    We flew into Jackson Hole Airport, the most scenic airport in the country, and rented a car from the Thrifty car rental located there. They have a few other car rental agencies, Herzt was another one I remember. Thrifty had the best price. Originally we had wanted to rent a Jeep, none of the car rental agencies rented them out...bizarre. Anyway, we got ourselves a little Nissan Sentra, glamorous, no, not at all, but it did the job.
    The whole process of picking up and dropping off went super smooth, couldn't ask for an easier transaction!

    Two shuttle boats leave every 10 or 15 minutes to cross Jenny Lake, from near the visitor center and ranger station. It's only $5 per person if you're going one-way and walking back. Before you disembark on the other side, the driver encourages you to leave no evidence of your visit to the park, to keep it clean and safe for the animals who live there and for future generations of visitors. The trip is only about 10 minutes.

    The closest airport is north of Jackson in the southern part of the park. The views of the Jackson Hole area are incredible during takeoff and landing.

    Major airlines that service Jackson Hole airport include: American, Delta, United, Continental and Northwest. More direct flights are available during the summer season. We had to swtich in Salt Lake from L.A. but a week later we could've flown direct.

  • There is not much choice when it comes to traveling around GTNP. You can either bicycle on narrow road sholders or via car.

    Driving a Red PT Cryssler

    I have booked my car via the company Holiday autos.

    This makes it much easier, as it is in your own language, if you have problem you can call their office.

    First I was searching the internet to rent a car, but there are so many different companies, like Alamo, Hertz, Avis, Budget, ...

    And they all heave different ways in giving their prices (with or without a number of assurances), that makes it really hard to compare; also there are the hidden extras.

    And then after a long tiring flight you stand there for the rent a car desk, and then they propose all kind of extras and assurances, and then it is sometimes very confusing to know what you really need.

    So the advantage of booking via Holiday autos was that everything was included, so no more extras, of course at the desk they always try to sell one or more extra insurances, but a simple no does it

    After the booking you receive a voucher, and upon arrival you present this voucher at the rent a car desk, a few signatures, and you can explore the American Highways.

    The rent a car firm was Alamo.
    And for the 21 days I paid 681 euro, which is 32.4 euro a day.

    My car was a red PT Cruiser – Cryssler.
