Peer-to-peer car rental in Boise
Alvro is a peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace based in Boise, Idaho. Local hosts will share the cars they own, and guests will rent them. Alvro is launching in Boise and expects to launch in early 2027. Bookings are not open yet.
How Alvro will work in Boise
Hosts in the Boise area will list their own cars on Alvro. Alvro doesn't own vehicles. Once Alvro opens, guests will be able to book a host's car by the hour, day, week or month. Some hosts will offer delivery to an airport, hotel or address, which could mean a car waiting when you land at Boise Airport. Protection plans will come through licensed third-party insurers. You can read the steps on how Alvro works.
Trips Alvro is built for in Boise
- Airport arrivals. Skip the rental counter when a host offers delivery, or pick up a host's car near the terminal.
- Game-day and concert weekends. Boise State plays at Albertsons Stadium, the Steelheads play hockey, and concerts come to town. Our Boise game-day guide covers getting around on those weekends.
- Weekends in the foothills. A car by the day or the weekend makes the trails close to town easy to reach.
- The drive to Portland. I-84 runs from Boise along the Columbia River Gorge. Our Boise to Portland road-trip guide has the details, and Alvro is launching in Portland too.
Getting around at Boise Airport (BOI)
Boise Airport is about four miles from downtown, so a hotel is roughly ten minutes away. The Rental Car Center connects to the terminal by a covered walkway just west of baggage claim. Valley Regional Transit's Route 3 Vista runs from the airport to downtown, and Route 2 Broadway runs to Broadway and University, near Albertsons Stadium.
For Boise hosts
If you own a car in Boise, you will be able to list it and share it. Hosts will keep up to 90% of every trip. Under Alvro's fee schedule, the host's share will depend on the host protection tier the car is listed under: 90% (Basic), 85% (Standard) or 75% (Premium). Alvro will keep the rest as its commission. When you are ready, become a host.
How Alvro checks drivers
Alvro pulls motor vehicle records (MVRs) under admin review. Staff decide when a record is pulled.
Join the waitlist
Bookings aren't open yet. Renters and hosts can join the waitlist, and Alvro will contact members when it opens near them. The form asks for an email address, an optional mobile number, whether you want to rent, host or both, and an optional state.
