Sure, you can do Denver without renting a car. But with so much to see and experience here, having one would definitely make your escape a whole lot more fun. If you plan to head out of the city and into some nature, opt for a vehicle with a bit of power. A larger car like an SUV will get you to the area’s alpine meadows in comfort. Rather spend a lot of your time in the city? A small, economical car is a great choice. Driving through narrow streets and squeezing into tiny parking spaces will be a cinch with one of these.

You’ll be glad to know that there’s an impressive variety of luxurious rental vehicles in Denver. What you go with is largely dependent on what you’re willing to spend and what you’re hoping to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer the best in comfort and class. If you want to treat yourself, why not pick an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a slick medium-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you just need a car to zip around town in as cheaply as possible, stick with an economy vehicle (or something else that won’t blow your budget).

It’s relatively easy to find a car space in Denver, although it can be hard to score a spot in the busiest areas. Staying at a hotel that offers on-site parking is always a good idea.

Normally, one of two things will happen. Your chosen rental car company may charge the amount of the fine to your credit card. This is the more common practice. Or it may pass on your contact details to the relevant local authority so the fine is issued straight to you.

It’s not illegal in Denver, but we don’t recommend it. For a safer ride, it’s a good idea to wait until you’ve reached your destination before reaching for your phone.

In Denver, it is against the law to operate a vehicle with a BAC (blood alcohol content) over 0.08%. If you’re in the mood for a few drinks, it’s a good idea to leave your car behind.

Yes it is. But before you turn, you are required to stop the vehicle completely and only move on if the coast is clear.

Although there are a few exceptions, seat belts must be fastened in Colorado.
