Cheap car rentals in Aurora
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aurora
- An ideal place to get cheap car rentals in Aurora is at Aurora Municipal Airport. Enterprise, Budget, and Hertz are among the major Aurora car rentals, with the offices located at the terminal on the right side of the main passenger exit. These car rental companies’ offices located at the Aurora Municipal Airport are among the high-rated. They offer enhanced convenience to customers, particularly those arriving in the city via the airport. Getting a rental car from the airport enhances your flexibility in traveling to your various preferred destinations within and outside the city.
- Knowledge of traffic interruptions is essential when you are looking for cheap car rentals in Aurora. The city is popular for a number of events and festivals, which cause notable interruptions in traffic. For instance, on every first Friday of every month, from February through December (except July), Aurora Downtown opens up a number of venues for art and music for all ages. Food Truck Festival occurring on the First Friday of May, is another popular event in the city. You are likely to remain stuck in a traffic jam on most roads in Aurora when these events are taking place.
- If you are driving your rental car from Aurora Municipal Airport to the city center, you can use three routes. The shortest route is through Bliss Road, where you will cover a distance of 14.2 miles and spend about 24min. If Bliss Road has heavy traffic and you want to avoid you, you can connect to the city center via South Randall Road or West Keslinger Road. If you use the South Randall road, you will cover 15.2 miles and spend about 25min before arriving at the city center. If you use West Keslinger Road, you will cover 17.4 miles in a duration of about 26min.
- Rent a car during your stay in Aurora to benefit from the freedom and flexibility it brings to explore everything on display in your own time. Aurora is plonked next to Denver city, whose center is only a 20-minute car ride away. Hikers and nature lovers can also seize the opportunity to venture out to the Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, which is also only a 20 minutes’ drive to the north.
- Denver International Airport is only 17 miles from Aurora’s center and features several onsite car rental agencies which serve visitors with cars in all shapes and sizes. Complimentary shuttles operate between Jeppesen Terminal and the car rental offices. They leave from and return to Level 5 at island 4. Bear in mind that tolls apply on the E-470, but drivers can get to Aurora via Peña Boulevard.
- Driving in Aurora has a bad reputation with the city ranking as one of the worst cities to drive in, but that should not deter travelers, as good preparation and driving defensively are key aspects for a smooth experience during your stay. Part of the reason why driving in Aurora can be challenging comes down to the weather. With thunderstorms and tornadoes in the summer as well as sleet in the winter, roads can be treacherous, but by adapting speed and slowing down, drivers should face no major problems.
- Aurora has a high population density and during rush hour the roads can face severe congestion. Avoid driving on weekdays from 7 to 9 am and from 5 to 8 pm to evade the worst traffic, and plan ample of time ahead before going to a destination (especially when going to a game or to the airport). In the winter, it is pivotal to check that the car is equipped with winter tires and to drive carefully – especially when headed into the mountains.
- Book your rental car in Aurora at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Premium rental cars in Aurora are around 51% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
Had to make a change to reservation. Removed 1 day from reservation and enterprise jacked up the price over $100 for 3 less days. Terrible company. I will never use enterprise again. Canceled reservation. I was told that a price increase was because of increased demand. They are liars. They don't care about their customers only care about ripping them off.10.0 Wonderful
Chad, Dec 2019
Pros:
Helpful and friendly staff. Kelly kept in touch with me the week before and up to my reservation date. The checkout was quick and easy. The drop-off was after hour and was just as simple. I will continue to use Enterprise as my rental company.Cons:
Honestly, everything went better than I thought it would. Keep up the great work at the Aurora, Co. center on E 6th Ave.Hertz
