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. Cheyenne Regional Airport has only one rental car company available, Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The rental car counter is located in the baggage claim area.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Brighton is generally easy and straightforward, but there are certain things to keep in mind. Pedestrians are the top priority in crosswalks, and drivers are required to yield to them. It's important to be aware and watch out for pedestrians when driving car rentals in Brighton, especially in busy areas around the center. 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. Driving cheap car rentals in Brighton during the winter months can be challenging due to the presence of snow and ice on the roads. 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!!!!!

I didn’t pick up the rental. I called customer service for a refund because we got picked by the wrong ride, we had to stand in line for a long time and they asked for $500 security deposit. I canceled the rental and the customer service staff told me to call the company I booked my reservation with. York rental is a big joke!

Everything was great until car return. The attendant was nowhere to be seen so I went inside, waited 10-min in line only to be sent back outside. Still, no attendant to be seen. I walked over to the exit gate attendant, and asked if she could check me in. Without speaking, she just pointed. After a little back and forth, I realized she was pointing to the guy sitting in a closed car playing on his phone. Seemingly confused (I was standing outside his car with my contract and key in hand), he asked me what I needed. I explained to him that I had been there for a while and then went inside and stood in line for 10-minutes. Without apology, he said twice that he didn’t see me drive in.

I reserved a luxury car. And was given a BMW 2 series. These are small. And my husband is tall. It did not have seat warms nor steering column warmer. It was also not clean. It looked like a fluid splattered on front interior. We saw this in the sun light. I asked for a larger car and so they offered us an suv at 65$ increase per day. They had no comparable car to offer. We arrived after 1 am Friday morning to the car rental location we were tiered and no other options. Dispite their full lot. I reserved the car for Thursday 11:30. Took possession of the car Friday after 1am. And they of course changed for Thursday. Is this how business is done these days ? I am not impressed

The wait was almost 1 hour. The salesman was very slow. We ended up with a terrible dirty smelly car which was way over priced. He sold us a toll pass, which we knew we did not need, due to the times we were traveling, but we were too tired to say no. The car smelled like pot the entire time requiring us to leave our windows open, in winter in Colorado. The worst car rental experience ever!
