Complete Guide to The Smith River

Lucky Enough to Draw the Smith River Permit?

We KNOW 4WD car rentals.

Don’t believe us? Take a look at our fleet. We challenge you to find a more well-rounded, curated 4WD rental fleet anywhere in the Greater Yellowstone Valley, heck, in the United States for that matter.

At Hatch Adventures, we guarantee 4WD rental vehicles equipped with all-season, all-terrain, severe snow rated tires branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. If you rent from us, we guarantee you’ll get the most capable 4WD overlanding rental vehicle in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. We aren’t messing around… so you can.

Are you tired of “contactless” everything? Yeah, we are too. It is our mission to provide you with the most capable, fun 4WD rental along with a premium rental experience.

● No waiting in lines, EVER.
● No receiving a different rental than what you reserved.
● No broken promises of a 4WD rental and receiving a 2WD rental.
● No receiving a 4WD rental equipped with ill-fated summer tires in the middle of a blizzard.
● No being told you don’t have a 4WD rental because they ran out of cars even though you booked months ago.

Unfortunately, all of these things happen all the time with the big rental car agencies. At Hatch Adventures, we believe you deserve better. We have all the fun and none of the dumb. We also happen to have an extensive background in the 4WD industry and it is our mission to supply you with the best, purpose-built, overlanding 4WD vehicles, fishing rafts, fishing equipment, and camp gear designed to fuel the spirit of those who are in pursuit of adventure.

Great experience and Ben and his team are so easy to work with. I would definitely strongly recommend Hatch for anyone looking to rent a 4WD in the Bozeman area.

Beyond happy we found this place!!!Love that we supported a local company over renting from Enterprise. Lots of driving to do in Montana and having the right car to do it in makes the road trip that much better. Ben and his staff were super nice upon arrival, car was super clean with no problems, and airport pickup/drop was a breeze.Definitely renting from Hatch Adventures again!!!

This place is fantastic. The vehicles are all like new, clean and in great condition. Mine was stocked just as requested with items that actually worked. Benjamin provided great information on the areas we were traveling, making sure we hit all the best spots. See Benjamin and Hatch Adventures for the trip of a lifetime.

Had a blast in a 2021 Ford Bronco rented from Hatch. The car came in pristine condition, and with all the camping gear I needed for an amazing adventure through Montana and Wyoming. Ben was super communicative and the whole experience was extremely easy and streamlined. I'll definitely be renting through Hatch next time I'm in Montana.

Top notch service and vehicle. We were in the Mojave for 9 days and it was such a nice easy way to stay on the move. Set up and take down takes less that 2 minutes each night.Have great service from company and everything was in the truck that we needed.Stove, plates, silverware, chairs, etc!Very pleased that we chose to go with Hatch!

We used Hatch Adventures for a week long family road trip. Ben was amazing the entire process. The truck was spotless inside and out. The camper smelled clean. The gear selection was dialed. Everything was so clean and well organized it made the whole trip so much better after a stressful and delayed flight. Ben was extremely accommodating to our shifting arrival date. Ben has a wealth of knowledge on surrounding roads and his vehicles. It was a pleasure to use his service!

This was hands down a great experience. Worth every penny. Great customer service - easy airport pick up and drop off.Exploring Montana means time in the car - no way around it. Having done this a few too many times with a midsized rental from a regular rental company I realized it was time to do it right. Having a capable vehicle that is camping equipped was a game changer. I was traveling with two young kids and we were all comfortable and had great views from the car. Camping was easy, adding and shedding layers and changing shoes for all the varied weather and activities was easy. Keeping track of the gear was easy. And having the ability to sit by the river and have a meal any time we wanted was priceless. To quote my 12 year old daughter “10/10 would recommend”

Hatch Adventures set the tone for our entire trip! The process from payment to camping and beyond was so seamless and convenient. We picked up a 2022 Toyota Tacoma outfitted with a Go Fast Camper. The truck was clean and the bed being covered by the GFC made a perfect space for all of our gear, as it rained on our way out and back. We spent the weekend in Yellowstone where we camped surrounded by howling wolves and a roaring fire. The camper was sturdy, comfortable and warm through the night. Setting up and packing up were both SO simple and convenient so we didn't miss a beat on our trip. The truck and camper were AMAZING and provided us with our best Yellowstone visit yet, by a long shot.Ben's entire operation is pretty incredible and was so convenient. The real treat though, was Ben himself! He was professional, knowledgeable, personable and so kind. He really made the process a dream and we can not wait for our next Hatch Adventure!

