to any of my contacts.

Not a good experience. From the unending attempts to upsell, the missing customer info, and ultimately giving us a vehicle that broke down on us, the experience at GEG Hertz was miserable. Both vehicles (Jeep Gladiators) experienced death wobble which kept us fighting to stay on the road and on schedule.

Everything was very quick and smooth -- it was easily my best rental experience ever. The most trouble I had with anything was just getting the vehicle out of the space; the returns were pretty close behind my rental.

I had a good experience—great car, gas mileage and check-in staff. My one complaint was when I needed to phone Budget about getting a scratch on the car, the phone tree was confusing and poorly worded. It caused me to have to phone in several times and be on hold for lengthy times.

Pros:

Nice, new car. Quick service downtown.

Cons:

The Spokane airport location wouldn’t rent me a car and I had to Uber downtown to pick up. They gave me a car with Canadian plates and a metric speedometer, so it was difficult to judge speed. Rental was very expensive and they nickel and dime you for insurance coverage. Even the basic, minimal plan is a gouge.
