A monumental city full to the brim with action-packed things to see and do, Denver is an adventure you don’t want to miss out on. As Colorado’s capital and largest city, it is bursting with interesting museums, the famous Denver Zoo, and so much more. Because of this, there truly is something for everyone to enjoy, but make sure you plan your time well, so you get a chance to see it all. Not only that, but with an abundance of natural beauty featuring world-class sights like the Rocky Mountains just outside of the city, we recommend grabbing some wheels and heading out onto the open road to take in the sights and make the most of your trip to this beautiful area.
Due to the sheer size of Denver, it isn’t too difficult to get your hands on a rental car. Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the USA by land area, and it is the host of ten major rental companies for you to choose from. All situated on-site, you have the choice of world-renowned agencies such as Enterprise, Sixt, and Thrifty to name a few. It may be worth doing some research prior to your visit do see what companies have the best deals and vehicles that suit your needs, but don’t worry too much. Because driving is pretty much essential for getting around the city, these agencies know how important their services are, so whoever you choose you can be sure you will be provided the very best service for your trip.
You may want to wait until you’ve settled into your accommodation before you worry about renting a car, and this is fine also. You will find the same host of big-name brands downtown, dotted about all over the city. These will also tend to provide you with cheaper options, especially when pre-booking your vehicles online, so bear this in mind if you’re looking to save a few pennies.
We also recommend finding a local business such as Mile High Car Rental if you’re not too fussed about using an international company. Not only will you be supporting smaller businesses, but you may also find they have a much stronger local knowledge of the area, including the best times and places to visit.
Driving in Denver is a breathtaking experience, with beautiful sights and views both in and out of the city. However, to make sure you are keeping yourself, your passengers, and the people around you safe, please do read up on the rules of the road in Denver and Colorado as a whole. Generally, driving isn’t too difficult, however Colorado is notorious for tricky road conditions in the winter, so if you’re visiting during this time be prepared for ice. Also, make sure to plan your routes carefully, as some of the mountain passes close for the entire winter season and you don’t want to get caught out.
With over 14 pick-up points throughout the city, Hertz is one of the most reliable international car rental agencies you can choose in Denver. They not only provide a wide range of vehicles, fantastic deals, and many benefits, but they are also incredibly helpful when it comes to getting the most out of your trip. By comparison, local car rental agency Mile High Car Rental only have 3 pick-up points located across the city, however they may be able to provide a more bespoke service that is tailored to you and your trip exactly. We recommend looking into what each one has to offer first, as no two trips to Denver are the same, so only then will you be able to find something to suit your needs entirely.
Denver is a fantastic city with so much to see and do, but make sure you save some time to explore the outskirts too. With an abundance of mountains, valleys, and forests flecking the breathtaking landscape, Colorado’s capital is a great base to start from for several exciting road trips that will take you out of the city and into the natural world and beyond.
Only 70 miles from Denver, Colorado Springs is a short but sensational road trip. Here you can find incredible, interesting rock formations to hike between, taking in the jaw-dropping views that come with it. And, once you’ve enjoyed the sights you can head into town to stroll around the local shops and grab a bite to eat at a local restaurant in Old Colorado City.
Or, for a longer trip out, Yellowstone National Park is a world-renowned site of interest for geography with its volcano and geysers, ecology with its bison, wolves, beavers, and bears, and stunning scenery all round.
