Driving tips for Utah
When you decide to rent a car in Utah, you give yourself access to all of its one-of-a-kind attractions. Just remember these tips to help your trip go smoothly:
- Watch for wildlife: Around 80% of the people in Utah live in Salt Lake City, meaning the rest of the state is largely rural. When driving outside the city, always watch for deer crossing the road.
- Scenic drives: Utah is home to many scenic drives through several national parks, but these drives are often littered with hazards like wildlife and falling rocks.
- Dust storms: Sometimes, especially during summer, short-lived dust storms can commence depending on which part of Utah you’re in. If this happens, pull over and wait for visibility to return before continuing to drive.
- Off-road driving: Some of Utah’s natural landscapes will require you to drive through sand or mud. Remember to reduce tire pressure if driving through sand, and never drive diagonally down a slope.
These as well as our other tips for driving in Utah will make your trip a breeze.
Best places to visit in Utah
A car hire in Utah will allow you to explore the state to the fullest on your own terms. When you're in Utah, be sure to visit these places:
- Salt Lake City’s Temple Square: This historic square is home to the Salt Lake Temple, run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s a great place to learn about the history of the area. There are multiple parking garages on Temple Street.
- Great Salt Lake: No visit to Utah is complete without visiting the Great Salt Lake. Antelope Island is a great place to visit the lake and take a swim. It’s about 90 minutes from Salt Lake City by car.
- Zion National Park: This national park is home to colorful sandstone cliffs and canyons and offers plenty of hiking trails, scenic drives, and waterfalls.
Utah certainly has some of the best natural phenomena in the US, so it’s worth exploring via a car rental in Utah with SIXT.

Good to know when renting in Utah, UT
Yes. SIXT places a temporary hold on your credit card at pickup for the amount of the deposit. For payments with debit cards, please refer to our rental information for more details about deposits. The amount depends on the location and vehicle. Please check for more details on payment information in this article.
In the U.S., generally a minimum of $200 will be charged to the payment method for security purposes. The deposit for high-value vehicles may be higher. Non-airport locations in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Illinois have higher minimum authorization amounts. Additional details on the deposit can be found in this article.
Reservations are by vehicle category (“or similar”), not by an exact model. When a "guaranteed model" option is shown for your dates and location, selecting it reserves that specific model. Otherwise, you’ll receive a comparable car in the same group with similar size and performance subject to availability.
The exact mileage policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process, so you’ll know what’s included before pickup.
Vehicles rented at most SIXT locations in the contiguous United States may be driven throughout the contiguous states. Travel into Canada must be in accordance with our geographical restrictions, which can be found in our rental information. Travel to Mexico is not allowed. If you drive outside authorized areas, a fee of $0.50 per mile will apply.
All renters and authorized drivers must present a valid, unexpired, original driver’s license at the time of rental. Renters with a non-U.S. driver's license may also need to provide a valid passport or other government-issued ID. Licenses in non-Roman alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must be accompanied by an international driver’s license. If the license is from a country not in the international driver’s license treaty, an official translation is required. See our rental information for full driver’s license and age requirements.
