Rent a car and explore Boise, ID

Things to do and places to see in Boise, ID

Boise brings together lively neighborhoods, riverfront trails, and easy access to the outdoors. With a rental car, you can move easily between museums, neighborhoods, and hiking trails without relying on shuttle services or rigid schedules. Start with the Idaho State Capitol Building, the Boise River Greenbelt, and the city’s surrounding foothills.

Boise, Idaho

Idaho State Capitol Building

The Idaho State Capitol Building sits right in the heart of downtown Boise and is well worth a stop, even if politics isn’t usually your thing. The architecture is impressive, the grounds are peaceful, and the location makes it easy to pair with lunch or coffee nearby. With a rental car, popping in between other downtown stops is effortless. It’s a great way to get a feel for the city’s history and pace.

Boise River Greenbelt

The Boise River Greenbelt is a local favorite — a long, leafy path perfect for walking, cycling, or simply slowing down for an hour. A rental car makes it easy to access different sections of the trail, especially if you want to explore beyond the city center. Park, wander, repeat. Ideal for active travelers and anyone who likes their sightseeing outdoors.

Boise Foothills hiking trails

Just minutes from downtown, the Boise Foothills offer hiking trails with big views and even bigger bragging rights. Having a rental vehicle means you can hit the trail early, avoid crowds, and still be back in town for dinner. SUVs and trucks are especially handy if you’re carrying gear or heading out for a longer hike. This is Boise at its best.

Top tips for renting a car in Boise


Boise driving is refreshingly straightforward, but planning ahead still pays off. Confirm your pickup date and booking details before you arrive, so everything runs smoothly. And remember — distances feel short here, but once you head out of town, those scenic drives can stretch longer than expected.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Boise?


Speed limits are clearly posted and generally well respected, especially in residential and downtown areas. Traffic is light compared to larger cities, though rush hour can slow things down near major intersections. Drivers are courteous, and the overall pace is calm. Winter conditions can affect roads, so check forecasts if you’re visiting during colder months.


What is parking like in Boise?


Parking in Boise is manageable. Downtown offers street parking and parking garages, many within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Outside the city center, lots are plentiful and stress-free. Always check posted signs for time limits.


Are there toll roads in Boise?


Boise has no toll roads, which locals quietly love. You can explore the city and surrounding areas without worrying about toll plazas or surprise charges. It’s driving made simple.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Boise?


Gas stations are easy to find throughout Boise, especially near main roads and highways. EV drivers will also find charging stations around downtown, shopping centers, and hotels. Whether you’re driving a Tesla or a full size SUV with great gas mileage, staying fueled is easy.


Do I need to rent a car in Boise?


If you plan to explore beyond a few downtown blocks, renting a car is highly recommended. Many of Boise’s best experiences sit just outside the city center. A rental car gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

* 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.

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.
