KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Brighton

  • Brighton is a small city, and many of its attractions are spread across different areas. Renting cheap car rentals in Brighton will provide you with the freedom to explore these places without worrying about public transportation. For instance, Barr Lake State Park, which is a popular tourist destination in Brighton, is located 10 miles away from the city center. By getting a Brighton car rental, you can easily reach there and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Using a car rental in Brighton is also a more convenient option, especially if you are traveling with family or a large group.
  • Denver International Airport (DEN) is the closest airport to Brighton and is about 31 miles away. The car rental counters at DEN are located on level 5 of the Jeppesen Terminal. There is a free shuttle bus that runs between the terminal and the rental car lots. The shuttle pick-up area is located outside the terminal on level 5, and the shuttle drop-off area is at each of the rental car lots. Cheyenne Regional Airport (CYS) is about 76 miles from Brighton.

  • Driving cheap car rentals in Brighton is generally easy and straightforward, but there are certain things to keep in mind.

Bicycles are a common sight in the city, especially during the warmer months, so it's important to share the road with them and maintain a safe distance. Trucks are also a common sight on the highway, so it's important to be patient around them, as they may take longer to maneuver or slow down.
  • Rush hour in Brighton typically occurs between 7:00 am-9:00 am and 4:30 pm-6:30 pm during weekdays. The roads that are most affected during peak hours are Interstate 76 and US Route 85.

Drivers will need to be mindful of slippery road conditions and reduced visibility, and take extra precautions when driving a Brighton car rental. Additionally, the roads outside of town can get muddy in the spring and summer months due to the region's agricultural activities.

The vehicle was indistinguishable from a similar rental anywhere else. The pickup process included phrasing that sounded like I was required to purchase additional insurance and the news that if I used a toll road there’s be a charge close to $30. The return was the real issue. No one was at the counter 2 hrs after they open. I just left the keys on the desk at the insistence of someone working at a desk for an unrelated company who kept saying “she’s definitely around here somewhere.” Called the shuttle driver to see how long it would be (since there’s only one) and he hung up on me when I tried to find out if “it’ll be a little bit” meant 10 minutes or 30.

Too long to get picked up. Doing paperwork took too long and agent made thing very confusing. Didn’t get paper copies of bill. Then found out location closes at 4:00 pm. And no ride back to airport. Agent said get an Uber or walk across street to another company and get a ride. Will never use this AVR again!!!!!

The staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. The man who checked us in acted as though we were an inconvenience to his life. He was very condescending and quite rude. He would seem very bothered by any of my questions. I had requested a different car and when I asked about it, he told me they were very similar with an attitude. When we did get in the car, it obviously had not been cleaned. It was very dirty. No one walked us around a check for scrapes or dents. When we drop the car off, a man offered us a ride to the airport with the van. He was very nice. It was very quick. However I did not have cash to tip him and then he was rude that we didn’t give him tip. I will never rent a car through this company again. I highly recommend you removed them as your vender list. Rude dirty did not feel the value. I can take my money elsewhere.

Pickup was slow, and we had to call to get it moving. On a Saturday morning. Transport back to airport was also slower, and the driver was having a heated argument with someone there on the phone as well, making us pretty uncomfortable. The car itself was great and so was the cost, very hassle free overall.

Proof of insurance was required. I couldn’t find my mobile insurance card and was told insurance was $40 so instead of holding up the line I chose to pay $40. I should’ve read the contract more closely though because it was $40/day which I thought was deceptive to not say outright
