Car rental at Denver Intl Airport is recommended if you're in the Denver area for short or long stays. There are several to choose from, directly at the airport and along Peña Blvd. Before you book, check the cancellation policy so you can avoid paying if your plans change, as some may offer perks like free cancellation if done in advance.
When headed to the mountains for camping, glamping, or other outdoor activity, consider renting a vehicle that can handle the terrain.

Was not given a full size vehicle despite booking full size. Vehicle had a warning light on after picking up and I was told my only option was to spend 6 hours driving back through Denver traffic to return for a new rental car. New rental car was even smaller than the original car I was provided with. I was also charged a fee for fuel at $8.99 per gallon even though I returned the car full!

Shuttle times were unacceptable. Had to wait 25-30 minutes each way for a shuttle. The guy at the ticket counter spent way too much time and effort trying to up-sell add-on charges.

Thos company is a bait and switch company. Very displeased. I rented a mid sized suv and paid in full when reserved. When I showed up they said I only paid for a compact suv. No, it was very clear what I rented. I had to pay more than double again to get what I wanted when I picked it up. I paid over 300 dollars when I reserved my car, when I picked it up it was almost another 500 dollars extra. I will never rent from this company again. I will never recommend this company. I will talk bad about this company to anyone looking torrent from fox rentals. Do not use them for anything. You've Been warned.

First, they said that the reservation I made had been cancelled due that I needed to pick up the car at noon. Even do I showed them the reservation where it showed clearly that I had to pick it up at 630pm. Second, because of what I explained earlier the person at the counter gave me a much higher rate than the one I reserved online. When I complained they told me they had no more cars at the rate I had reserved initially. It seems this company is not what you expect and for some reason, they want to charge a different rate than what the client gets online. The person at the counter next to me had the same issue and was upset. Therefore, I would NOT recommend renting from this company.

They overcharged me - basically a bait and switch. Lots of Google reviews say the same thing, and I am sad I didn't listen. I thought paying online would alleviate that since everything is booked and paid off, but I was wrong.

Location was short on vehicles. Employees were working hard to keep wait to a minimum, even giving free upgrades if category reserved wasn't available. Shuttle bus driver was exceptional also - loading all bags so customers could get to the counter quickly and safely. SUV was in great shape with fewer miles than I've seen in rental cars since the pandemic. Excellent overall experience!

Pros:

Car was fine, pick-up and drop were fine. My issue would be with the signage on the buses (on EVERY window of the bus) letting passengers know you are limiting the number of people onboard and requiring all to wear masks to protect us. And then the driver just keeps on letting people board - every seat was taken, people were standing and maskless.

Cons:

Actually complying with the signage

Provided a vehicle that was not clean and did not have working lights. After driving at night we realized that lights on one side of the vehicle were not working. We later learned it’s because they were completely disconnected. Terrifying to discover when you’re driving down a mountain at night through switch backs and have no proper lighting and no knowledge of how to fix it.

I did not get the car I had reserved. I reserved and paid for a standard SUV but instead was given a compact SUV. On top of that I was told at the counter that I was getting an upgrade. Definitely felt that this was very underhanded.

Avis had a huge line of customers and only three individual serving them. We waited between an hour and a half and two hours and then decided to leave and take a Lyft when we realized we probably at least had another hour left to wait. This is Unacceptable.

I tried getting a ride from the airport and as I was walking up to the bus the driver closed the doors I was knocking on the door and they drove away. When I got to Avis they informed me that they couldn’t rent to me because my current license had a hole in it. Even though I showed proof that it was still a valid license on the DMV’s website. And I got charged for insurance on a car I never got.

Disappointed they did not have ANY cars in the class I booked which was compact suv. They do not have Any Toyotas on the lot. Had a TON of Jeep Cherokee vehicles that they tried to "upgrade" me to. I specifically booked a compact suv for gas/mpg purposes. So instead I had to settle for a sedan, which I was not happy about. Also, no where in booking did it say cars can only drive to states that touch/ border Colorado. However, there is a sign at the counter that displays that information as the cars have GPS & you will be fined $500+ if you go beyond those restrictions. That is crucial information customers need to know at the time of booking.
