Airport travel guide
Salt Lake City International Airport is the largest airport in the state of Utah and is a major gateway to the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Travelers fly into the airport not just to reach Salt Lake City, but also the ski resorts of northern Utah and the national parks spread across the state.
The state of Utah has five national parks — Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion. All of them are located in the central and southern parts of the state. There are also a plethora of national forests, state parks, and national monuments. Many campers come here to take advantage of free camping on BLM land, which covers 22.8 million acres of the state. Needless to say, Utah has an abundance of stunning natural attractions to visit.

Location

Car rental desks

Services and facilities
You’ll find convenience stores, gift shops, shops selling goods made locally in Utah, and a duty-free outlet. There are many cafeterias, fast food restaurants, bars, and full-service restaurants. You’ll also find ATMs, a bank, a currency exchange, baby changing facilities, children’s play areas, a first aid service, a spa, drinking fountains, power outlets for charging your mobile devices, and art displays throughout the airport.
Nearest gas station
There is a Chevron station located at the airport along the Terminal Drive loop. This is by far the most convenient place to fill up at before returning your rental. However, as is often the case, its prices are noticeably higher than those of other stations in the area. Luckily there are other options one exit from the airport, no matter which direction you approach it from, like Sinclair, Maverik, and Philips 66 stations.

FAQ
Are there toll roads in Utah?
Adams Avenue Parkway is the only toll road in the state. It is a short connection that allows drivers to bypass a busy section of the road. Its toll can be paid in cash.
Are snow chains necessary in winter?
Snow chains are not necessary as long as your car has winter tires. After snowstorms, it may be necessary to have snow chains to pass through certain sections of roads, but they are usually plowed before long. If you don't have chains with you, it's best to avoid travel until then.
Can I take a rental car from Utah to Tahoe?
Most rental companies allow you to drive to California from Utah. Be sure to check to make sure before, booking though.
Do I need a 4wd vehicle to travel to Utah's national parks?
No, a normal car will do just fine. Just plan to stick to paved roads and hike some of the state's amazing trails.
