Top tips for hiring a car from Budget at Denver Intl Airport

  • When you book Budget car rentals at Denver International Airport (DEN), picking up your rental car is quick and convenient. This is because this Budget branch is open 24/7, including on weekends and holidays so you will not need to worry about arriving after closing time.
  • When you need to return your Denver International Airport car rental from Budget after your trip, it is good to know in advance that the return location is the same as the pickup location. When you drive there, you can take I-70 to Pena Blvd. before taking the exit marked as “Rental Car.” You will find the rental car return lot adjacent to the cell phone waiting lot.

The line to pickup car was over an hour. The battery in the key fob for the car was almost dead. Car was dirty. Drop off took very long. Drop off bus was slow. Still better than Fox.Reviewed 23 June 2025

Shuttle took a long time to show up. The worse part is that the rental that online was $161, ended up $803 . Stay away from Budget. That low price is just a click baitReviewed 14 June 2025

The staff at the retail counter were so wonderful. We had had a horrible travel experience and it was midnight and we were stranded in Denver for 2 nights thanks to United’s inability to manage their business. We decided to drive from Denver to Boise instead is waiting 2 days to catch our flight…and Budget came to the rescue. This was the first thing that went right all day and I was so relieved, I started crying. Thanks to the team there, we were on our way with no more hassle!Reviewed 12 May 2025

Car was good - drop off easy Waiting in line with unsympathetic staff for over 1.5 hours was really badReviewed 15 Nov 2024

The worst rental car experience I have ever had. I have rented with many of your competitors at Denver International and have never had an experience this bad. I waited one hour and 17 minutes in line to check in and get my vehicle. The longest I have ever waited with a competitor is 15 minutes. Many others who came in after I did would have had even longer wait times, as the line grew to be out the doors into the outside areas. The staff made no apologies or offerings due to the long wait times and acted as if it were normal. And once I got our vehicle the low coolant light was on and we noticed many significant imperfections on the outside, for example missing the G and E in RANGE ROVER at the front. Based on this experience, it will be my first and last with Budget.Reviewed 3 Oct 2024
