Spokane Car Rental Guide: Where to Pick Up and What to Expect

Renting a car in Spokane is one of the easiest ways to get around because attractions are spread out and public transit may not be convenient for day trips. A rental car helps you reach places like Riverside State Park, Mount Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, and wine country on your own schedule. Expect the best availability at the airport, while downtown locations can be cheaper and faster if you’re already in the city. In winter, consider all-season tires or AWD for snow and icy conditions, especially if you’re heading to higher elevations.

Spokane International Airport (GEG) Car Rental Center

Best for convenience and selection. Major brands typically operate at or near the terminal area with clear on-site signage. Follow airport signs for “Rental Cars” after baggage claim; most pickups are a short walk or a quick shuttle depending on the provider and lot location.

Downtown Spokane (Central Business District)

Pros: Often lower base rates than airport (no airport facility fees), easy for hotel guests, and quick in-and-out for local pickups. Cons: Shorter business hours, smaller vehicle selection, and limited weekend availability compared with the airport.

Spokane Valley (East of Downtown)

Pros: Convenient if you’re staying in Spokane Valley or heading toward Idaho; sometimes good availability for larger vehicles. Cons: Usually requires a rideshare/bus to reach, and returning the car can add time if your flight departs from GEG.

Airport Pickup (GEG)

Downtown Pickup

Choose GEG for Maximum Convenience and Vehicle Choice

Airport rentals are ideal if you’re flying into Spokane and want to start driving immediately. You’ll typically find longer operating hours, more vehicle categories (including SUVs and AWD), and easier one-way options. Keep in mind that airport facility charges and related fees can make the total cost higher than off-airport locations, so compare the all-in price.

Popular Trips:

Silverwood Theme Park (Athol, ID)

Car Rental Planning Tips for Spokane Road Trips

Bring the right documents: Have a valid driver’s license, a credit card in the main driver’s name, and your booking confirmation. Out-of-state visitors should double-check age requirements and any under-25 fees.

Understand insurance before you pick up the keys: Review what your personal auto policy or credit card may cover, then decide whether to add the rental company’s collision damage waiver (CDW) and liability options.

Plan for winter and shoulder-season conditions: Spokane-area routes can include snow, ice, and mountain weather. Ask about all-season tires, consider AWD for higher elevations, and carry chains if required for certain passes.

Refuel strategically outside the city: On rural routes (especially toward the Palouse), services can be sparse. Top off in Spokane/Spokane Valley or along I‑90 before heading onto state highways.

Download offline maps and watch for limited cell coverage: Some scenic highways and state parks have spotty reception. Save your route in advance and keep key addresses/park entrances handy.

Know parking expectations at hot spots: Downtown Coeur d’Alene, popular trailheads, and summer attractions can fill up quickly. Arrive early and budget time for parking during peak weekends.

Build in photo and viewpoint time: Many of the best stops (Palouse overlooks, lakefront parks, mountain viewpoints) are short detours but add time. A flexible itinerary makes the day feel easier.

Check child seat rules and add-ons ahead of time: If traveling with kids, confirm the right seat type and reserve it early. Also consider an extra driver add-on if you’re doing longer day trips like Walla Walla.

Spokane Car Rental Guide

Essential tips for renting and driving in Spokane, Washington

Can I use my foreign driver's license in Spokane, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

If you're visiting from another country, you'll need both your foreign license AND an International Driving Permit (IDP). The IDP acts as a translation and is required by Washington state law for all non-US residents. Book your IDP before arriving—it's issued by your home country's automobile association. US residents can use their home state license directly.

I'm 22—will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much is it?

Yes, drivers under 25 will face a "young driver surcharge" of approximately $20-35 per day at most rental companies in Spokane. This is nearly universal across all major agencies. Some companies allow drivers as young as 21 but charge even higher fees ($35-50/day) for the 21-24 age group. Compare prices carefully—Budget and Enterprise sometimes offer lower young driver fees than Hertz or Avis.

Will I need snow chains this winter? What's the driving actually like?

Spokane winters (November through March) bring regular snow and ice. Washington state law (RMW 204-248) requires traction devices (chains, snow tires, or approved alternatives) on mountain passes and can trigger mandatory chain-up zones on I-90 and US-2. Even in the city, morning ice is common. Rent a vehicle with winter tires or plan to purchase chains ($40-80 at any auto shop). AWD/4WD is highly recommended October-April.

How do toll roads work around Spokane? Do I need an electronic toll device?

Spokane itself has minimal toll roads, but if you venture toward Seattle on I-90, you'll encounter the Toll 520 Bridge and potential backups at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge ($7.20 toll). Rentals with a transponder (E-ZPass equivalent called "Good To Go!") are available but add daily fees ($5-8/day). Most travelers find it cheaper to pay tolls online within 5 days than to rent a transponder device for occasional use.

What type of gas does Spokane use, and what's the refueling policy?

Spokane area vehicles run on regular unleaded (87 octane), which is significantly cheaper than premium—most rentals don't require premium fuel. Major gas chains (Chevron, Shell, Costco) are plentiful, but stations thin out quickly east of Spokane toward Idaho or north toward Canada. Nearly all rental companies offer "full-to-full" policies—pick up with a full tank, return full, or pay 2-3x pump price for missing fuel.

Is parking in Spokane expensive, and where should I avoid leaving my car?

Spokane has very affordable parking compared to major US cities. Downtown meters run $1-2/hour, with free street parking in most residential areas. The biggest risk isn't cost—it's winter parking bans. Between November-March, the city enacts "snow emergency" parking bans that tow vehicles left on major streets. Check the city app or 311 before parking overnight in winter. Meters are rarely enforced Sundays or holidays.
