Getting to Yellowstone Without a Car: Shuttle and Transportation Options
Planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park but don't want to rent a car? You're not alone! Many visitors fly into Montana and Wyoming each year and need a reliable way to get from the airport to Yellowstone's gateway communities and popular attractions.
Getting around Yellowstone without a car can take some planning, but there are transportation options available. Old Faithful and Friends is helping make Yellowstone more accessible by offering public shuttle routes, private transportation, airport transfers, and guided sightseeing tours.
In this guide, we'll explain how to get from Bozeman to Yellowstone, explore your shuttle options, and travel to popular destinations like Gardiner, Mammoth Hot Springs, West Yellowstone, and Old Faithful.
Can You Visit Yellowstone National Park Without a Car?
Yes! You can visit Yellowstone without renting a car, but transportation requires some advance planning.
Yellowstone is a large national park, and its major attractions are spread throughout the park. Having a transportation plan before arriving can make your vacation much easier.
Some visitors choose guided tours, while others arrange private transportation or use shuttle services to reach their hotels and destinations.
Old Faithful and Friends offers transportation options designed to help visitors travel between Bozeman, Montana, Yellowstone's gateway communities, and destinations inside the national park.
Yellowstone Shuttle Options from Bozeman, Montana
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) is a popular starting point for visitors traveling to Yellowstone National Park. However, getting from the airport to Yellowstone can be challenging without a rental car.
Old Faithful and Friends offers public shuttle routes connecting Bozeman with two important Yellowstone destinations.
1. Bozeman to Gardiner and Mammoth Hot Springs Shuttle
Our first public shuttle route connects Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport with Gardiner, Montana, and Mammoth Hot Springs inside Yellowstone National Park.
Gardiner is located at Yellowstone's North Entrance and is a popular destination for visitors staying outside the park.
The route provides transportation between:
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN)
Gardiner Visitor Center
Mammoth Hot Springs Visitor Center
This shuttle is a convenient option for travelers flying into Bozeman who are staying in Gardiner or visiting the northern section of Yellowstone.
2. Bozeman to West Yellowstone and Old Faithful Shuttle
Our second public shuttle route connects Bozeman with West Yellowstone and Old Faithful Visitor Center.
West Yellowstone is one of Yellowstone's most popular gateway communities and provides access to the park's famous geyser basins.
This route provides transportation between:
Bozeman, Montana
West Yellowstone, Montana
Old Faithful Visitor Center
For visitors who want to see Old Faithful without renting a car, this shuttle offers another transportation option.
Together, these two routes help connect Bozeman with some of Yellowstone's most popular destinations.
Private Yellowstone Transportation
Not every traveler needs a public shuttle. Some visitors prefer private transportation that takes them directly to their hotel, airport, or destination.
