Easy, fast, friendly
Pros: Absolutely perfect experience with Fox in Denver. I've had plenty of bad rental experiences, and this was a breath of fresh air. Clean, beautiful car, and great, fast service!
Cons: Nothing at all.

Great value for your money
Pros: Quick van pick up/drop off. Efficient check out. Car in good condition. Perfect for our needs.
Cons: Car windows dirty outside. Looked like they were smeared with a dirty rag inside so hard to see through the windshield in the sun. Otherwise car was very clean.

Would never use them again. One and done
Pros: Employees are great and are obviously embarrassed by some of their companies policies.
Cons: The car they had me assigned to was badly damaged on all 4 sides. It had been sideswiped at some point and had additional scrapes and dents everywhere. If I wanted a different one I would have to clear the 2 feet of snow myself! They charge $15.00 PER TOLL PLAZA if you don't buy their toll package up front (12.00/ day)for ALL the days of your rental. Most people wouldn't drive on a toll road every day! The car had a half a tank of gas. Agent scribbled it on my contract. When i went to return it there was a hassle. They charge $150.00 deposit to your credit card when you rent; won't be returned until 3-5 days after you return. Finally, this car had bald tires on it. Denver had just recorded 2 feet of snow. I picked it up late at night and didn't realize they were that bad. I will NEVER ever rent from them again!

Found a new go-to rental company
Pros: Friendly staff, nice cars, great prices. Will definitely rent from again.
Cons: Not as many shuttle busses between the airport and the office as some of the larger companies.

So Slow
Cons: After catching the shuttle from the airport to the Fox Rental Center, I had to wait in line for 45 min to do the paperwork, and then another 45 in standing outside while they "finished" with my car in the wash bay. There were lots of others outside waiting too. The car itself had lots of scratches and the front grate was missing. I went back 2 days later to add my husband as a second driver after he flew in and had to wait another 45 min.

Fox uses old wore out cars.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Car was not even clean or washed between rentals and had no windshield washer fluid. I had to keep stopping and getting a handful of snow to wash the windshield until we could get to an exit with services.

Long wait to pick up
Pros: Car was fine. Missing some trim over rear window but who cares it's a rental car. Price was great. Drop off went smoothly.
Cons: Waited about an hour. Only 5 people in line ahead of me. Lady at the counter tried to sell me an electronic tollike plan for $12 a day claiming some roads don't accept cash. Map of toll roads showed I 70 requires toll to use which isn't true. There are tolls for the express lane but the map made it appear that I 70 was impassable without paying a toll. Windshield washer fluid and wipers were of poor quality.

Denver Car
Pros: The car was low mileage and clean. The staff at pick up were helpful and easy to work with
Cons: The drop off in Aspen had no customer service people for ANY of the rental agencies and was not well marked and confusing. The "drop-box" location was in the arrivals section of the airport rather than the departure section. Very odd. This is more of a negative to the airport than to any one rental agency.

Wrong pick up location
Pros: The price was decent.
Cons: KAYAK must have switched the pick up location from Denver International to downtown Denver. I discovered this the day before I was to travel. Since it was through KAYAK, I was not able to switch the reservation to Denver airport. This caused terrible delays across the board picking up the car, as well as a $50 penalty to drop off at the airport. KAYAK was a total FAIL.

Complained to corporate
Cons: Man said our car wasn't there, we were 15 minutes late so he pushed us out the door, said he had no cars they were out for maintenance despite several cars in the lot. One hour later, we could see the man still in the store across the street from the doughnut shop. Will never use enterprise or kayak for car rental again. We never got a car. We got terrible service. And several days after calling corporate, they still haven't replied. Our entire day was ruined.

Uber/lyft too expensive
Pros: Ride was cheaper than at the airport. They did have the truck I reserved.
Cons: Uber/lyft rides to and from the airport were too expensive to make it worth while. $87 one way, and enterprise said it would be $100 to just drop off the car at the airport. Should have just saved some time by doing that. Or found regular taxi rates.

