How old do you need to be to rent a car in Montana?

I have about a month of PTO built up that I lose if I don’t take it. Because I have so much time, I’m going to explore the entirety of Montana. I’m only 24, so I’m not sure if I’m old enough to rent a car—what age do you need to be to rent a car in Montana?

Even if you’re 24, you shouldn’t have any problem going on your road trip. You only need to be 21 years old to rent a car in
Montana
.
However, there’s a bit of red tape that comes with it. Since you’re under the age of 25, the car rental company will likely charge a young driver fee, as well as restrict the type of vehicle you can rent. Don’t take it personally; these are standard restrictions and fees for young drivers.
Remember that you can also decline the
rental car insurance
if you already have a personal car insurance policy. Most car insurance policies cover rental cars, so skip the extra charge and spend it on something more fun.
Montana is a massive state, so you’re going to fill up the tank quite a bit. To offset some of this cost, use the
