It’s easy to get around the expanses of Yellowstone in a smaller vehicle that offers good fuel economy. If you’re traveling solo, with a significant other or a small group, a compact vehicle may suit you perfectly.

Jeep Wrangler

A Jeep Wrangler makes a world of sense in the rugged Yellowstone wilderness. Prepare for all the journeys ahead with a durable vehicle that will have you covered wherever the road leads — and beyond.

If you’re traveling with a large group or family, it’s hard to beat a minivan. Practical and accommodating, a sturdy minivan will make traveling through Yellowstone a breeze. Pile in one of our minivans and watch the Yellowstone moments add up.

If a Chevrolet Equinox or SUV is the best vehicle for your Yellowstone exploration, you’re in good hands. The team at Yellowstone Vacations knows that many customers are looking for the space and performance that an SUV provides.
