Denver airport has multiple pick up locations because we were on the last stop it took us over an hour and twenty three minutes to be exact to be picked up to take us to the car rental location. Maybe try sending a van to each location so that the first stop won’t fill the van each time. It is very cold in the winter to stand with children. We called customer service and we were told that we just had to wait. They could not connect us to the local pickup center for an ETA because, “they do not work on that issue, amend we just needed to wait.”

In Denver, I would definitely visit Union Station. Get a drink and sit in the lobby a while. It's a beautiful space with lots going on. I'd also take a walk down the 16th street mall. There are no cars, so it's very relaxing. Also, walk down Larimer Square. Very quaint with lots of shops and cafés with outdoor seating.

If you are traveling to CO, we would definitely recommend renting a car in Denver. It is an amazing opportunity to see all of the natural beauty that CO has to offer. The Advantage Rental Car facility is extremely convenient, easy to get in and out, and the shuttle bus is prompt on pick up and drop off. The Denver airport has lots of great spots for dining before you go through security, so if you have extra time it is a great place to relax for a quick bite.

Get dropped off at the right terminal. We got dropped off at the wrong one and had a long walk! Check-in and drop off was very smooth. Good food court options and reasonable quality. The vans to take you to parking and rental cars are easy to find just outside the terminal. Friendly helpful staff. Interesting posters and displays too which you can use to while away a few minutes!

Best travel tips regarding car rental: 1. Know that you may end up with a vehicle you really are not happy with - it just seems to go that way. 2. Pack lightly so as not to be disappointed with the storage space of your vehicle. 3. If you rent a midsize car, be careful when driving in the snow/ice. You will slide. Best travel tips for visiting Denver or the surrounding area: 1. You must visit Denver Biscuit Co. They have the best cinnamon roles ever. And the rest of the food is good too. 2. If you are skiing, consider Winter Park. It is a great mountain and not crowded during the week. 3. Visit Frisco - great town with lots of shops and restaurants.

Have your paperwork and Driver ID ready for a smoother process. Listen to the advice of the representative behind the counter -- they know the roads and conditions of the area. Be sure to have a credit card with you in the name of the driver. Get the low cost bumper to bumper no-risk coverage for peace of mind. Be courteous even if stressed -- everyone working there only wants to help you and make the experience more pleasant. Treat the vehicle as if it were your own to ensure the next renter has a safe enjoyable experience.

Remember that there is a second floor for food. We got off the plane and needed a meal but saw all the lines on the first floor were long. But once we checked out upstairs, it opened a lot more options. We were fortunate and the baggage claim was in our terminal, so we didn't have to take a train anywhere. Since lunch took a little longer, they ended up unloading our bags for us and setting them aside. Since there was customer service there, they were eager to help us find our luggage. We got a cart. Then, we found the waiting area for budget and were on our way!

You have to check out Red Rocks amphitheatre if you are staying anywhere near Denver. It as an amazing place to see a concert. It is a stunning outdoor amphitheater with unbeatable acoustics, and an amazing view of the surrounding area wherever you sit. Even if there aren't artists playing you want to see, it is worth going during open visiting hours to check out the venue for free. They also have yoga classes in the amphitheatre some early mornings--check their calendar. You can also do some beautiful easy to moderate hiking around the venue. Highly recommended.

Book your car rental with Holiday Cars for ease. If you are traveling in Denver, definitely take a day and drive up Mount Evans to summit a 14er without having to do any hiking. The views and unique high alpine animals are incredible. Eat at Root Down for some local tastes or if you are in the mood for good Mexican, check out La Loma. For dessert, grab unique homemade ice cream flavors at Little Big Man. Take a day trip to Colorado Springs and the Garden of the Gods. Or take the tram up Pikes Peak.

What a vacation winner! Let’s combine purple mountain majesties . . . HolidayCars.com. . . and . . . Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. Planning the perfect trip requires expertise and coordination. What better way to see the purple mountain majesties of the western slope of Colorado than to fly into Denver and rent a car to explore the Front Range Mountains and cities. My first suggestion is to plan well in advance. Use the internet to find the right price . . . this I found at HolidayCars.com. I never expect all things to work smoothly but I do expect professional help from the chosen company should a snafu arise. When I double checked the finalized car reservation, there was indeed a snafu and HolidaysCars.com took care of it . . . quickly and professionally. Thus, my second suggestion; double check information received well ahead of your intended departure date. I was also prepared for long lines at Budget in Denver . . . Denver being a popular place for Colorado adventurers to begin and knowing the reasonable rental rate available from Budget. I was not disappointed; lines were long. However . . . Budget had many associates behind the checkout counter and the line moved quickly. Budget associates were knowledgeable about rental option add-ons but not pushy if they were declined. Being an already harried passenger after a long flight this speed and professional ism was appreciated. So, my third suggestion; be prepared to be treated professionally by personnel in

Denver is fairly easy to navigate with several freeways and the toll road makes it even easier to bypass much of the congested areas. Rocky Mountain National Park...Many Elk just off the road. We also took pictures of Moose, Mountain Sheep and Deer. Just be alert because they are everywhere. Recommend fishing in many of the streams for some of the best trout in the country. Estes Park is only 2 hours away from Denver and is well worth the drive. Scenic waterfalls abound. Rock Pizza Kitchen in Parker is great. If you need beer, wine or liquor, check out Tipsys' Liquor store...they have every brand you can imagine (Be careful or you could spend hours there just looking. They do give Military discount)

Spend a day or two in the city of Denver and then drive west into nature. The juxtaposition between the natural and built environments offer the opportunity for a well-balanced, fully rounded trip. Go eat at the trendy (and excellent established) restaurants, stay in any number of posh hotels, visit the museums and art galleries, and then go into the woods and walk old established trails that meander through lush trees and beautifully clean rivers, camp at the base of a cascading mountain range, and eat a meal cooked over the crackling roar of a campfire. Don't just take one or the other. It takes this all-encompassing approach to fully understand why visiting Denver is so great.

I am a native of Denver, so there were no surprises. On the night we arrived May 26), there was a snow storm just outside of Denver, leaving a spectacular view the next morning with mountain peaks up to 80/90 miles north and 70 miles south to Pikes peak covered with glistening new pure white snow. These mountain peaks are anywhere from 13,000 to 14,300 (or more) feet in height, so such a view under such conditions is truly memorable.
