Cheap car rentals in Denver
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Denver
- Denver is a large city with several iconic landmarks and a wide selection of attraction areas, and there is no better way to explore these hidden gems than Denver car rentals. In contrast to public transportation, car rentals in Denver offer convenience and flexibility. With your car rentals in Denver, you can conveniently explore Roxborough State Park, Rocky Mountains National Park, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and Fort Collins. Renting a car is cheaper than the cumulative bus fares, especially if you plan for an extended stay.
- Getting your Denver car rentals at the airport lets you leap into adventure as soon as you land. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is the nearest airport to Denver, about 29 miles from the city center. You will land here if you fly into the city. Car rental desks are at the Car Rental Facility in the Level 2 Lobby of the Hourly Parking Deck. Car rental shuttles operate between the Center and airport terminals. You will find Budget, Hertz, Avis, Alamo, National, and Enterprise.

It is unsurprising to encounter jaywalkers in the city despite being outlawed, as pedestrians occasionally ignore crosswalk regulations. Again, bikers are generally impatient and often disregard traffic light regulations. Denver is a bicycle-friendly city, so it’s natural to encounter cyclists. Sadly, they usually disobey traffic regulations. Be sure to pay attention to avoid hitting them. Communicate your intentions clearly to other drivers.
- Although Denver has well-developed and marked roads, it experiences significant road congestion during rush hours. The dense traffic in Denver during rush hours is due to several residents accessing the city with personal vehicles.

Endeavor to avoid congested areas during these hours, as they are brimming with vehicles and human traffic.

Reserved a Malibu or similar. Showed me an SUV. Told him I didn’t want an SUV, Was told it was a free upgrade and they had nothing else. Said I don’t like driving SUVs. He went inside, I followed.

Pros:
The car was clean and drove nicelyCons:
My boyfriend booked the rental for me online for a wedding we were attending out of state. He had to leave before me and when I picked up the car they wouldn’t let me use the rsvp b/c I didn’t have his cc. They told me I had to cxl my online rsvp and rebook at a different rate. The new rate was twice as much! Plus there was a non refundable cxlation fee of $80! It was 3 times what we experienced to pay and it took forever to get the car b/c there was only one guy working at this location. Never again will I use this company.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing. The booking experience was smooth and easy, but the inventory wasn't there to back up what was booked. I Called the location to verify the address and was told they had no cars available. That left me having to scramble to figure out what to do.Cons:
I was able to book and they didn't have any cars. We were transporting teens to help with hurricane clean up and had to inconvenience a family that had other plans to get them there since there were no cars.Avis

The only ‘con’ I have is that I am still waiting for a final receipt. I dropped it off last Wednesday and today is Monday, and I don’t have a final bill. But that’s minor. Overall, I would definitely rent from Budget again. 😊2.0 Poor
