Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Aurora 
JohnMar 2025
Ace is a great place to rent a care if you have an extra hour when picking up the car. Dropping off the car works well and goes fast. Also remember proof of insurance.
GregOct 2024
Make sure the car is up to date with servicing prior to renting it out
Verified travelerAug 2024
Mid size SUV. Will easily and comfortably take you into the mountains and on shopping excursions.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Ensure the company you go with is going to provide a vehicle with 4wd and decent tires if you are going into the mountains. Make them sign something to this effect.
JohnMar 2024
The car company will charge you if you take any of the toll roads, so avoid them. Luckily they told me this before we left
Verified travelerFeb 2024
Think carefully about renting with Ace. It can be a great deal or a nightmare if something goes wrong, or your costs triple due to unexpected coverages/options.
EricJan 2024
Plan extra time to get out to the car rental site via shuttle
RussellDec 2023
Allow extra time the location is a few miles from the actual terminals

Opt into the toll package they have at car rental. Lots of tolls.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aurora

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 56% cheaper than other car types, on average

The agent at ACE counter in Denver was very poor. He was more concerned with trying to sell me the toll pass which was a rip off. He didn't go over contract.

There was no option in the booking search function to specify an AWD or 4WD . We were flying into Colorado to go skiing. We got upsold for US$40 per day to an AWD. Really had no choice at that point. The upgraded car was great. We booked through QEED so it was probably more their issue than ACE's

Premium

KAYAK
Typical rug pull experience with these cheaper brands. Booked the premium, wasn’t even offered the premium option when picking up. When I told the desk worker I actually booked the premium, I got a rehearsed “oh, it won’t be ready for another 45 minutes”. No explanation, no apology, just continued checking out with the base model. Shuttle system is dated and very infrequent. We arrived early but still felt like we should have arrived earlier.

I was quoted $86 but was charged $297. The deposit was $400 and I was told when car is returned with no damage all extra charges will be removed to get my quoted price on kayak but it only went down to $297. I have called their office several times but no one is picking up.

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.