Refused to rent me my car.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: My drivers license has abbreviated first name because my name is too long for New York State to print it on my license. I had secondary ID in the form of a passport. The woman refused to rent me my vehicle. Refused to put me as a driver on the vehicle when my girlfriend was forced to rent the vehicle. She then tried to sell my girlfriend all this additional insurance that we had already paid for and then instantly took it off when I confronted her about it. She was nasty and unwilling to help. Never again.

Ask for Megan at the S. Broadway store
Pros: There were a couple of timing issues with our vehicle, but sometimes that's the name of the game. In my opinion, issues happen, but it's how you fix them that matters most. Megan is the manager of the S. Broadway store and she was extremely helpful and kind. She did every single thing in her power to get us on the road in a better vehicle than we paid for, at a discounted rate. I appreciated her understanding and overall customer service and it will make me a return customer to her store.

Cons: We reserved a pickup a week in advance. The morning of they called an said they didn't have a pickup but they had a large SUV but when we got there they sent us to another location where they didn't have anything that would work. We were moving out of state an this caused extreme issues.

Good Car, Mediocre Service
Pros: I was on my way pretty quickly. The car was fairly new and it worked very well.
Cons: While I was literally in the middle of going through my information with the clerk, someone walks in the door and he starts taking her information! There was a fairly obvious issue with the bumper of my car that the clerk who helped me did not document on the rental agreement. When I returned the car off to a different location, the clerk who received it took issue with this defect.

Cons: HORRIBLE. Enterprise called me on Friday to confirm that I still wanted my car and continued to talk to me about how lucky I am that my car is ready because there was hail storm Friday that damaged their cars. When I landed Saturday I had a voicemail that said my car was no longer there because of a hail storm that damaged 4,000 of their cars. Two hail in two days seems very very unlikely, especially because no other cars in the surrounding area were damaged and no one else said that there was a hail storm the night before. The other people we spoke with knew nothing of a hail storm. I had to rent a car for TWICE as much because Enterprise had "no cars" I assume they double booked and gave away my reserved card. I am asking Enterprise to make up the difference in what I paid.

Avis Gave Me a Lemon
Pros: Car was clean.
Cons: The car I was given failed to start the morning I needed to take it to an event. I had to call a car service. When I came back to the hotel and called roadside assistance, they wouldn't send me a new car and all the local places where they said I could return it for a new car were closed until the next day. Roadside assistance on the phone hung up on me before the call was over, but they did send someone. They were supposed to come within an hour, but then the notification I had said 1.5 hours. They jump started the car and it worked. I ran it for 45 minutes (the guy said 20 would be fine). The next morning when I went to return it for another car, it was dead again. The battery had clearly been jumped repeatedly, judging by the scratches on it. Great way to spend a vacation!

Pick Up Clarification
Cons: I thought I had secured my reservation for the Denver Airport pick up. After waiting 45 minutes in line I was informed that my pick up was actually in Downtown Denver. The only reason I rented a vehicle on this trip was to avoid the $75.00 cab/Uber fees to get to downtown & back to the airport.

24 Nov. 2015
Pros: Picking up the car, filling out the paperwork was easy, quick.
Cons: On the day of return, we had called to ask if it would be ok that we returned by 1pm when we initially said noon and we were told that would be no problem. We were coming back to Denver from a 3 hour drive in the mountains; however when we arrived at 1:15 pm, we were charged for another full day!!!! The guy helping us was rude and short with us. The manager wasn't around at this time so we called back an hour later, she said she assumed we knew there would be a late charge; why would anyone assume that when being told it is no problem; that is something that should be stated when the question is being asked. Poor customer service, didn't feel taken care of to want to use them again.

pickup location error
Pros: Avis upgraded the car for me
Cons: I searched for cars to rent from the Denver Airport. Kayak found a rate cheaper than anywhere else. What I didn't notice was that it was from a downtown location. Fortunately Avis gave me a rental from the airport. Unfortunately the rate was double what it was from the downtown location.

Slow service, BE CAUTIOUS WHEN RESERVING FOR THE A
Pros: Ultimately, they were able to accommodate me after a reservation error. Shuttle service is prompt and convenient
Cons: I made the reservations on Kayak. I specifically put in Denver Airport for the location, but the "deals" that came up were actually for a different address in downtown Denver. We took the shuttle from the airport to the Avis location and the line was out to the door. After waiting close to an hour in line (which proceeded to extend out the door and into the road about 10 minutes after we got in line) I gave the clerk my name and she said that I did not have a reservation. She looked it up by my reservation number and told me that it was for the downtown location and that it was about a $60 cab ride to get there. She even told me that this happens all the time.. They did get me a vehicle, but it cost me $140 more than what I was expecting to pay.

