Top tips for renting a car at Colorado Springs airport
Colorado Airport (COS) has many ground transfer options to the city center, but none provides an excellent travel experience as a Colorado Springs Airport rental car when it comes to comfort, convenience, freedom, luxury, and flexibility. Freedom of movement to any spot in the city at any given time is the primary advantage of renting a vehicle from a car rental at Colorado Airport (COS). Whether you'd like to access the Creekside Event Center for business or US Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, you can do so straight from the airport. Additionally, a rental car is always at its peak performance, thanks to its regular maintenance and safety checks.
When traveling with family members or business colleagues, there may be more than one driver in the car holding a driving license. However, that doesn’t mean you have to take turns behind the steering wheel. Unless unavoidable, drive the rental by yourself until the last day you return it to your preferred rental company. If you plan to use an additional driver, kindly check the terms and conditions of the rental contract or consult with your rental agency.
Is your flight departure in a few hours, and you have to return your rental vehicle? Your car rental at Colorado Springs Airport (COS) provides a straightforward car return procedure. Follow the overhead signs leading to the car rental stations and complete the return procedure with your agent. Perhaps you have a late flight departure and you have to return the car during the after-hours; simply park the vehicle in the designated parking lot and lock it. Complete the contract and toss the car keys in the drop box situated in the returns section.
You won't find driving in Colorado Springs that difficult, but you can expect some bottleneck sections as you advance toward the city center in the morning. The rush hour starts at around 6 am, although many people start commuting to work before then. Traffic gets heaviest from 6.30 am to around 8.30 am and from around 4 pm to 6 pm, and we recommend that you drive during the off-peak hours to enjoy fairly moving traffic.

Colorado Springs Airport car rental reviews and directory
Poor first experience renting a vehicle from Budget. The gentleman whom checked me in was very bland and unhelpful. He gave me a much larger vehicle that was terrible to maneuver around Colorado Springs. He acted liked he was doing me a God-given favor. Would not recommend this company to anyone.

Budget check-in was kinda grumpy. And worst part was the gas funnel was defective, it took 20 minutes to pump gas cause it was getting stuck in filler. My hand and arm had to work hard to pump the gas each time. And the car was only filled 3/4 of a tank!

Beware. About a week after our return we received a letter igniting we would be charged $450 because the exterior of the car was too dirty. $450 to wash a car???? We were caught in rain and drove on a dusty gravel road. The Jeep was a 4x4. The interior of the car was returned in spotless condition. There was no damage to the exterior, etc. It was dirty. Beware.
I asked for an all wheel drive vehicle and was not given one which I was not aware of until getting stuck. For the rest of my time I could not drive up to my accommodations and had to have elderly travel companions walk up a snow covered icy driveway several times due to the fear of getting stuck again. Both of them fell. Given the conditions of my travel in the mountains of CO the vehicle was inadequate.

Staff was great. It was a holiday weekend and our plane was diverted. I grabbed the app and rented a car from the plane. We ended up one way drive from Colorado Springs to Phoenix to finish our trip. P

Terrible! Mike at Colorado Springs airport cancelled my reservation at the desk after I complained about having to pay additional coverage! I then had to go online and make another reservation. Went back to Mike and he then proceeded to tell me that it was rare to get same day reservations and that the only car available was an electric car. The car was a nightmare to charge and kept showing all sorts of malfunction alerts, I returned it early. Never again!

Rude agents at pick up. Couldn’t book earlier that 8AM, wouldn’t give car 30 minutes early for a 5 hour car rental. Very expensive for one day rental, but I was in a bind.

Pick up was quick and easy. Drop off was an issue. I took a photo of the mileage and fuel gauge to show but was just asked for the keys. I was billed for not fueling the truck. Ended up having to call customer service due to being incorrectly charged for not filling the truck
