KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Moab
- Opting for car hire in Moab offers the freedom to explore the stunning natural wonders of the surrounding areas that are not always accessible by public transport. While there are public buses operated by Grand County Travel Council, having a car gives you the flexibility to visit places like Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park at your own pace. Plus, driving through scenic routes, like the Colorado River Scenic Byway, is an experience in itself.
- When arriving at Canyonlands Field Airport (CNY) in Moab, consider Moab car hire directly from the airport to start your adventure without delay. You'll find the car hire desks conveniently located inside the main terminal building. After exiting the Arrivals area, head towards the Baggage Claim area. The car hire desks of major companies like Avis, Budget, and Enterprise are situated near the Baggage Claim, making it easy to proceed with your car hire process. From there, the staff will guide you through the necessary paperwork and provide further instructions for collecting your hire car, which will be parked nearby in the airport car park.
- While driving a car hire in Moab, you'll be treated to a pleasant experience with well-maintained roads and favourable driving conditions. However, do watch out for pedestrians and cyclists, who are commonly found in downtown Moab along Main Street and Centre Street. One unique element of driving in Moab is the opportunity to witness breathtaking views while driving through the Colorado River Scenic Byway.
- There are no significant rush hour times to avoid in Moab, as it is a smaller city. However, during peak tourism seasons, such as spring and autumn, there may be increased traffic in the popular national parks. During peak tourism seasons, expect increased traffic on popular routes such as Highway 128 and Highway 313. Some unique challenges include encountering large recreational vehicles (RVs) on narrow scenic roads like Shafer Trail and Potash Road.
- Book your car hire in Moab at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate car hire in Moab are around 0% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
They did give us a bit of a discount, which helped with the added cost of transportation downtown from airport, but it was very upsettingCons:
My booking was intended to be at the airport. I googled “grand junction car rentals” and it automatically propagated the downtown location for me, but it did not say non airport. It should have been clearer that this was not an airport rental. When I went back on the website after my trip to see what went wrong, it did the same thing. If I change the location that said Grand Junction then I see the top choice is airport, but the original google search automatically put in the downtown location as pick up and drop off. When I do searches in Kayak and other sites it is very clear, but the Enterprise site was not. This was very inconvenient! I’ve never had this happen before.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was absolutely horrible, I made a reservation online.. when my plane landed.. the car rental place was closed an I had to fine away out of the airport. When I called customer service they told me they couldn't help me and it wasn't their problem.. No when I asked to be transferred to a supervisor she informed me there was no one there to assist me and hung up.. so not only did I not get my rental at all.. but I also had the most rude representative on earth.. very upset!! Wasted a total of 3 hours of my timeCons:
make sure if you are accepting reservations for rentals.. that someone is actually there to assist the customer.. and bump up your customer service... absolutely appalled.4.8 Mediocre

When our SW flight landed unexpectedly in Grand Junction (due to bad weather in Denver), we were able to get the last one-way rental from Avis. Great customer service, nice car, no hassle paperwork. We were on our way in a jiffy. Thanks Avis!Budget

The staff here were wonderful the second day, but the pick-up was very hostile, and dismissive. They did the usual add-on speel - you want X, X, X? However they tried to push an upgrade on me - I live here and I think they thought I was a tourist. You do NOT need a full 4x4 for these mountain roads... This is Colorado, not the steppes of Mongolia.10.0 Wonderful
