For groups, renting a car and leaving it in Salmon is an economical alternative to using an air shuttle service. Even though the vehicle isn’t being utilized while you are on the river, it is still less expensive than an air charter. Car rental agencies with weekly rates include Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar, Avis, and National. Enterprise offers our guests special rates. Call or email us for details. A typical standard vehicle weekly rental is $200 plus fees. There are no car rental drop-off facilities in Salmon.

If you fly to Boise and want to use an air shuttle service to get to Salmon, we suggest using an Idaho based flying service. We recommend Gem Air or Sawtooth Flying Service. It is a 90-minute spectacular flight over Idaho’s backcountry.

At the end of the trip, we will have you at the Salmon airport around 3:45 pm on the day we get off the river for a flight back to Boise. You need to decide on your round-trip option when you book your flight from Boise to Salmon.

Air services have “seat” and “charter” pricing. Late reservations may be subject to charter rates if other passengers aren’t flying. There are strict bag weight limits of 35 lbs. per person. The Salmon to Boise is $220 one way or $390 round trip.