Car is good but the service is terrible
Pros: The Ford Focus was new, clean, and full of the latest features. It also drives and rides very well. Plenty of oomph to go 75 miles per hour on I-25.
Cons: The rental line was long. The service center was drab. The return was chaotic. The trainee assigned to handle the return did not know what she was supposed to do and there was no one to help her. I never received an email receipt. They also tagged on a fuel charge even though I made sure the tank was full before the car was returned. They did refund the fuel charge after I complained. I won't go back for a long time.

Super service @ AVIS downtown Denver
Pros: Downtown AVIS should not be overlooked when renting a vehicle while visiting the Denver area. They are very friendly and professional, and not too far from the central train stop downtown (walking distance). A train ride between the airport to downtown is only $9 each way.

Cons: Didn't find out until we got to desk that the car we booked did not meet the "traction laws" for Colorado I70! Had to upgrade to an SUV at 250$ increase. Plus the SUV was had dirty windows, bald tires, and smelled like smoke. This will be the last time we rent from Thrifty. Only reason I give it 2 stars was b/c the counter guys "knocked-off" 125$ from the cost...still not worth it

Pros: Car was clean and still had the "new car" feel.
Cons: Always surprised how underpowered "intermediate" cars are. Drove over Loveland and Vail passes and the car stayed around 4,000 RPMs or more until going down hill. Thrifty proudly told me I could select any car in the "intermediate" size row but there was only one car to choose from when I went out to select my car.

agents making fraudulent misrepresentations
Cons: I rented a car from Payless on 2 occasions in Denver airport in April. After I picked up, the 1st time, I noticed that the final charges were substantially higher than what my email confirmation had said. When I called back, I found out that the "road recovery fee" was optional. The agent had not even asked if I wanted this or not; she simply added it to my charges, which increased the total substantially. The agent over the phone rectified the error but it was a hassle having to call. Then, just a few days ago, I rented another car at Payless Denver airport, and the agent this time told me that since I have an int'l. drivers license, I had to pay $15.95 per day more to cover liability, even though I said my credit card covered all insurance. He said it was required; that he could not rent me the car unless I paid. Later, when I called back to speak to a manager at Payless, they said that is not true, and deducted those charges for me. The manager there also told me that the agents receive a commission on total sales so there is an incentive to lie to increase the total amount of the rentals. She also gave me a discount, for my trouble in having to go back in to close out that rental and do a new one, w/ correct charges. That was nice of her but both experiences have left me angry and amazed that Payless employees are routinely fraudulently misrepresenting charges to get a higher total, and more commission. I am thinking about reporting these practices to the CO Attorney General's office, consumer protection division. And I will never rent from Payless again.

Cost more then stated online
Pros: Onine it said my total charge including fees and Sur charges. Then when I got to the counter he said there is a mandatory $15 insurance charge by the state of Colorado. I told him my insurance covers that, he said no it does not and I have to pay. I think it must have been $15 a day which he did not say that because my total charge was $168. Online my total charge was $108. If there was a State law that says we need to pay for insurance that is already covered by my insurance and the credit card I'm paying with, it should be stated before we purchase the car to rent not when we get to the counter.

Cons: What I asked for was a small sedan but received a minivan in place.

The clerk during return was also rude when I tried to ask about it. Overall terrible experience, will not return

Disappointing
Cons: I was overall disappointed with my car rental experience. I received an online quote for my reservation, only to find my total was doubled when I got to Payless due to extra charges and hidden fees. I could have gotten a much better price from a more reputable rental company had I known all the fees that would be added on. I felt swindled the entire time, I did not want the insurance but it ended up getting added on anyways without my knowledge. The agent I worked with was pushing every additional charge on me and it was very overwhelming and I was not being listened to. The car was fine, but not worth the outrageous price. Finally, when it came to returning the car we ended up waiting 20 minutes for a shuttle due to the fact that they only had one running to and from the airport (I saw at least 10 from Avis and Budget go by in that time). Disappointing and unsatisfactory service, I will never rent from Payless again and I suggest no one else does either.

