CaroleJun 2026
If you're renting and planning on traveling in high elevations, get a car with excellent four wheel drive.
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.
EricDec 2024
Toll roads are avoidable; no need to pay unlimited tolls upfront.
GregOct 2024
Make sure the car is up to date with servicing prior to renting it out
CrystalOct 2024
Get a compact suv or car good on gas.
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
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
Verified travelerJan 2024
Go to Enterprise skip going to Ace that would be my tip.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Use google maps and all is easy.
LynneSep 2023
If your in a hurry I don’t recommend them, if your on a leisure trip and have time to wait price was decent
Verified travelerNov 2023
Opt into the toll package they have at car rental. Lots of tolls.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Drive at least speed limit :)
Verified travelerAug 2023

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.

The service during pickup was not good. The customer service representative was very aggressive and tried to get us to buy more insurance through ACE although we purchased additional insurance through Kayak for this rental and told her this. She also tried to get us to buy a policy ($15/day) to cover tolls in Denver and the surrounding area, warning us if we didn't, they'd charge us $50 plus all the tolls. We told her we weren't planning on being in Denver for more than a day and she said 'you're just not getting the math. This will save yo money.' However, we soon discovered toll roads (or express lanes) are completely optional (and rarely save any time) in Colorado. It was very deceptive and she was not friendly. Also, we booked an SUV and the car we got hardly qualified as an SUV and was not great at handling the roads/elevations in Colorado (it was more of a city car). I'll never use ACE again.

I was not allowed to pickup a vehicle as they said it couldn’t be driven out of state. This was never mentioned at time of reservation. We asked for a refund which I have yet to receive and will probably never receive. I would never ever recommend ACE even to an enemy. We had to make a sudden change for Enterprise and they were very helpful and Enterprise even gave us an upgrade. Avoid ACE if at all possible, they may have cheaper rates but the service is horrendous, and they still owe me a refund. Buyer beware read the fine print online always. We originally went through Kayak, which then connected to Expedia, and finally to ACE. ACE and Expedia both have said they can’t give me a refund for services they never provided. I feel robbed and this ruined an already somber trip for a memorial service for family. Thanks for taking our money for nothing you thieves. Never again! Worst rental experience ever, and I’ve even driven a rental years ago from a major chain that had dog hair and urine in the back hatch area. ACE Rental Car is hands down the new winner for number one worst rental experience ever. And I didn’t even touch keys for one of their vehicles because I never picked one up, we asked for our refund in person at time of pickup. Give me my money back you evil people! A good company would make this right. All I’ve gotten is the runaround and rejection emails blaming me or the other company either Expedia or ACE. You need to make your contracts more clear so people know the rental is only allowed to travel within the state rented. I can understand not driving out of the country, but sorry we mentioned we were going out of state, we could have lied and you would have likely tracked us by gps anyway and screwed us over even worse with some stupid hidden fee. Thank you so little for the added stress financially and mentally. I hope you go out of business! The people of Denver don’t need more crime! D O N O T R E N T F R O M A C E
