Local Tips
- Pre-book a rental car if you plan to explore Idaho's outdoors.
- ValleyRide Route 25 has limited weekday service from BOI to downtown — a rideshare is faster and runs 24/7 but costs more.
- Surge spikes during Boise State home football games (autumn Saturdays) and Treefort Music Fest (March).
- BOI rideshare pickup is in the designated ground-level zone outside the terminal — Uber and Lyft both operate.
- Pre-load both Uber and Lyft at BOI and compare — wait times and fares can differ 30%+ during peak demand.
