Like any city, demand dictates rental rates, and the more popular visiting times during the year are early summer, the LDS Church's General Conference (twice a year in spring and fall), and of course, the winter ski season. Rugged Rental, as its name suggests, specializes in oversize and durable rentals. This booking service offers real-time guarantees for pricing and availability for all the major rental chains in Salt Lake. Salt Lake's car rental agencies offer every kind of car available, from 4-wheel drive SUVs to compact city cars. Renting a car may be a more cost-effective option, and it's definitely the best option for exploring the canyons and doing outdoor activities. Traffic, however, is only an issue at rush hour. Furthermore, Utah is known for its constant construction-chances are you'll take at least one detour on any trip. Fares have recently gone up and Salt Lake is not compact-a trip from one side of town to the other can take up to 30 minutes.

Several hotels downtown have cab stands (like the Hilton) and downtown destinations like the Capitol Theatre and the Delta Center become hubs for taxis on event nights. Taxis here are scarcer than in other cities, so your best bet is to call ahead you'll be waiting longer than you'd like if you try to hail them from the curb. The three main taxi companies-City Cab (80), Ute Cab (80), and Yellow Cab (80)-offer 24-hour service throughout the valley. If public transportation's not your thing, Salt Lake has plenty of taxi and rental car services available.