Tarifs falsely advertised
Cons: On pick up the amount charged was three times the advertised amount. $75 in stead of $23 for one day. According to the Payless employee extra insurance charges where obligatory because I was a foreign national. I was forced to choose between accepting the extra charge or taking the shuttle back to the airfield and find an alternative (in bad weather). Also from the employee's reaction to my objections it was very clear that he was quite used to dealing with protesting customers. They are obviously calculating that most people will not take the trouble and accept the extra charge If they even notice at all, because it was only due to my paying attention to the small print-out I was asked to sign, that I noticed the inflated amount. I ended up renting a car with another company. No extra insurance charges for European customers there of course. I payed 45$ all in for a much better car.

When we returned the car, my husband noticed the charges were double. We asked the manager to reverse the extra charges and he refused. It was only when he was told we would dispute the charge with Visa and asked for his name did he back down. Will never rent from Budget again

Poor check out system
Pros: Car was clean and comfortable. Drop off was easy.
Cons: Waiting for over an hour to get the car. Front desk staff and staff getting/delivering cars were not working together - to quote them "we have no idea what happens in there." The line to get a car took forever to get through despite 6 people working at the desk. It seems Budget needs to work on it’s check-in system to make it move faster. Once I got to the front, I had to give all my information to the clerk despite having entered it online. Once all the paperwork was complete (which took about 20 mins) I then waited another 15 mins for him to get me keys. I was then told to go out front and the car would be brought to me. I waited outside for 15 mins and no car was delivered. Meanwhile we watched other people walk directly to their cars and leave. Finally I asked one of the staff outside if someone was getting my car - to which we were told “we don’t know”. Finally someone got a manager for us and even then it took another 10 mins to get the car. I did not want to spend over an hour (80-90 mins) renting a car. We had plans and they were delayed because of this poor check out system. I will not use Budget car rental in Denver again because of this experience.

I was stranded in Denver for 2 hours in the middle of the night
Pros: I like having a plan and being prepared. I planned a leave to care for a family member, I made reservations for a car, I received confirmation and I had one less stress to worry about
Cons: Landing in a different state and having a confirmed reservation renigged because the stipulations regarding the use of a debit card were not made clear. Customer service agents who make it painfully obvious it's not their problem. I'm not an experienced traveler, but it seems like nowadays you need to be your own expert because you can't count on customer service to be the experts, explain, educate or guide you on their product. I don't like that the only reference to using a debit card on the agreement is a vague generic blurb with no details. Overall I don't think it's good customer service to confirm a reservation without verifying that you are going to be able to hold up your end if the deal. If I was not eligible to rent a car from your company you should have verified that before you confirmed I was good to go. A couple of little yes or no radio buttons on the request could save a lot of frustration for future, non experienced travelers. Fortunately I was able to find a different car rental company who was intelligent enough to recognize the human side of the situation, they were very understanding and walked me through every available option until we found a plan that worked for both of us.

Nice Tahoe, just looked like it had not been cleaned on the outside.
Pros: We got a new Tahoe and we didn’t worry about the vehicle for the whole trip.
Cons: When we picked up the Tahoe from Budget it looked like it had been beat by a million bugs. No effort had been mad to clean the front or the windshield. Took all week of washing and rain to get the front windshield so u could look through it and not see dead bugs.

Cons: sales lady behind the counter upsold us to a 4x4 as we explained we're going to the mountains. she said "you'll be send back down the mountain" & "you need a 4x4 up there". The price per day went from 160 to 90, and then to 70 p/d for the upgrade so in total for two days we paid more than 600 for a nissan rogua with awd. shame, i would have preferred renting from hertz for points etc. first, i had read the weather forecast correctly and we never needed 4x4 as the roads were super clean. my reason for the poor rating: the car tires had no thread so for those few parts of mountain road (to and from restaurant etc.) it was a bit sketchy. Point being: they upsold us to a 4x4 for the snow, but the tires were like slicks = not braking power in the mountains. not going back to dollar. jokers. i would have been happier with a small front wheel drive with tires that actually had thread so we could brake safely.

