KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Durango

  • You can opt to rent a car in Durango for maximum flexibility and convenience, to be able to visit all the amazing tourist attractions located in and outside the city, such as the Purgatory Ski Resort, about a 20min drive from Downtown Durango. Alternatively, car rentals in Durango are a great option for anyone who is not looking into staying in the town but planning on touring the sights in the city itself and the outskirts, such as the Mesa Verde National Park, a little over an hour away from Durango.
  • If you're collecting your car at the airport, Durango-La Plata County Airport is located at the outskirts of the city, 14.7 miles from Durango city center, around a 20min drive. There are a number of Durango car rentals conveniently situated at the Durango-La Plate Airport by the baggage claim area at the Car Rental Center, such as Alamo, Enterprise, Avis, Budget, Hertz, and National, accessible via the airport shuttle. The Animas Air Park Airport-00C also has a shuttle service (Animas Transportation) which is reasonably cheaper than taxis and can be used to reach one of the car rental options available.
  • There are a number of traffic circles in Durango City which function well and are safer than regular intersections. There are, however, a few jaywalkers who opt not to use crosswalks and cyclists who don’t use the appropriate lanes that are intended for them, so motorists should be cautious while driving.
  • Compared to most big cities, Durango’s rush hour is generally short-lived with people staying in traffic between 15 to 20min from around 7am to 8am in the morning and starts again at around 3pm to 5pm when students leave school and people start their journeys home. The main affected areas are usually the intersections on 32nd Street and Main Ave, Highway 550/160, 15th Street, and Main Ave, as well as the arterial roads outside town. If you’re on a schedule or catching a flight, keep these times in mind when planning your route.
  • Medium hire cars in Durango are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average

Couldn’t have been easier, their right in Baggage claim, so there were a couple people in line when I got there, so I grabbed my baggage first, when I was done the had no customers. We gave our credentials, picked the car we were offered (happened to be the make and model we reserved) and the told us where to go to get it, and we were off! Car had minor other damage than the made me aware of, but they had explained what to do, so I took pics, sent them in, and there was no issue when I returned the vehicle at the end of the trip.

I booked a Hyundai Venue or similar Compact SUV, but was offered a Toyota Camry, which is a Sedan. This is a downgrade for us. The manager would not honor the booking contract and forced us to pay for an upgrade ($180) for a compact SUV (Kia Seltos).

Absolutely enjoyed the seamless pickup/ drop off experience that included warm, friendly and informative customer service. Our vehicle was incredibly clean and surprisingly fuel efficient (for a Cadillac suv). Will absolutely be looking to Budget + Kayak for our next adventure!

Had to wait almost 2 hours after our pick up time for our car due to being “detailed”. When the car came out it was filthy. Trash in the glovebox and car was hardly washed and vacuumed. Agent at the counter couldn’t care less about our delay. This location needs some adult supervision to do better.

Only one agent at the airport, extreme long wait time to pick up the car. Took about 1 hour, only 5 group ahead of us. Also our car tire leaked, at drop off time, since there is no agent, we couldn’t pass on that info, so next customer will suffer the same car problem
