Stowe Mountain Resort on Mount Mansfield
Stowe Mountain Resort climbs Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak at 4,393 feet and one of the country's oldest ski areas. Winter brings world-class skiing, while summer opens up gondola rides and alpine hiking. A car makes early lift lines easy when you're loading skis, boots, and gear, with parking close to the base.
Smugglers' Notch scenic pass
Just north of the resort, Route 108 threads through Smugglers' Notch, a narrow pass of hairpin turns and towering boulders below Mount Mansfield. The drive is short but unforgettable, with pull-offs for photos and trailheads along the way. Plan ahead in colder months: the Notch road closes from roughly mid-October to mid-May, so check conditions first.
Ben and Jerry's factory in Waterbury
About 15 minutes south in Waterbury, the Ben and Jerry's factory runs guided tours that end with fresh samples and the quirky Flavor Graveyard. It's an easy, family-friendly stop on the way to or from the interstate. With a rental car, you go when the light's good and skip the tour-bus crowds.

Burlington International Airport (BTV)
Most Stowe trips start at Burlington International Airport, about 37 miles and a 40-minute drive west on Interstate 89. Many hosts offer delivery to the terminal or nearby airport parking, so you can land and go. Book car rental in Burlington and skip the counter lines entirely.
Downtown Stowe village
Staying in the village? Plenty of hosts can meet you near Main Street or deliver to your hotel or rental home. That puts the Recreation Path, local shops, and the Mountain Road all within a few minutes' drive.
Waterbury and Waterbury Center

Top tips for renting a car in Stowe
Stowe's mountain roads reward a little planning. These quick tips keep your drive smooth from your first mile to your last.
Road rules and driving conditions
Vermont roads are well maintained, but mountain weather changes fast. From November through April, pick a car with winter tires and all-wheel drive for confident traction on snow and ice.
Watch for deer at dawn and dusk, and give yourself extra time on the curves. Slower is smarter on unfamiliar mountain grades.
Parking
Parking is easy by big-city standards. Stowe Mountain Resort keeps lots near the base, though they fill early on peak ski weekends, so arrive before mid-morning. In the village, you'll find street and lot parking within walking distance of Main Street shops.
Toll roads
Good news: Vermont has no highway tolls, so you can drive to Stowe without worrying about toll booths or transponders. The one exception is the seasonal Auto Toll Road up Mount Mansfield, which charges a fee for the scenic drive toward the summit ridge. It's open in the warmer months only.
Gas stations and EV chargers
Fill up in Waterbury or Burlington before heading into the hills, since stations thin out along Route 100. Stowe and the surrounding towns have public EV charging, and many hosts list cars with charging access. If you rent an EV, map your stops for longer day trips.
Do I need to rent a car in Stowe?
Yes, for most visitors a car is the easiest way to enjoy Stowe. Public transit is limited, and the best trailheads, ski lots, and scenic drives sit spread across the valley. A seasonal shuttle runs along the Mountain Road, but a rental car lets you explore on your own schedule.

Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