THEY WILL CHARGE YOU MORE THAN THEY SHOULD.
Pros: THEY WILL CHARGE YOU MORE THAN THEY SHOULD. I suppose they got me like the rest of these reviewers. When I asked about tolls (since DIA is surrounded by toll roads) they simply said that I would receive a bill in the mail for the electronic tolls and made no mention of a toll plan or anything of the like. I received a bill in the mail later with my $20 in tolls with an additional $90 'administrative fee.' After several calls and 5 transfers, they lowered the 'administrative fee' to $45. All of that to say, rent here if you would like to be surprised by how much you pay and be treated like you're a pain.

I had not noticed that upon pick up. Also the car was not washed when I got it, but I didn't say anything. I did not have a flat tire or any problem with the car, used only 1/2 tank of gas. I will not pay for the flat tire -- I know nothing about that.

Pros: The service staff at the pick-up office was very helpful and considerate seeing that they had to make the best of a bad situation. The price was cheap compared to all other available rentals and they were the only one that had the van we needed.
Cons: Not sure if it was kayak or EZ car but we made a reservation and EZ car could find no record of the reservation even though they had charged our credit card. So we remade the reservation and were charged again. A month later we are still trying to remove the first charge. The cars to choose from were both very dirty and filled with trash. We chose the one with chocolate smudges over the one that smelled like vomit. The headlights aimed up so we couldn't see the mountain roads at night. The brakes were better at shaking the car than stopping the car.

Never again
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Because I have a California ID, and I was renting in California, they made me buy full coverage for the car, even though I already have my own insurance. This more than doubled the cost of the rental. They also put a 150 mile cap on daily mileage, which means road trips are out of the question. What BS. I regularly rent from Hertz, Fox, and Dollar and they all offer similar rates but don't discriminate against in state renters and don't force you to buy insurance or limit your mileage.

Good Experience
Pros: Shuttle was waiting at the airport when we arrived and promptly took us to get our rental car. The staff was great and after talking to the attendant about where we were going in the mountains he recommended upgrading to an AWD v6 instead of the full size car. Good thing he did because it came in really handy. He also worked to get me as many discounts as he could and since I am only 24 he did as much as he could to work the price to make it affordable. The car was great, nothing fancy but it was new (less then 1500 miles) and clean and never had any issues with it.
Cons: If you book through a third party you can not get any discounts through the rental company. Call and check with them for the price before you book.

Cons: I wish I hadn't had the invoice issue to begin with. The counter staff said if I brought the car back with a full tank my pre-paid fuel fee would be returned, but after I dropped the car off they did not give me a refund until I complained in the feedback form. Communication with this specific rental car location (DIA) was impossible as they were never on the phone.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: They cancelled my reservation 1 hour before scheduled pick up and offered no assistance in finding another car. Horrible experience, being in a city and no vehicle or help. Will never use this company again.

COMPLETE SCAM
Pros: nothing
Cons: Paid in full for my car rental, Hertz rep grabbed my credit card out of my hand and immediately swipped it telling me hes adding a $200 deposit on top of my rental car fee. Walked out with no car rental and am currently fighting Hertz corporate for my money back. Nothing was posted in Kayak about any type of deposit. The entire staff at Hertz was smug, condescending, everything that is wrong with corporate America. I will never use Kayak again.

Requested a car rental from the Denver Airport, but somehow it booked
Pros: I thought I was getting a great price, which I did, but was 40+ miles away from where I thought I was getting a car.
Cons: Required 5 phone calls to cancel everything: 1 - call to Kayak 2 - call to priceline that actually rented the car 3 - call to hertz to cancel the car 4 & 5 - call to insurance to cancel full coverage

