Rental Car
If you're flying directly into Sun Valley (Friedman Airport), we've planned the weekend so that you don't need a rental car unless you want one. Sun Valley is very compact and nearly everything is walking distance. The Mountain Rides bus system is free and serves Sun Valley, Ketchum and Elkhorn. Additionally, we'll provide shuttles to and from the wedding. However, if you're planning on coming into town early and want to check out some of the incredible hiking and fly fishing nearby, we recommend you rent a car to fully take advantage of the area. You can rent through Hertz, Enterprise and Avis at the Sun Valley Friedman Airport.
