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.
  • Although driving your car rentals in Denver can be fan, there are distracted drivers just like in other cities throughout. 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.

Nothing was liked! My booking was for 4/4/24-4/6/24 and was scheduled to pick up my vehicle at noon on 4/4 but when I arrived at hertz there was no one there and sign on their door said they would be back at 3:00. There was no one at the location and therefore I was unable to get my rental. I returned at 3:30 and the sign now says back at 4:30…my entire day was off schedule and I missed an important meeting!!! I will never book thru kayak or hertz again.

Fill the windshield wash fluid reservoir before each rental! In all fairness I've had the same issue with virtually every car rental agency I've ever used!

Cons:

To actually get a car I had reserved instead of canceling my rental and then when I try to rebook I am charged a $250 drop fee that was not there the day before. Poor business and I was stuck out of town for an extra 5 days.

Cons:

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. 😊
