Car rental at Denver Intl Airport is recommended if you're in the Denver area for short or long stays. There are several to choose from, directly at the airport and along Peña Blvd. Before you book, check the cancellation policy so you can avoid paying if your plans change, as some may offer perks like free cancellation if done in advance.
When headed to the mountains for camping, glamping, or other outdoor activity, consider renting a vehicle that can handle the terrain.

Consider four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) options if you're going deep into the wilderness, especially during the rainy time of year.

When you're returning your rental, don't forget to gas up. There are gas stations to the east of the airport if you forget to refuel ahead of time. There are also a couple of members-only Costco locations to the south, making filling up returns for car rental at Denver Intl Airport easy. No matter where you go, be sure you do get gas because if not, you'll be paying a hefty surcharge if the rental company has to refuel your returned rental. It’s recommended to thoroughly read your rental agreement to avoid any surprise fees upon returning your rental car.
Denver Intl Airport car rental has green options available for those looking for hybrid vehicles.

Was not given a full size vehicle despite booking full size. Vehicle had a warning light on after picking up and I was told my only option was to spend 6 hours driving back through Denver traffic to return for a new rental car. New rental car was even smaller than the original car I was provided with. I was also charged a fee for fuel at $8.99 per gallon even though I returned the car full!

Shuttle times were unacceptable. Had to wait 25-30 minutes each way for a shuttle. The guy at the ticket counter spent way too much time and effort trying to up-sell add-on charges.

Thos company is a bait and switch company. Very displeased. I rented a mid sized suv and paid in full when reserved. When I showed up they said I only paid for a compact suv. No, it was very clear what I rented. I had to pay more than double again to get what I wanted when I picked it up. I paid over 300 dollars when I reserved my car, when I picked it up it was almost another 500 dollars extra. I will never rent from this company again. I will never recommend this company. I will talk bad about this company to anyone looking torrent from fox rentals. Do not use them for anything. You've Been warned.

First, they said that the reservation I made had been cancelled due that I needed to pick up the car at noon. Even do I showed them the reservation where it showed clearly that I had to pick it up at 630pm. Second, because of what I explained earlier the person at the counter gave me a much higher rate than the one I reserved online. When I complained they told me they had no more cars at the rate I had reserved initially. It seems this company is not what you expect and for some reason, they want to charge a different rate than what the client gets online. The person at the counter next to me had the same issue and was upset. Therefore, I would NOT recommend renting from this company.

They overcharged me - basically a bait and switch. Lots of Google reviews say the same thing, and I am sad I didn't listen. I thought paying online would alleviate that since everything is booked and paid off, but I was wrong.

The car was malfunctioning and we brought it to Alamo rental at the airport but they didn’t help at all. We were forced to park the car and leave it at our families. The only person that helped was the guy who took the car back and they called to get us a discount on the rental which we haven’t received.

Location was short on vehicles. Employees were working hard to keep wait to a minimum, even giving free upgrades if category reserved wasn't available. Shuttle bus driver was exceptional also - loading all bags so customers could get to the counter quickly and safely. SUV was in great shape with fewer miles than I've seen in rental cars since the pandemic. Excellent overall experience!

Your website said they were at the terminal and they were not. You need to take a shuttle. I opted to pay more for a rental with sixt so my elderly mother would not need to take a shuttle and then we ended up having to take one.

I didn’t like anything. The staff was extremely rude. I arrived and had to wait in line for 20 minutes because each of the four staff members was having casual conversations with customers who arrived in the shuttle bus with me. When I got to the counter, the agent said, “can’t help you” after I presented my license and credit card because my license had a chip on the corner. TSA accepts it, but not Sixt. There was no apology for their policy or attempt to help me find another rental group at 11p. There was no kindness. There was disdain, rudeness and a “screw you” attitude.

Provided a vehicle that was not clean and did not have working lights. After driving at night we realized that lights on one side of the vehicle were not working. We later learned it’s because they were completely disconnected. Terrifying to discover when you’re driving down a mountain at night through switch backs and have no proper lighting and no knowledge of how to fix it.

There was no option in the booking search function to specify an AWD or 4WD . We were flying into Colorado to go skiing. We got upsold for US$40 per day to an AWD. Really had no choice at that point. The upgraded car was great. We booked through QEED so it was probably more their issue than ACE's

Typical rug pull experience with these cheaper brands. Booked the premium, wasn’t even offered the premium option when picking up. When I told the desk worker I actually booked the premium, I got a rehearsed “oh, it won’t be ready for another 45 minutes”. No explanation, no apology, just continued checking out with the base model. Shuttle system is dated and very infrequent. We arrived early but still felt like we should have arrived earlier.

I was quoted $86 but was charged $297. The deposit was $400 and I was told when car is returned with no damage all extra charges will be removed to get my quoted price on kayak but it only went down to $297. I have called their office several times but no one is picking up.

Avis had a huge line of customers and only three individual serving them. We waited between an hour and a half and two hours and then decided to leave and take a Lyft when we realized we probably at least had another hour left to wait. This is Unacceptable.

I tried getting a ride from the airport and as I was walking up to the bus the driver closed the doors I was knocking on the door and they drove away. When I got to Avis they informed me that they couldn’t rent to me because my current license had a hole in it. Even though I showed proof that it was still a valid license on the DMV’s website. And I got charged for insurance on a car I never got.
