Driving in Kalispell is wonderful, beautiful views. Beware locals will blow past you on the highways.

Plonked amidst various scenic lakes and beautiful national parks, renting a car in Kalispell is definitely a must to seize the chance and explore not only inner Kalispell and its casinos, but also the breathtaking surroundings encasing the city. Flathead Lake, for instance, is only a 15-minute ride away, and within a 1-3 hours’ drive you can be in the many surrounding refuges and national forests to explore the beautiful scenery of Montana.
The Glacier Park International Airport lies about 10 miles north of Kalispell and sports various car rental agencies on the airport grounds, including Avis, Hertz, Alamo, and National. The four agencies are located at the terminal close to the Baggage Claim area, and within approximately 20 minutes travelers can be at the center of Kalispell. There are also further off-site agencies that offer shuttle services to and from the airport.
Montana has particularly scenic and breathtaking scenery, but it is also a pitfall when it comes to concentrating while driving. Remember to stay focused and don’t let the wonderful surroundings distract you. Drunk driving and distracted driving are still the most common reasons why accidents are caused here. Make sure to take regular breaks, especially when driving over longer stretches of road, and change drivers regularly if possible.
When venturing out of Kalispell to explore the surrounding parks, make sure to adapt your speed to the winding mountain roads, especially in winter. When visiting Kalispell in winter, generally ensure that the rental car is properly equipped and has winter tires attached. Also, if necessary, rent snow chains and carry some snacks, a blanket, and a thermos with you. When driving in Kalispell, also bear in mind that, due to the piled up snow on either side, the streets will be narrower.

Passenger van

I accidentally put my pickup time as noon, but arrived at 10 am. I was peremptorily told by the clerk that they would refuse to allow me to pickup my rental until 11:50 at the earliest. She didn't even try to see if a vehicle in my class was ready. (I rented a 15 passenger van- I saw 8-10 ready on the lot.) No budging. The manager gave me the same attitude- just didn't care, couldn't be bothered about the HUGE inconvenience they put me to, with my family of 6 in tow. And then when I came back, the manager tried to give me some small SUV, which betrayed his lack of attention to serving me well. Utterly disappointing.

Car class reserved 2 weeks in advance was "unavailable". Rental counter provide an alternate vehicle, but the vehicle had fairly significant front end accident damage, was dirty outside (HEAVY coating of dead bugs) and inside (cargo area had lots of dog hair and mud), and one of the rear seats was not functioning / movable. Not a great experience with a planned and reserved in advance rental.