Worst customer experience for pickup
Cons: I had the worst car pickup experience of my life. I was in Denver and called the listed pickup location because I was not sure if it was the Hertz at the airport. The person I spoke to confirmed that my car needed to be picked up from their location- 2555 S Broadway & Yale, Denver, CO 80210-5702. I took an Uber there. Once I arrived, they notified me that my car was at a different Hertz location. I asked why and they said "because they didn't have time to pick it up." I asked why when I called they didn't tell me to go straight to that location and they had no response for that. I asked if the other location could dropoff the car or if they could shuttle me over there. I was in a rush as I needed to be somewhere at 5:30pm, it was currently 4:45pm. They said they couldn't drop me off but would order me a Lyft. I sat down and waited 15 minutes. No Lyft arrived, so I asked about it at which point they told me that they forgot to order it. The Lyft finally arrived and drove me 15 minutes to a different Hertz location. I checked in for my SUV and they notified me that the SUV I reserved was on empty and they needed to go drive down the street to fill it up with gas or I could go fill it up with gas at my own expense. They refused to allow me to swap vehicles. At this point it was 5:30pm and I still did not have my car and waited another 30 minutes for them to fill up the car with gas and for me to checkout. Overall, this experience required me to go to 2 locations, wait about an hour and a half to get my car. In total I was over an hour late for my appointment. I travel at least twice a month for work and this was by the far the WORST car rental I have ever experienced. I truly do not think I will feel comfortable renting from Hertz again. Also, their excuse every time for why I could not change my car or pickup a car at the location I was at, was because I had pre-paid with Kayak. This also really makes me question using this service for my future travels as it really made my day more difficult as I had no flexibility. Again, this was a really terrible experience that made me over an hour late for an important appointment.

Near Perfect Experience!
Pros: When I showed up to pick up the rental car, the Hertz agent informed me that I had accidentally booked a car at a different location...oops. Through my panic, she calmly informed me that they could still rent me a car, I would just have to pay a bit more as this location had higher rates. They were very patient and kind throughout the process, and I was happy with my experience
Cons: The extra charges that were tacked on to the original quoted price, although I'm sure this is common among rental companies
5.2 Okay

Wrong location
Cons: I entered Denver International Airport as that was where I was flying into. When I got to the Hertz car rental, I was informed that the reservation was made at a different location about a $60 cab fare away. The car rental ended up costing me almost twice what it was supposed to.

Wrong airport, Smokey car, terrible customer service
Pros: Absolutely nothing.
Cons: I booked a car from the Denver airport. When I arrived, they had booked my car to be picked up FORTY MINUTES AWAY. When I called customer service to see if they would change back to the airport, I was advkcsed I could “call an uber”. The car I rented was not cleaned and had a strong cigarette smoke odor. Finally when I went to return the car on Sunday, THEY WERE CLOSED. Never will rent from hertz or kayak again.

Top tips for hiring a car in Denver

  • Explore all the attractions of Denver in the city or further out, conveniently with a rental car. The Golden Gate Canyon State Park is located about 30 miles from Denver, as are many parks and reserves dotted around the surrounding areas, and discovering them becomes considerably easier with a car. Passionate hikers can even go as far as the Rocky Mountains, about a 2-hour drive from Denver. Denver airport is also quite remote from the city center, so choosing a rental car is beneficial to quickly get to your next destination.
  • Car rentals have pick-up and drop-off points at Denver International Airport, so you can conveniently drive into the city and to a hotel or other accommodation. Shuttles from Jeppesen Terminal located on level 5 go directly to the Car Rental Center, free of charge. There are plenty of car rental services on offer at the airport, including Avis, Hertz or E-Z Rent-A-Car, among less popular ones which may have cheaper deals.
  • As with many bigger cities, Denver tends to clog up during rush hours and navigating a car through the intersections and narrow streets may take some patience and extra concentration. Denver has a reputation of having rather aggressive drivers who don’t always follow the road regulations, however if you allow extra time for each trip and double-check before taking a turn then driving should not be a problem. Pay special attention at big intersections alongside Colorado Boulevard, as they can be confusing and drivers do not always adhere to the right of way.
  • Try to avoid driving during rush hour, usually peaking between 5pm and 6pm on weekdays. Especially the Interstate 70 east-west-bound and the I-25 north-south-bound are regularly congested during peak hours and traffic jam delays can be up to an hour, so especially when you need to catch a plane, leave a significant amount of time. Also remember that the winters in Denver can be cold and provide difficult road conditions. Make sure to drive at reduced speeds and ensure that your rental car has appropriate winter gear.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Denver for $48 or less
  • Book your car hire in Denver at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size car hires in Denver are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average