Ben was awesome to deal with. The Jeep was in perfect shape. Made hopping in and camping SO easy. Plus that jeep was loaded with all of the bells and whistles. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for an adventure rig to consider Hatch Adventures.

Booking a Jeep through Hatch will be a highlight of your journey. We booked a Jeep Gladiator Mojave 2022 and it is super clean, new and beautiful, gaining a lot of praises from others during the trip. We spent 5 days in Yellowstone and Grand Teton with the car and this is the best vacation we have ever had since Covid!Also, the car comes with a roof tent which let us enjoy camping inside Yellowstone. Ben, the owner, kindly provided some outdoor gears(super clean!) and I can tell he is trying his best to help all travelers have fun at the parks.Highly recommend for anyone who loves exploring the nature! Will definitely come back next time 🙂

Like many people, we were bummed Covid prevented us from international travel this summer, so we decided instead to explore Yellowstone and rent through Hatch. Hands down, one of the best vacations ever! Flying in from out of town, it was so nice the only thing we needed to bring was sleeping bags (Although they will rent them to you as well!) The booking process with Alisa was easy and flexible. Picking up the Jeep, John, helped us map out our whole adventure-we went in with nothing planned! They had everything supplied, down to the toilet paper and playing cards! All their supplies were clean and in great working order. The Jeep was so fun to drive all over the park, and the tent took two easy seconds to setup. Everyone thought we were real professional campers which is far from the truth. I'd recommend Hatch to anyone and we are looking forward to using their services again!

Hatch Adventures saved my vacation!My truck broke down while my wife and I were on a property hunting & ski vacation. Stephan and Alisa, Jake, and John and were unbelievably accommodating and the Jeep Rubicon was outfitted with ski racks and studded snow tires - exactly what we needed to enjoy the storm on the slopes and get to the properties we wanted to see afterward.

Awesome experience. My wife and I rented the Tacoma set up from Hatch for a few days in June 2019. Owners John and Stephan were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable.This was our first time to Yellowstone and the Tetons and can’t imagine doing it any other way.Having the accessibility of camping and transportation in one package enabled us to be sporadic and adventurous. We drove through the national parks to see the sites and camped in the national forests surrounding the parks. We saw a ton of wildlife because we were not tied down to specific hotels and times. This also allowed us to stay clear of the crowds when it was time to eat. Pulled over where we wanted, got out the camp stove, cooked some grub and then were on our way again. We will definitely be going back in the future.

BZN Airport Rental Cars

Unlike other BZN airport rental car companies, our airport service is not contact-free. We aren’t going to throw you into the wind because we believe in providing you with a premium experience. To do so, we will meet you at your Jeep, Bronco, or Toyota 4WD rental to walk you through the vehicle and answer any questions you may have. As always, no lines, no waiting, and a premium experience is our guarantee. There is a 10% Concession Fee that is required by the Bozeman Airport

Here is how it works:

– Make Your Reservation
Start by making your 4WD rental car reservation. You can do this by emailing us at [email protected] or by using our online booking software on our website. If you book online, be sure to choose Bozeman Airport as your pickup location. All of your trip documentation will be completed while making your reservation. We will need you to send us a copy of your valid’s driver license and a copy of your motor vehicle insurance card.
– Arrival to BZN Airport
Usually 24 hours prior to your arrival, we will ask for your flight information. We will track your flight and arrive at Bozeman International Airport as you land. We will send you detailed instructions on where we are parked and how to get there. Once you meet us, we will walk you through how to operate your 4WD rental car. No dumb questions, we are there to help and we want to ensure your trip is spent looking at all the amazing things Montana has to offer, not trying to figure out how to use your 4WD rental. If you are arriving after hours, we will send you detailed instructions and photos. The key to your vehicle will be in a window-mounted lockbox on your specific 4WD rental vehicle. The code will be provided with your instructions. If you are renting a camping package that includes the use of a tent, we will pick you up from the airport and bring you back to the shop to walk you through how to use the tent and camping gear. In person instruction on tent use is mandatory to ensure
you have the best experience while camping.

– Vehicle Return
The return process is as easy as the pickup. Drop off your vehicle in the same parking lot as we met. We’ll do our best to meet you there to go over your 4WD rental and see how your trip went. If for some reason we can’t meet you at Bozeman International Airport, you can return the 4WD rental car to the same parking lot as we met, take pictures of the condition and
location of the rental, and use the supplied lockbox to secure the keys. We will pick up the vehicle from there.
