KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aspen

  • Visitors who visit Aspen are advised to choose one of the numerous cheap rental cars in Aspen. The good thing about these cheap Aspen rental cars is that they provide you with the convenience and allows you to experience some of the great outdoor adventures that await them in this amazing place. Before heading out to drive, it is important to know about seatbelt laws that exist in the state of Colorado. In Colorado, the driver and every front seat passenger must be wearing a seatbelt when the vehicle is in operation. In addition to this, every child who is 15 years old or younger needs to be in a seatbelt whether they are in the front or the rear of the vehicle.
  • Before you grab your mobile device and start making calls while you are driving car rentals in Aspen, it is important to know about the laws regarding the use of mobile devices in Colorado. Using mobile devices for regular calls is fine in the state of Colorado. In fact, you can wear headphones in one ear while you make and receive phone calls. Drivers may not however, use their mobile device for any type of text entry, such as sending text messages, emails, or browsing the internet or social media.
  • While many people get behind the wheel of car rentals in Aspen for all of the great skiing and snowboarding destinations one can find in this beautiful part of the world, there are a number of annual events that make a great reason to get behind the wheel of Aspen car rentals. One of the most popular of these events is X Games Aspen that occurs on Aspen's Buttermilk Mountain. This event features hundreds of the most talented winter sports athletes competing for a variety of prizes. Every spring the city of Aspen holds an outdoor music and alternative sports festival called Spring Jam.
  • Whether you intend on staying within the city limits or exploring the surrounding region, car rentals in Aspen are a convenient way to get around. Many nearby attractions are more accessible by car, such as Maroon Bells, a famous mountain peak that is about a 25min drive away. Hiking enthusiasts may also want to go to the North Hunter Creek Trail, which is around a 20min drive from the city center.
  • If you plan on arriving by plane, you can always choose to pick up your Aspen car rental from Aspen/Pitkin County Airport. The rental car desks are conveniently placed next to the baggage claim in the airport’s Arrivals terminal, meaning that you don’t have to grab a shuttle or take a taxi to get here. There are many different companies for you to choose from, with options including Alamo, Budget, and National.
  • Driving in Aspen can be confusing as many of the city’s roads are long and winding, particularly in the more mountainous regions of town. To make navigation easier, you can add a GPS system to car rentals in Aspen. Downtown Aspen is known for having a large number of pedestrians, so you will also want to pay close attention when you are driving in this area, particularly along major roads, such as Main Street.
  • There is one major highway that leads into Aspen, which is Highway 82. This road is known for having high traffic levels, so try to avoid driving on it during rush hour, which is generally between 9am and 10am and 5pm and 6pm. It snows often during winter months, and even if it hasn’t snowed recently, the streets may still be slick. Avoid sudden stops and try to drive slower than normal in order to prevent any skidding. You will also want to make sure that your vehicle has the proper equipment for driving in the winter, such as chains for the tires.
  • Book your rental car in Aspen at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in Aspen

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Aspen?

    An SUV can be a convenient choice for an Aspen car rental, as it will help you drive safely through the mountains in the surrounding region.

Pros:

Perhaps I should have read more carefully. Given the snow conditions, I rented an SUV and must have understood incorrectly as I expected all-wheel or four-wheel drive. I was offered a $150 upsell. Guy walking up next to me got a small all wheel drive which was not offered. Car was outside covered in snow and ice impossible to inspect thoroughly

Cons:

read description carefully

All was fine except the pickup. There were about 6 customers that waited almost an hour for the Budget rep to arrive at the window so we could rent a car. I understand that things were crazy because of the snow, but is snow really that unusual for Aspen? After the Budget rep arrived, he wasn’t rude, but neither was he friendly. I felt more like I was a pain, than a customer.

One way rental from Aspen CO to Bozeman MT. Two day trip. Went awesome. Easy pickup and drop off. And much appreciated being able to upgrade to an all-wheel drive vehicle (nice Bronco Sport) verses 2-wheel drive since I was driving a mountains roads route in January.

The counter people were excellent. We had a flat tire on our car in Glenwood Springs - so this was an emergency, last minute rental. Very stressful. The guy who helped us was extremely understanding and actually upgraded us to an SUV even though he was short cars that Sunday. That turned out to be so helpful since it snowed 9 inches that night. And when we needed car an extra day they let us have it for same daily rate as original sedan booking. Hertz was only company in Aspen that had any cars that weekend. Loved our experience!!

The rental person added an extra $100 to the reservation over what kayak said it would be. Then told us we needed the 4 wheel drive truck he had and said it would only be $100 more. By the end our rental price doubled what kayak said it would be.

Rude front desk woman! She acted as if she really did not want to be working on new year's day. I left my son's water bottle in the car rental and asked if she could flag it down for me. She declined and asked me to fill out a lost and found report. I would have appreciated if she could have just called the staff to see if they found my 2 year old's water bottle.
