What's the Best Way to Handle Fuel for a Rental Car in the USA?
Most car rental companies in the USA, including those at HLN, offer three fuel options: prepay for a full tank, return it full, or let them refuel it for a higher per-gallon price. Returning the car with a full tank is often the most cost-effective choice.

Helena Car Rental & Road Trip Guide

Essential driving tips for exploring Helena and Montana's scenic byways

Can I use my Chinese driver's license to drive in Montana?
Yes, but with conditions. Montana law permits foreign licenses if they're in English or accompanied by an English translation. However, rental companies often require an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a precaution. An IDP costs about $20 and takes 1-2 weeks to obtain in China. Without an IDP, you may face resistance at the rental counter or, worse, insurance complications after an accident.
I'm 22. How much will the young driver surcharge cost me?
Expect to pay $25-35 per day extra. Most Montana rental companies set the minimum age at 21, with drivers under 25 subject to a young driver surcharge. Some companies like Enterprise and Hertz charge around $30/day for drivers aged 21-24. Budget accordingly—this fee can add $175-$245 weekly to your rental cost.
Do I need snow chains in winter? What's the road condition like?
Snow chains are not mandatory statewide but are strongly recommended on mountain passes like Going-to-the-Sun Road and US-2. Montana winters are brutal: temperatures plunge to -20°F (-29°C) and blizzards can close roads for hours. If visiting between November-March, carry chains and a roadside emergency kit. The Department of Transportation posts real-time road conditions at511.mt.gov.
Montana has no toll roads, but how fast can I legally drive?
Montana is one of the last states with no highway tolls—a bonus for road trippers. However, speed limits are strictly enforced: 70-80 mph on interstates, 65 mph on US highways, and 25-45 mph in towns. Photo radar is legal here, and fines double in construction zones. The saying goes: "Montana's roads are free, but the tickets aren't."
What wildlife dangers should I watch out for on Montana roads?
Montana has one of the highest deer-vehicle collision rates in the US—over 3,000 reported annually in Lewis and Clark County alone. Elk herds also frequent highway shoulders, especially at dawn and dusk. If you hit an elk (or moose), the damage can total your vehicle; insurance claims average $15,000+. Drive with headlights on and brake (never swerve) if an animal appears.
How far between gas stations in rural Montana? Do I need a large tank?
In Helena and along I-90, gas stations are plentiful (every 30-50 miles). But venture onto secondary roads like US-12 toward Yellowstone, and you may cruise 80+ miles between stations. Montana uses a "self-serve" workaround: full-service pumps exist, but attendants pump for you at the same price. Most rental SUVs here hold 18-22 gallons; budget $60-80 to fill up.
