A short guide to Boise Airport
The Boise Airport is the busiest one in the state, annually serving more passengers than all of Idaho’s other airports combined. Relax in one of the cafes with free WiFi before picking up your hired car. Collect your keys from the customer kiosks on the first floor.
Driving your car hire in Boise
The majority of Boise’s working population spend their days in the CBD, so there is commuter traffic at the usual peak times between 8am - 9am and 5pm - 6pm. It’s rarely an issue, but plan accordingly around those times.
The Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency provides a bus service to and from the airport, a great option if you’ve organised to pick up your rental car from the city.
Driving to and from Boise Airport
The drive to the city from the airport takes just ten minutes. Head 3 miles north toward the city on S Vista Ave, continue onto W River St and follow the signs towards the CBD.
Should you need to catch a ride into town to pick up your rental car, the airport has specifically coloured curbs to help you find your way to taxis, shuttles and buses.
