Can I Take a Rental Car to Another State From Utah?
Yes — a Driver Valley rental can leave Utah. Drive it to Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, or California and bring it back like any rental, or end the trip there with our one-way rental: one flat $500 one-way fee, no per-mile drop charges. Here is how both versions work.
Round trips out of state: just drive
A normal rental that crosses state lines costs nothing extra. The one number to plan around is mileage: every rental includes 150 miles per day, pooled across the trip. Some reference points from our Salt Lake City lot:
- Las Vegas, NV — about 420 miles each way; a 6-day rental includes 900 miles.
- Jackson, WY — about 275 miles each way.
- Boise, ID — about 340 miles each way.
- Denver, CO — about 525 miles each way; plan a week or ask about mileage first.
- Moab and the Mighty 5 — in-state, but the same pooled miles make the loop easy.
One-way: leave the car there for a flat $500
Moving, relocating, or flying home from somewhere else? Our one-way rental lets you drop the car in Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, or California for one flat $500 fee — the chains price one-way drops per route and routinely charge more. Route guides: Salt Lake City to Las Vegas and Salt Lake City to Denver. For states outside those five, the car comes back to our Salt Lake City lot.
The rental itself stays simple
Out-of-state trips run on the same terms as every Driver Valley rental: no credit check, debit cards and payment apps accepted, rent from 18 with no young-driver fee, and one flat $50 refundable deposit. Cars from $42/day, $350/week, $1,400/month. Pickup is at Park N' Jet - Mountain Lot, 2200 W North Temple, Salt Lake City — five minutes from SLC airport with a free shuttle.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take a rental car to Nevada?
Yes. Driver Valley rentals can be driven to Nevada — Las Vegas is about 420 miles from our Salt Lake City lot. Every rental includes 150 miles per day pooled across the trip, so a three-day weekend includes 450 miles. If you want to leave the car in Nevada instead of driving it back, that is our one-way rental: a flat $500 one-way fee with drop-off in Nevada.
Can I drive a rental car to another state from Utah?
Yes — you can drive a Driver Valley car out of state and bring it back to our lot like any other rental. If you need to end the trip in another state, one-way drop-off is available in Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and California for a flat $500 one-way fee. For any other state, the car needs to come back to Salt Lake City.
Which states can I drop a one-way rental off in?
Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and California — for one flat $500 one-way fee, with no per-mile drop charges. Our route guides cover Salt Lake City to Las Vegas and Salt Lake City to Denver in detail.
Does driving out of state cost extra?
No — a round-trip rental that leaves Utah costs the same as one that stays. Your included miles are 150 per day pooled across the whole trip, which covers most regional drives; a Salt Lake City to Las Vegas round trip is about 840 miles, so plan four or more days or ask us about mileage before a long haul.
Can I take a rental car to Yellowstone or Jackson Hole?
Yes — Jackson, Wyoming is a standard trip from Salt Lake City, about 275 miles each way, and Wyoming is one of our one-way drop-off states if you want to end the trip there for the flat $500 fee.
Do I need to tell you if I am leaving Utah?
For a normal round trip, no special permission is needed — just book and drive. For a one-way drop-off, choose it when you book so the $500 fee and the drop state are on your contract.
