Can I rent a car seat while traveling?

My husband and I are bringing little Theo on his first vacation! We’re flying into Jackson Hole, and we don’t want to pack Theo’s bulky car seat. Can we rent a car seat while we’re traveling?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Congratulations on the well-deserved family vacation. We’ve got good news—it’s a simple process to rent a car seat while you’re traveling.
If you’re renting a car, almost any rental company will allow you to also rent a car seat at a small additional fee. You’ll likely pay around $13 a day for a car seat rental.
It is wise to call ahead to ensure car seats are available from your rental company. Rental companies will allow you to reserve a seat ahead of your trip.
For drivers who want to use their own car seat, shipping your car seat to your vacation destination is another great choice. This will likely be the pricier option, however.
When renting, it’s wise to invest in rental car insurance. Use the insurance broker app
