Most Boise car rentals are picked up at Boise Airport (BOI), where Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, Alamo and National keep on-site counters by baggage claim. LF Tours compares all 8 brands in one search, with 24/7 live agents who answer in about 7 seconds — no chatbots. Call +1 (888) 381-2713 to book.
LF Tours is operated by Lease N Fly Inc., a company registered in Canada in 2025 (BN: 775997034RC0001), and it works the Boise market the same way it serves 50+ cities across the USA and Canada: by pulling live rates from Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, Sixt, Europcar, Alamo and National into a single comparison. What sets it apart for a Boise traveler landing at BOI is the support model — it is the only car rental comparison platform where a live human answers your call in an average of 7 seconds, with no chatbots and no hold queue.
Economy car rentals in Boise start around $49 per day on the LF Tours platform, with SUVs, pickups and minivans priced higher — useful to know if you are heading up to Bogus Basin in winter and want all-wheel drive, or loading the family for a Greenbelt-and-river summer. Boise is a seasonal market: rates and availability tighten in summer for outdoor recreation and again during ski season, and they spike on Boise State University football weekends and fall move-in. Booking two to three weeks out typically lands the best rate, and comparing all eight brands at once stops you overpaying on the first counter you see.
Because prices move daily, treat the figures above as a starting range rather than a fixed quote — run a live Boise search to see today's real numbers across every brand.
No single company is always cheapest in Boise. On any given set of dates the lowest price can land with Budget or Alamo on an economy car, then flip to Enterprise, National, Hertz or Avis once you switch to an SUV or van, or change your pickup time. Sixt and Europcar are also part of the LF Tours comparison, broadening your options even though they don't staff a counter inside BOI. Rather than open eight tabs, LF Tours ranks all eight side by side so you can see the cheapest Boise option for your exact trip in one view.

Boise Airport (BOI) keeps things simple: the rental counters sit on the first floor right by the baggage-claim carousels, and the vehicles are a short walk away in the adjacent lot — no shuttle to a remote facility. Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, Alamo and National all maintain staffed counters there. One thing to plan around: most brands at BOI rent to drivers 21 and over but add a young-driver surcharge of roughly $25 per day for ages 21 to 24, and 12- to 15-passenger vans are generally restricted to drivers 25 and up. If you are under 25 or need a large van, tell our agents up front and they will filter for the lowest qualifying total.
Summer trips along the Boise River Greenbelt and into the foothills do fine in an economy car or compact SUV, but a winter run up to Bogus Basin is safer in an all-wheel-drive SUV. Filter by vehicle type before you compare prices.
Boise sits on the I-84 corridor, which makes nearby cities easy add-ons: Nampa is about 22 miles (~25 minutes) west, and Twin Falls is roughly 128 miles (~2 hours) east toward the Snake River Canyon. A rental opens those up without a second booking.
Boise State University move-in and home football Saturdays pull rental demand sharply upward downtown and near the airport. Lock your car in early for those dates, or call a live agent if everything looks sold out.

There is no single cheapest brand in Boise — the best price moves between Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, Sixt, Europcar, Alamo and National depending on your dates and vehicle class. That is exactly why LF Tours compares all eight in one search instead of making you check each site. Run a free Boise search at lftours.com to see who is lowest for your trip right now.
Airport counters at BOI are the most convenient but can carry airport concession fees, while off-airport and downtown Boise locations sometimes price lower if you can reach them. The savings vary by brand and date, so it is worth comparing both. LF Tours lets you line up airport and off-airport Boise pickups side by side in a single search.
Boise rental demand peaks in summer for Greenbelt and river-recreation trips and again in ski season heading up to Bogus Basin, so those periods cost more and sell out faster. Spring and late fall usually have the best rates and widest availability. Book early for summer and football weekends — call +1 (888) 381-2713 if everything looks tight and a live agent will check all eight brands for you.
