Telluride experiences snowy and icy conditions during the winter months from December to March, and it has mountainous terrain and occasional rough roads, making an AWD or a FWD highly beneficial. These vehicles provide better traction and stability when navigating mountainous roads and challenging terrain. During the winter months, you can equip them with snow tires or chains to get more traction on icy roads.
Highways and open roads have speed limits ranging from 45 to 65 mph. On main streets and downtown areas, the speed limit is generally from 15 to 20 mph.

Mar 2021
Pros:
Pick up and drop off was quick and easyCons:
Car was much smaller than expected. Said Nissan Pathfinder or similar (and I know it says not guaranteed) but we got a Kia Sorento which was a lot tighter than we were planning for. Had to have bags in laps/etc. Why not just tell us exactly the car we were reserving? Doesn't seem that hard10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
Reservation was made FINE months ago! When I arrived, they had NO automobiles available for rental at all!5.6 Fair
Feb 2017
Cons:
The final price was higher than promised. $419 versus $368 due extra taxes and fees charged by airport authority. Reason stated was rental was made at an offsite location. However, the offsite location does not rent cars. The day before rental Enterprise called to confirm pickup. Stated the pickup would be at the airport. The clerks would not honor the rental agreement. I was not told of the extra fees and taxes until drop off.One location in Telluride

Friendly efficient staff, nice car.Cons:
Price. Current shortages meant that a rental that cost $98 several months ago, cost $480 on my most recent trip. This was true for all rental companies, not just Alamo.One location in Telluride
