Keep these driving tips in mind when you pick up your Spokane Airport car rental:
- It’s only a quick 15-minute drive to the city center from Spokane Intl Airport (GEG). For the fastest route, merge onto US-2 E and stay on the left to follow signs and merge onto I-90 E/US-2 E. Exit at ramp 280, then turn left on Lincoln Street to arrive in downtown Spokane.
- The I-90 is the major interstate highway connecting Spokane to the rest of the country, cutting east to west through the center. US 195 and US 2 run north to south, but not straight through the centre.
- Parking is plentiful in the downtown area, with a mix of paid and unpaid parking and multiple payment methods available. Metered on-street parking costs roughly US$1.20 per hour, while a spot in a garage costs about US$10 for the day.
- Spokane gets more snow than the national average. Expect icy conditions between the winter months of November through March.
- Be alert for deer, elk, and other animals on country roads—especially when driving at dusk and dawn during your Spokane car rental road trip.
