Your quick travel guide to Logan

Car Rental in Logan, Utah

Located in northern Utah, Logan is a great city to use as your base for mountain sports activities, including hiking, skiing, kayaking, fishing, and mountain biking. Unlike a lot of other popular cities for outdoor athletes, Logan is still relatively unknown, meaning that you’ll have a lot of space for yourself in the city’s natural surroundings. While the city of Logan itself is easy to navigate by foot, public transportation, or bicycle, you’ll certainly want to rent a car in order to independently and comfortably explore the surrounding area. Here is a brief guide to finding the cheapest car rental in Logan.

Tips for Finding Cheap Car Rental in Logan

Downtown Logan is a great location to pick up your rental car if you are staying in the area for over a week. While there isn’t a big variety of rental car companies in Logan, Hertz offers great prices for rental cars, when you rent a car for at least 10 days at a time. As a world-renowned and reliable company, Hertz offers good deals on rental cars for adventurers who want to thoroughly explore the Logan area.

If you are only planning on renting a car in Logan for a short period of time, consider booking your rental car from the major city by which you arrive to Utah. For instance, you can get great deals on short-term rental cars at the Salt Lake City Airport. Particularly since Logan is so remote, you’ll find that renting a car directly upon your arrival in Utah makes it much easier to get to the city of Logan itself. The daily rate for short-term rental cars typically starts at $45 a day at the Salt Lake City Airport.

Key Things to Remember: Driving Your Logan Rental Car

Driving through Logan and the Logan Canyon is a real treat, especially when the leaves on the trees start changing colors in September and October. Here are some tips and tricks to help you navigate the area in your Logan rental car.

Driving your rental car on mountain roads:

  1. Weather changes quickly in mountainous areas, so be sure to plan your trip before you leave, including alternative places to stop in case the weather becomes too dangerous to make it to your intended destination.
  2. Shift down in gears in your rental car, whether automatic or standard transmission, to brake on steep descents. This helps prolong the life of your brakes and prevent brake failure.

Parking your rental car in Logan:

  • Most street parking has a two-hour time limit throughout the busiest sections of Logan, particularly downtown and near the university. However, there are also a number of parking lots that allow for unrestricted parking throughout downtown, particularly on the block between 100 N and 200 N Streets. You can access this parking lot by driving between these two intersections along 100 W Street.

Toll roads in Utah

  • The only tolled road in Utah is the short Adams Avenue Parkway, located an hour south of Logan just south of Ogden. The toll is $1 each direction and is payable in cash, but there is no reason for you to take this road, even if you plan on driving to and from Salt Lake City.
