Nissan Pathfinder 2025

The Pathfinder was in excellent condition and a great car for our trip. Provided car seats were a huge help. Pickup and drop-off instructions were great too. Price was reasonable. Did have to pay $35 airport parking at pickup because car was dropped off the day before our reservation. However this was disclosed in the terms. Didn’t care for the suggestion that we refill with premium gas (not standard on this vehicle) or that we wash the car if needed (that’s the owners responsibility). Overall it was a very good experience and I would rent again from Chase and his team. They are friendly, professional, and the car was even better than expected.

Pick up location was great and the car was very nice! The car was parked in short term for 4 additional hours (before pick-up) than expected but otherwise, great price and service!

Pickup at the airport was super simple. The car was clean and ran great. Only small complaint was that something in the vehicle rattled and was pretty squeaky most of the time. Overall, it was perfect for our trip around Boise and I would rent again!

I can not recommend renting Shantu's Jeep Wrangler enough! The Jeep is very nice and was spotless on pickup. The team made pickup and drop-off a breeze. They also maintained excellent contact throughout the rental. We even had waters waiting for us when we picked the vehicle up. They made our trip to Boise stress-free!

This car was in BRAND NEW condition, drove like a dream. Was very clean, got excellent t gas mileage, and was completely spacious enough for my family of four that includes two little boys. Being able to add the child seats into this trip made it a whole lot easier and all of the instructions for pick up and drop off were completely smooth and easy. Highly recommend renting this vehicle for a good family car or even just yourself on a trip to Boise Idaho.

Frequently asked questions in Boise Airport

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.

Are there toll roads near Boise Airport?

Idaho does not operate toll roads, so renters can explore the state's highways and scenic routes without worrying about toll fees or electronic payment systems. This makes budgeting for your Boise car rental adventure more predictable, as fuel costs represent the primary driving expense.

What should I know before I start driving?

Idaho requires all vehicle occupants to wear seatbelts, and drivers must have a valid license and proper insurance coverage for their rental car.
