Being the largest city in the state of Colorado and also its capital, Denver is a beautiful city with a large population. The atmosphere of this town is warm and friendly and immediately after landing at the Denver Airport, one feels energized to immediately begin taking in all the city has to offer. To allow this, you will need to employ the services of a car rental company.

In Denver, there is a wide variety of car rental companies to choose from - ranging from small local companies with locations just within the state, to large international rental agencies with branches all over the US across quite a number of states. The beauty of this is that you are almost always assured of getting a car for hire any day and at any time with many agencies operating a 24-hour service; particularly those located at the Denver Airport.

Although the legal driving age in the US is 18, as a rule, any renter should be above the age of 21 years and should be the holder of a valid driving license, which he/she should have been in possession of for at least a year. Car hire payments are made via a credit card registered under the renter’s name, with many agencies rejecting cash transactions or any other form of payment. In the case of making an advance booking, a small deposit should be made and a cancellation fee applies if one cancels the booking for one reason or the other.

Generally, the roads here are very well maintained with clear markings and sign boards and so getting around is really no hustle at all. For convenience, however, you may ask your car rental agency to give you a car with GPRS or you could just get a map of the area. Note also, that most rental cars in the US are automatic cars meaning there is no clutch and you do not have the option of switching gears. Be it that you are not conversant with these models; begin by mastering how to operate the rental before diving off anywhere.

While you are in Denver, there is a lot to see and do both within the city and around its environs. Drive to the Denver Art Museum and muse at the large collection or artistic work, or head to the Denver Zoo and marvel at the playful chimpanzees and monkeys. For a relaxed calm environment, drive down to the Elitch Gardens and connect with Mother Nature. Whichever the case, make your visit memorable with a car from one of the car rental agencies.
