An SUV can be a convenient choice for an Aspen car rental, as it will help you drive safely through the mountains in the surrounding region. It is also a nice option for navigating the city when there is snow and ice. If you will be partaking in any recreational activities like skiing and snowboarding, you will have plenty of room to store all of your equipment.
Unless clearly stated otherwise, most streets in Aspen have a speed limit of 20mph, even if you are not near a school. When driving on Highway 82, you will find that the speed limit can be up to 55mph, but is often lower for sections of the road that are particularly windy or are in hillier areas. Keep in mind that some of the major intersections in the city have traffic cameras, and police officers are often watching Highway 82, so make sure to follow traffic laws as closely as possible in order to avoid being pulled over or receiving a fine.
All parking in downtown Aspen is paid, but it is possible to find free street parking in residential areas. Keep in mind that street parking in the downtown area is not allowed between 3am and 7am, and your vehicle may be towed if you leave it there during these hours. The Rio Grande Garage is a popular place to park in the city center, and prices start at around $2 per hour.

Pros:
Perhaps I should have read more carefully. Given the snow conditions, I rented an SUV and must have understood incorrectly as I expected all-wheel or four-wheel drive. I was offered a $150 upsell. Guy walking up next to me got a small all wheel drive which was not offered. Car was outside covered in snow and ice impossible to inspect thoroughlyCons:

The Alamo Rep called me about a hour before scheduled time, asking me when to be picking it up. I arrived 10 min. prior, And no rep was present, proceeded to call assistance number and still took about half an hour to get the car once rep showed up. Car smelled awful, hadn’t been cleaned proir.2.4 Poor

Pros:
Easy drop off and pick up.Cons:
The car upon pick up was dirty. Plus, it is underpowered and underserving for the area. The attendant tried to tell us all cars have trouble in CO, but we have been to CO many times and this was our first issue. Plus, we rode in friends cars without issue. The attendant nearly hit us when we arrivedOne location in Aspen
