Tips for renting a car in Denver

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Denver including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on December 4, 2023.
  • Downtown Denver features an older grid system, which runs from northeast to southwest. When driving car rentals downtown, keep an eye out for pedestrians. Also, keep an eye out for one-way streets and narrow lanes.
  • Denver's main highways are I-21 and I-70. These roads can get bustling, even outside rush hour. However, these roads are well-maintained and simple to drive on. Keep an eye out for signs posted in the far left-hand lanes, as they are often toll roads that cost money to use.
  • Winter in Denver can get harsh and harder to navigate. This is due to snowy and icy roads that are often slippery and dangerous. Therefore, ensure you drive safely by reducing your speed and keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicles before and after you. Also, ensure to equip your Denver car rentals with ice scrapers and non-freezing wiper fluid.
