What are the requirements to rent an RV in Montana?

Most owners ask that renters be at least 25 years old with a valid U.S. driver’s license. Some will rent to drivers 21+ with a clean record and added insurance, but it depends on the listing.

Do I need a special driver’s license to rent an RV in Montana?

Not usually. A standard Montana Class D license works for most RVs under 26,000 lbs, which covers nearly all vehicles available through Outdoorsy.

How much does it cost to rent an RV in Montana?

Rates typically run between $120 and $275 per night, depending on the RV type, time of year, and location. Summer is prime season, especially near popular park areas, so early booking is a smart move.

Are there mileage and generator usage limits when renting an RV?

Most rentals include a daily mileage range (often 100–150 miles) and limited generator hours. If you plan to do a lot of driving—or boondocking—check your listing to see what’s included.

Can I take my rented RV into Glacier or Yellowstone National Park?

Absolutely. Just make sure to check campground size limits and book early—sites near park entrances fill up fast during peak season. Also note: some parts of Going-to-the-Sun Road have length restrictions for larger rigs.

Discover Montana RV rentals for memorable road trips

Montana sits in the northwest corner of the U.S., with the western half straddling the mighty Rocky Mountains and the eastern half containing vast expanses of prairie land punctuated by picturesque canyons. Montana is an outdoor lover’s paradise, with striking mountain ranges to hike, untamed rivers to float and fish, and snow-blanketed peaks to ski and snowboard. The state has long been associated with cowboys and frontiersmen, but perhaps its most famous depiction is in the flyfishing-focused film (and novel) A River Runs Through It.

Montana’s Outdoors

With so many amazing outdoor attractions in the state, it can be hard to choose which ones to visit when you get an RV rental in Montana. A great place to start is Yellowstone National Park, just a 90-minute drive south of Bozeman. Yellowstone is known for its spectacular geological features, including Old Faithful, a geyser that erupts almost once per hour. There’s also Mammoth Hot Springs, a massive and multi-colored terrace formed by mineral-rich water bubbling from beneath the Earth’s surface. The park is rounded out by Yellowstone Lake, America’s largest lake above 7,000 feet of elevation. The park has an abundance of wildlife, including bison, elk, moose, and wolves. Hiking is the most popular way to explore the park, but kayaking is permitted on Yellowstone Lake. RV camping can be found at the Madison, Grant, Canyon, Bay Bridge, and Fishing Bridge campgrounds inside the park and at several private campgrounds just outside it.While not quite as popular as Yellowstone, many state residents and national park aficionados will tell you Glacier National Park is the place to go with a Montana camper rental. Glacier is a hiker’s park, with the best scenery located far away from roads and trailheads. However, for those less inclined to hit the trail, Lake McDonald and St. Mary Lake are stunning enough and open to kayaks and canoes. Glacier is also rich in wildlife, with bighorn sheep and mountain goats as the star attractions. Dozens of RV campgrounds dot Highway 2 between West Glacier and Whitefish, so finding camping options for Montana RV rentals should be easy.Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area might be one of the most underrated outdoor attractions in the state. This is most likely due to its remote location near the state’s southern border. Much of the 70-mile-long canyon looks like a miniature version of the Grand Canyon, with striking sandstone cliffs dropping over a thousand feet. Boating, motorized and non-motorized, is popular for exploring the many coves and inlets within the canyon. RV campsites can be found in the Afterbay Campground and farther upriver.For something a little closer to urban amenities, try Whitefish Lake State Park in the northern part of the state. It’s just a mile from downtown Whitefish and is excellent for kayaking or swimming. Some hiking trails ring the lake, and an excellent mountain biking path is nearby. There’s an RV park on Whitefish Lake that’s suitable for smaller vehicles, and larger parks can be found along Highway 93 and 2.

Exploring Montana’s Cities

Montana has no large cities, with its most populous, Billings, just cracking the 100,000 mark. Most have fewer than 50,000 residents, but since they’re located so far apart, you should find all the amenities and attractions you need. For many visitors, Missoula is the first introduction to Montana. Its location on Interstate 90, just a few hours’ drive east of Spokane, makes it quite accessible as far as Montana towns go. It stands apart from the rest of the state due to its more liberal culture, organic food stores, international restaurants, and a diverse population. If you’re not ready to dive straight into Montana’s cowboy lifestyle, Missoula is a soft landing. The beautiful walking paths around the University of Montana and the Clark Fork River are great for a stroll or biking if you’ve got a set of wheels. February’s Big Sky Film Festival always draws visitors from out of state and even out of the country.Bozeman is another place to visit with a Montana camper rental. Home of Montana State University, Bozeman has a thriving restaurant scene along with tons of great events throughout the year. The Sweet Pea Festival in August and Hatch Film Festival in October are two of the state’s most popular. The Museum of the Rockies has some fantastic dinosaur exhibits (some of the most complete fossils have been found in Montana), along with a planetarium and rotating cultural displays.If you’re looking for a small-town atmosphere with spectacular scenery, Whitefish is the place to be. It’s been rated one of America’s best ski towns, being only a short drive from Whitefish Mountain ski resort. In the summer, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, one of the largest wilderness areas in the Lower 48, and Glacier National Park beckon backpackers to explore their forests. Whitefish RV Park is a little south of town, just off the Whitefish River, and has a dump station, laundry facilities, and is within walking distance of great shopping.Another great place to camp in Montana is Billings. As the largest city in the state, Billings has more shopping and chain stores than any other Montana town. The city’s MetraPark arena is where some of America’s biggest entertainers play when traveling through Montana. Campgrounds and RV parks near Billings are plentiful, too. Billings KOA sits on the banks of the Yellowstone River, just south of the downtown area. It has a pool, hot tub, camp kitchens, mini-golf, and some of the largest sites for your rental RV.
