Car Rental in Sandy, Utah — Canyon-Ready and Delivered

Sandy is the gateway to Alta and Snowbird, and Driver Valley rents there with delivery to your door for a flat $120 round trip — or free pickup at our lot by the airport, about 25 minutes north. The fleet is heavy on AWD SUVs that satisfy Utah's canyon traction law, from $41/day with no credit card required.

The right car for the canyon

When snow is falling in Little Cottonwood Canyon, UDOT's traction law (SR-210) requires AWD or 4WD with M+S or 3PMSF-rated tires, or chains on two-wheel-drive — and the canyon does close to cars that don't comply. Most of our 38-car fleet is AWD or 4WD SUVs: Mazda CX-5s and CX-30s, Toyota RAV4s, a Subaru Crosstrek and Ascent, and a Toyota 4Runner. Book the AWD, skip the chain-up turnout, and drive straight to the resort lots.

Delivery in Sandy, pickup by the airport

Staying in Sandy for a ski week, a tournament at the sports complexes, or a month of work? Delivery brings the car to your Sandy address — home, hotel, or condo — for $120 round trip including end-of-rental collection. Flying in instead? Pickup is free at Park N' Jet by SLC airport with a free terminal shuttle, and the drive down I-15 puts you in Sandy in about 25 minutes.

Weekly and monthly, the Sandy way

Ski-season workers, travel staff, and families between cars use the weekly ($350) and monthly ($1,400) rates — one booking, extend as needed, maintenance included on monthly terms. Every rental carries 150 miles per day, which covers canyon runs and valley errands with room to spare.

Renting for longer? See the weekly rental guide (from $350/week) and the monthly rental guide (from $1,400/month — and rentals over 30 days skip Utah's 9.5% motor vehicle rental tax).

Questions, answered

Do I need AWD to drive to Alta and Snowbird?

In winter weather, yes — Utah's traction law on SR-210 requires AWD/4WD with rated tires or chains on a 2WD car. Most of our fleet is AWD SUVs, so book one of those and you're covered.

How much is delivery to Sandy?

A flat $120 round trip — delivery to your Sandy address and collection when the rental ends. Airport lot pickup is free.

Can I rent in Sandy without a credit card?

Yes. Debit, Cash App, Venmo, Chime, and PayPal are all accepted. The $50 refundable deposit needs a card on file (debit works) and is waived with CDW.

How far is the pickup lot from Sandy?

About 25 minutes north via I-15 — Park N' Jet - Mountain Lot, 2200 W North Temple, Salt Lake City, with a free shuttle to the airport terminal.

Do you offer monthly rentals in Sandy?

Yes, from $1,400/month, extendable, with maintenance included — and rentals over 30 days skip Utah's 9.5% motor vehicle rental tax.
