KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aspen

  • Whether you intend on staying within the city limits or exploring the surrounding region, car rentals in Aspen are a convenient way to get around. Many nearby attractions are more accessible by car, such as Maroon Bells, a famous mountain peak that is about a 25min drive away. Hiking enthusiasts may also want to go to the North Hunter Creek Trail, which is around a 20min drive from the city center.
  • If you plan on arriving by plane, you can always choose to pick up your Aspen car rental from Aspen/Pitkin County Airport. The rental car desks are conveniently placed next to the baggage claim in the airport’s Arrivals terminal, meaning that you don’t have to grab a shuttle or take a taxi to get here. There are many different companies for you to choose from, with options including Alamo, Budget, and National.
  • Driving in Aspen can be confusing as many of the city’s roads are long and winding, particularly in the more mountainous regions of town. To make navigation easier, you can add a GPS system to car rentals in Aspen. Downtown Aspen is known for having a large number of pedestrians, so you will also want to pay close attention when you are driving in this area, particularly along major roads, such as Main Street.
  • There is one major highway that leads into Aspen, which is Highway 82. This road is known for having high traffic levels, so try to avoid driving on it during rush hour, which is generally between 9am and 10am and 5pm and 6pm. It snows often during winter months, and even if it hasn’t snowed recently, the streets may still be slick. Avoid sudden stops and try to drive slower than normal in order to prevent any skidding. You will also want to make sure that your vehicle has the proper equipment for driving in the winter, such as chains for the tires.
  • Visitors who visit Aspen are advised to choose one of the numerous cheap rental cars in Aspen. The good thing about these cheap Aspen rental cars is that they provide you with the convenience and allows you to experience some of the great outdoor adventures that await them in this amazing place. Before heading out to drive, it is important to know about seatbelt laws that exist in the state of Colorado. In Colorado, the driver and every front seat passenger must be wearing a seatbelt when the vehicle is in operation. In addition to this, every child who is 15 years old or younger needs to be in a seatbelt whether they are in the front or the rear of the vehicle.
  • Before you grab your mobile device and start making calls while you are driving car rentals in Aspen, it is important to know about the laws regarding the use of mobile devices in Colorado. Using mobile devices for regular calls is fine in the state of Colorado. In fact, you can wear headphones in one ear while you make and receive phone calls. Drivers may not however, use their mobile device for any type of text entry, such as sending text messages, emails, or browsing the internet or social media.
  • While many people get behind the wheel of car rentals in Aspen for all of the great skiing and snowboarding destinations one can find in this beautiful part of the world, there are a number of annual events that make a great reason to get behind the wheel of Aspen car rentals. One of the most popular of these events is X Games Aspen that occurs on Aspen's Buttermilk Mountain. This event features hundreds of the most talented winter sports athletes competing for a variety of prizes. Every spring the city of Aspen holds an outdoor music and alternative sports festival called Spring Jam.
  • Book your rental car in Aspen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in Aspen

We reserved something that was ford explorer or similar but given a car that was over 11 inches shorter in length and shape, too small to hold what we had, as the ford explorer size would have. Then, budget charged us 50$ more for a jeep cherokee stating it was a class above an explorer. And charged us 100$ additional upon returning the car for an additional hour even though it took 40 minutes to sort when picking up and we didnt actually pick the car up until pretty close to the time the car was returned.
