If you’re looking at car hire at Denver Intl Airport, you’ll see that it’s a very simple process. Once your flight has landed and you’ve made it through passport control, you will find the car hire company desks located in the Jeppesen Terminal on Level 5. To make matters even easier and cheaper for you, we recommend booking your hire car online prior to your departure through KAYAK. That way you won’t have to wait in line at the car hire desks and can go directly to the shuttle bus terminal, located on island 4, outside doors 505-513 on the east side and doors 504-512 on the west side. Follow the signs at the car hire desks; each company has its own dedicated shuttle bus to the car collection points.
Denver Intl Airport car hire is a convenient and popular way to travel around Denver and explore the natural beauty of Colorado state and the Rocky Mountains in particular. Denver city has a good public transportation system, and you can catch a train from the airport to the city for only around $10.50 (£7.60) which takes about 35–40min. However, having to rely on trains and buses to see the city and its surrounding areas can take its toll, with waiting times and travel times likely to be longer; renting a car is much more advantageous. With so much to see in and around Denver, you’ll need a hire car to help you fit in all the sights.
Once you’ve collected your hire car, you can get started on your trip into Denver almost immediately. All the major car hire companies are based on the Pena Boulevard, a major road that connects Denver Airport with the city. It takes around 35min to drive the 26 miles to the city centre, connecting Pena Boulevard to the I70 East motorway. Going north toward the Rocky Mountain National Park or south towar Colorado Springs, you can easily access the E-470 motorway from Pena Boulevard. It’s important to note that E-470 is a toll road, so check with your rental company regarding their toll collection policy, as the fee will automatically be registered to the vehicle’s number plate.
When it comes to car hire at Denver Intl Airport, make sure to take note of the business hours of your car hire company, so that you’re aware what time the car will need to be returned. In some cases, like with Hertz, they require you to confirm your return time upon booking. However, policies always differ depending on which company you hire a vehicle from. So, if you’re planning on returning the vehicle outside of standard office hours, we recommend you notify the company with as much notice as possible.

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.

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!

Pros:

Car was fine, pick-up and drop were fine. My issue would be with the signage on the buses (on EVERY window of the bus) letting passengers know you are limiting the number of people onboard and requiring all to wear masks to protect us. And then the driver just keeps on letting people board - every seat was taken, people were standing and maskless.

Cons:

Actually complying with the signage

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.

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.

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.

The car was scheduled for maintenance so I was driving hoping that it wouldn’t break down. That was concerning. Other than that, the staff was great. I appreciate not constantly being “upsold” for things which is often the case for car rentals

Disappointed they did not have ANY cars in the class I booked which was compact suv. They do not have Any Toyotas on the lot. Had a TON of Jeep Cherokee vehicles that they tried to "upgrade" me to. I specifically booked a compact suv for gas/mpg purposes. So instead I had to settle for a sedan, which I was not happy about. Also, no where in booking did it say cars can only drive to states that touch/ border Colorado. However, there is a sign at the counter that displays that information as the cars have GPS & you will be fined $500+ if you go beyond those restrictions. That is crucial information customers need to know at the time of booking.
