No matter the season, hiring a vehicle to go around Utah can be very beneficial. Both Arches National Park and Zion National Park are worthwhile destinations but are mostly accessible by car, not to mention the numerous stopping spots along the way. If you want to easily visit Park City in the mountains, you’ll need a car. The majority of Utah’s roads are known to be mountainous, with many ski resorts in the state and snowy winters. If you're planning to be in Utah during these months, you might want to think about hiring an all-wheel-drive vehicle. This will make it simpler and safer for you to navigate the mountainous routes when it's below freezing. In warmer seasons, an SUV hire vehicle with all-wheel drive is a fantastic choice for viewing Utah's various terrains.

When hiring a car in Utah, you should be aware of any local driving regulations and legislation that may be different from your own country’s. Every child under the age of eight must use a designated child seat. At red signals, make right-hand turns as long as you stop completely first and check for approaching vehicles. If there are malfunctioning traffic lights, proceed with caution and treat the intersection as a four-way stop. When it comes to drunk driving, Utah is pretty stringent. It’s illegal to drive your hired car with a blood alcohol content above 0.08%. Before obtaining your hire vehicle, inquire with the department of motor vehicles whether there are any additional laws you need to be aware of.

The legal minimum age to drive in Utah is 16 years, and every driver must possess a current driver's licence. The law also applies to visitors who’d like to hire a vehicle in Utah.
