May 2021
Pros:
Staff was friendly and very helpfulCons:
Car was not cleaned thoroughly and smelled faintly of cigarettes10.0 Excellent
May 2021
Pros:
The process was fairly easy to rent the car. The shuttle was there promptly and when we went inside there wasn’t a huge line and they even upgraded my car so that was awesome.Cons:
I didn’t like the limit of mileage that I had, I thought it would be unlimited but they still gave me more than enough miles to do what we wanted to do.2.0 Mediocre
May 2021
Cons:
Was unable to pick up my rental car because they do not rent to people in the state of Colorado where they are located. Still was not refunded my $211.968.0 Excellent
Apr 2021
Pros:
Staff were great. They only had one shuttle and had to ewait outside for a while. They crammed in 15 people during the pandemic back to the airport. Other than that, a great value and the SUV was great..6.0 Good
Apr 2021
Cons:
More shuttles. I stood at the curb close to an hour waiting for the shuttle. So many people accumulated that when the shuttle finally came, only half the group could fit. There was no room for the large families with small children. Bad scene.2.0 Mediocre
Mar 2021
Pros:
Nothing, horrible experience from start to finish.Cons:
The whole operation is nothing but a scam. There is NO customer service and they charged my credit card a $500 deposit 4 days after I returned my car(no incidents to the car). 10 days after returning the car, charges have not been removed and nobody from corporate will not respond to me.Ace

2.0 Mediocre
Apr 2021
Pros:
Staff was friendly enough but understaffed and determined to sell every extra option. Car was nice and drove well.Cons:
More shuttles. Long wait at terminal on arrival and similar wait after drop off. Rental office is a couple miles from the terminal. Long, slow lines at rental office with not enough agents. Some agents did not appear to work quickly with each customer despite long line of waiting people. Some agents push hard for customers to upgrade or add options that increase cost. This further slows the transaction and is aggravating if you are number 15 in line. Won’t use Ace again.2.0 Mediocre
Apr 2021
Pros:
Drop Off was quick and easyCons:
Pickup was a nightmare. Spent an hour at least just waiting for a car. Staff was nice but small talking everyone to try and slow everything down. The toll fee scam they are running is world class. $50 PLUS the toll if you dont pre-purchase their toll scam at $10/day??? Come on! If Denver had an option to pay at the toll then i can see this being justified, but when the city requires toll by plate this is just a scam10.0 Excellent
Apr 2021
Pros:
I like it because the price was lowest. Others are ordinary. No negative factor.Cons:
I have no complaint.4.0 Okay
Apr 2021
Pros:
Drop off was easy and the shuttle came 2 minutes after.Cons:
The car had 44,000 on it and was more like Rent a wreck. The car had a sweet, chemical smell in it, Iike it was covering up cigarette smoke. Needed the windows open. No screen on car dash for navigation from your phone.8.0 Excellent
Apr 2021
Cons:
Communication on toll roads.2.0 Mediocre
Mar 2021
Pros:
I didn't like anything about this experienceCons:
The salesman completely upsold me as the car that I rented "wasn't available". I knew I was being taken advantage of, but didn't feel like there was anything I could do.Enterprise

Aug 2020
Pros:
The staff was friendly, and detailed .Cons:
I wish the price could've been better. Covid or not, companies are capitalizing .2.0 Mediocre
Jul 2020
Cons:
Had to make a change to reservation. Removed 1 day from reservation and enterprise jacked up the price over $100 for 3 less days. Terrible company. I will never use enterprise again. Canceled reservation. I was told that a price increase was because of increased demand. They are liars. They don't care about their customers only care about ripping them off.10.0 Excellent
Dec 2019
Pros:
Helpful and friendly staff. Kelly kept in touch with me the week before and up to my reservation date. The checkout was quick and easy. The drop-off was after hour and was just as simple. I will continue to use Enterprise as my rental company.Cons:
Honestly, everything went better than I thought it would. Keep up the great work at the Aurora, Co. center on E 6th Ave.10.0 Excellent

Jul 2019
Pros:
The car was clean and waiting for me when I arrived.Cons:
The signage and pickup/dropoff communications were not clear until we arrived. The location had changed, and signage was almost entirely absent at the lot.9.2 Excellent
Jul 2019
Cons:
Within the Silvercar App, they had the wrong address for the drop-off location.9.6 Excellent
Dec 2018
Pros:
The Silvercar rental people were amazing. They explained all the features of the Audi I rented. They were super helpful when I had to switch the car for the Audi SUV due to more people arriving for Christmas. I would highly recommend using Silvercar to rent an Audi in Denver. Super fun car and SUV to drive!Cons:
The only issue I had was navigating the web site, but I believe that was both an issue using a third party rental and my lack of knowledge. Once I got ahold of a Silvercar representative the issue was resolved quickly.10.0 Excellent

Oct 2020
Pros:
From start to finish, pick up and drop off was simple and quick. Staff on both ends were friendly and efficient. I have no complaints and the car, Malibu, was great on gas and gadgets.Cons:

Pros:

The staff was incompetent.8.0 Excellent
Jul 2019
Pros:
Staff was awesome.Cons:
We had selected the car category Jeep Cherokee or similar and were given a Dodge Journey. Since we were doing a lot of driving through the mountains, we wished we had something more SUV-like. The Journey seemed like a down-grade. Also the oil change light came on during our rental.Avis

2.8 Mediocre
Oct 2017
Pros:
It got us to ca safeCons:
The check engine light was on in our rental adding another layer of stress to an already stressful out of state move. We called aurora budget and the man said he didn’t have any other cars we could use except that one and no big deal, it will be fine. Easy to say when you’re not driving halfway across the country.5.6 Okay

Top tips for renting a car in Aurora
- Rent a car during your stay in Aurora to benefit from the freedom and flexibility it brings to explore everything on display in your own time. Aurora is plonked next to Denver city, whose center is only a 20-minute car ride away. Hikers and nature lovers can also seize the opportunity to venture out to the Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, which is also only a 20 minutes’ drive to the north.
- Denver International Airport is only 17 miles from Aurora’s center and features several onsite car rental agencies which serve visitors with cars in all shapes and sizes. Complimentary shuttles operate between Jeppesen Terminal and the car rental offices. They leave from and return to Level 5 at island 4. Bear in mind that tolls apply on the E-470, but drivers can get to Aurora via Peña Boulevard.
- Driving in Aurora has a bad reputation with the city ranking as one of the worst cities to drive in, but that should not deter travelers, as good preparation and driving defensively are key aspects for a smooth experience during your stay. Part of the reason why driving in Aurora can be challenging comes down to the weather. With thunderstorms and tornadoes in the summer as well as sleet in the winter, roads can be treacherous, but by adapting speed and slowing down, drivers should face no major problems.
- Aurora has a high population density and during rush hour the roads can face severe congestion. Avoid driving on weekdays from 7 to 9 am and from 5 to 8 pm to evade the worst traffic, and plan ample of time ahead before going to a destination (especially when going to a game or to the airport). In the winter, it is pivotal to check that the car is equipped with winter tires and to drive carefully – especially when headed into the mountains.
