KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lakewood

  • Very few things come with the excitement of vacationing or even going on a business trip in a new city. If you're currently planning a trip to Lakewood, Colorado, one of your major concerns could be how to get around in and out of the city. Sometimes public transportation can be confusing and hard to keep up with, so renting a car makes a lot of sense. You'll have a GPS navigational system that’ll help you get to any corner of the city without getting lost, and you'll have the ability to explore and tick off everything on your bucket list at your own convenience. With a rental car in Lakewood, you could explore Red Rocks Park, which is just 12 miles away, or as far as the Garden of the Gods, which is about 71 miles away, all at your own pace and time. Convenient, right?
  • Once you arrive at the Denver International Airport, you'll find the rental car counter on the airport property. The car rental agencies provide courtesy shuttles that take customers from the Jeppesen Terminal directly to the rental car counter. To get to the shuttle, go from Terminal Level 5 on Island 4 through doors 505 and 513 on the east side or through doors 504 and 512 on the west side. You can pick up your car of choice from several car rentals in Lakewood, including Enterprise, Alamo, Avis, Dollar, Thrifty, and Payless.
  • There are several intersections in Lakewood you should watch out for pedestrians, starting with West 2nd place and Union Blvd. West Mississippi Ave and South Watson Blvd, and West Colfax Ave and Kendall Street are notorious for pedestrian accidents. Many intersections in Lakewood are, so be watchful when cruising around the city. Cyclists are legally allowed to ride in the street, so stay out of bike lanes and make sure you understand cyclist hand signals and open car doors cautiously.
  • An ideal time to stay away from Lakewood roads if you want to escape a total traffic gridlock is between 5pm and 6pm. The 1-70 and 1-25 can be especially backed up, even on weekends, with the morning commute between 7am to 8am. During winter, expect to find black ice, splashback, and snow ridges on Lakewood roads, which makes having the right type of car a significant aspect of your trip.
  • Before driving cheap car rentals in Lakewood, there are some major roads you should know. West Colfax Avenue is a major road that runs east-west through Lakewood and connects the city to downtown Denver. Wadsworth Boulevard runs north-south through Lakewood and is a major commercial corridor with many shopping centers, restaurants, and other businesses. Alameda Avenue runs east-west through Lakewood and connects the city to Denver to the east and to the foothills and mountains to the west. Kipling Street, a north-south road, runs through Lakewood and connects the city to neighboring communities. 6th Avenue is an east-west highway running through Lakewood and connects the city to downtown Denver and the nearby mountains.
  • If you’ll be driving cheap car rentals in Lakewood that are electric, here are some EV charging stations you should know about. Lakewood Civic Center, Wadsworth Belmar Shopping District, Federal Center Station, St. Anthony Hospital, and Belmar Library each have free Level 2 EV charging stations available to the public. However, the most convenient location is the Lakewood Civic Center, which offers four Level 2 EV charging stations that are free to use. This location offers more charging stations, and is easily accessible from Highway 6 and Wadsworth Blvd.
  • Driving on mountain roads in Lakewood, Colorado, can be a beautiful and exhilarating experience, but it also requires extra attention and preparation to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. There are some things to remember when driving on mountain roads in Lakewood. First, if the weather is bad, consider delaying your trip until conditions improve. Second, when driving on steep grades, use lower gears to help control your speed and prevent your brakes from overheating. Mountain roads are often home to wildlife, so keep an eye out. Leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, especially when driving downhill. Lastly, mountain roads can be narrow and winding, so stay alert and always focus on the road.

We got to budget at DIA around 11:30pm on 2/9/24. There was a huge line. It was not moving. I asked people who had been in line for 90mins and they still had half way to go. Terrible! So slow. Miserable. We called uber and went to our hotel. Budget at DIA: horrible experience.

They have double charged me. Hertz has a sleazy way of making it seem like you pay one thing but then they charge you much more later. I will not be renting through kayak again because this is a shady practice y'all are linking users up for.

Fantastic staff and great service. Kind, responsive, professional, just a pleasure to work with.

Cons:

Location does not allow after-hours key drop due to roving car-theft gangs. Maybe a better/stronger drop box could work?

Cons:

The woman who serviced us upon arrival was very rude. Especially, with the drop off. We were supposed to do a key drop off box. The place suspended that activity and never let us know. There was nowhere to leave the car and we didn't know what to do. She must have seen us from a distance since the office was closed and came over to ask about us. Her response was well today is your lucky day. not, I'm sorry for the inconvenience we should have contacted you telling you our policy has changed nothing.
