Great experience with Alamo at Denver International Airport I booked a midsize AWD SUV in advance and used Alamo's Skip the Counter option, which made pickup very easy. After taking the shuttle to the rental facility, an employee checked my confirmation and directed me straight to the vehicle selection area. My phone wouldn't connect properly to the midsize SUV I had selected, so Larry kindly provided a complimentary upgrade to a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox AWD at no additional cost. The vehicle was clean, in excellent condition, had low mileage, and delivered impressive fuel economy throughout my 7-day trip. The AWD came in handy during a sudden mountain rainstorm and while driving the scenic Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. The vehicle performed flawlessly. While summer pricing was higher than off-season rates, my research showed AWD SUVs are in high demand in Colorado during peak travel season, so the pricing seemed consistent with market demand. Returning the vehicle was quick and straightforward, with clear signage and a friendly attendant. Overall, another smooth rental experience with Alamo. I've rented from them in several states and have consistently received great service and reliable vehicles. Highly recommended. read more

This is a tough one. Everything went great until we left Alamo. The final check point too so long. But all else went perfectly and I will give it 3 stars. All together...it was OK. The counter person was very friendly and easy to talk with. I have attempted to find the name of the person who helped us, but I can't locate it. It was 7/8...11:37. Far left person was great. We rented the car for 5 days, and the Camry rode perfectlty. Thank You Costco for assisting me on this trip. read more

Alamo Rent A Car - Line leaving...at least 15-20 minutes - Car Rental Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Lately Alamo is my to-go car rental choice. Other companies are cheaper but they don't offer the same great service as Alamo. The skip the counter option is the quickest way to get to one's car. Plus I like I can select a vehicle from the many on the lot. Other car rental agencies don't always provide that option. My vehicle's interior was super clean. Thankfully the windshield wipers were in great shape for it rained a few days. Upon returning the vehicle I was shocked and impressed that the customer service agent asked if anything could have been done better. Nope, just keep up the great work. read more

Checking into the Alamo is a little bit rougher than checking out. When returning out the car, just tell the attendants there and they'll tell you to leave the key in the car. After that, you can literally hop onto the bus to the airport within seconds. (5 minute shuttle ride) I STRONGLY encourage folks to use the electronic kiosks if possible, you'll save 45 minutes of waiting. However if your driver license's magnetic strip is damaged, you'll have to go into the Long lines. Just make sure you take pictures of the cars exterior since you're in Colorado and it's pretty common for the cars to have dings and scratches. If you need an AWD for exploring mountain terrain, reserve those EARLY! Those cars go quick and there at even signs at the area warning of limited AWD cars. read more

Our flight arrived late and we took the shuttle to pickup our F150. The agent at the counter, Carleen was so nice. Great attitude! Super efficient & helpful. Fast forward to when we returned the truck. We got out, took our luggage and were done. The whole process was quick and easy. Definitely what you want when it's time to go home! The younglady who greeted us at the return has a great smile. She asked how it all went which showed me Alamo cares read more

Completely different experience than I had at Budget (0 stars if I could have)! Every employee we came in contact with at Alamo was helpful and friendly. We arrived after 1am - no line. Once we were checked in, we were shown which vehicles were available to choose from and we were on our way. Drop off was just as easy, quick shuttle back to the airport. Alamo will be my go to rental company when I'm visiting Denver. Thank you for a great experience! read more

I would first and foremost give a major shout out to Jackson!! He helped me out big time especially as a disabled veteran. His customer service was exceptional, I hope the company awards him for his kindness and service read more

Get a printed receipt! Alamo erroneously claimed that I returned the car two days late and billed me for it. The car was returned on the scheduled return date. After three calls to customer service over two days about emails from Alamo stating that the car is overdue, the customer-service representative in Denver noted that the car had not been "logged in." Within an hour, I received a bill stating that the car had just been returned with the extra two days of rental charged to my credit card. Ugh... more calls to customer service... read more

After dealing with a headache from Avis we came to Alamo and it was better. Thank goddess ! The representative we dealt with was amazing. So kind and nice. It was 11:30pm-12am and a long day of travel, so thank you. read more

This was my very first car rental experience, and I must say it was smooth and easy. It's daunting to rent a car in another state...but Alamo made it easy. This place was highly recommended by Expedia (which I used to book), and if I am ever in the Denver area again, I will certainly look to rent a car from here. The process was super easy. I booked my reservation online two days before my trip, and had my registration ready to go upon landing. Once you exit the airport, you find a clearly-labeled shuttle that takes you to the rental car area. Upon entering the building, I needed to wait online because it was my first time renting a car from Alamo, but in the future I could use the express check-in. The person behind the front desk was kind and informative, and answered all my questions with patience and understanding. Within minutes, we were able to grab a car and hit the road. The car was clean and in great shape. Checking out was even easier. Even though we arrived at the airport at 4am, there were several employees to help us grab our things and head to the actual airport. We took another shuttle (yet again) back to the airport and were on our merry way. Seriously, this is a seamless system that had me impressed. My one tiny gripe is that we were charged for tolls after our trip, but in their defense I did not inquire about a toll pass. I will for sure use this service if I ever find myself in the Denver area! read more

Alamo is the ONLY place I'll rent from. I rented a car for a road trip, and a battery system light came on. Manager Hannah swapped out the car and upgraded me immediately for the inconvenience. Connor helped unload the vehicle I was returning. They were both so professional, kind and accommodating. Kahlia at the counter was fast and friendly, and manager Mirela went above and beyond to help me find a lost item. The car was clean. The trip was wonderful. Thank you, Alamo, for changing how I feel about renting a car! read more

We rented a full size SUV in Denver and drove 3 hours to our rental cabin for the week. We noticed no issues on the drive but when we drove it mid-week to another destination, the AC was not working and it was 90° out and the check engine light and multiple other lights came on. We emailed Alamo customer service and they were very responsive. To our happy surprise, we received great customer service and by the next day they had arranged for a new vehicle same model to be delivered to us three hours outside of Denver. Considering the driver picked up the SUV in Denver and drove it on a flatbed three hours. I'm sure they lost money on our deal. However, their customer service and honoring our rental agreement to ensure we had a reliable SUV has earned some loyalty from our family! No additional charges. Will use them again! read more

Easy car rental process, with friendly staff, and all types of cars to rent. They offer a variety of vehicles such as compact cars, trucks, SUV's, and more! Highly recommend! read more

The bus was waiting for us at island 4 at the Denver airport where Enterprise and Alamo share the same bus. Staff was efficient and friendly at this location. Husband uses the slip the counter and go directly to car which is extremely convenient. He had a bar code to scan when leaving. We skipped the counter and walked through door 2 where the cars are located and a staff member kindly directly us to a Jeep that only had 2,000 miles, perfect for our skiing needs. My husband found a small ding on the car and the staff member checking us out told us how to take care of it when we returned. I liked the festive Christmas sweater of the staff member which brought extra cheer. We also took a picture so that they could verify it was there before we rented the car. It was effortless and easy to get the family going in a rental car from Alamo. read more

Opted to pay for the toll pass. The man at the counter said with the toll pass, I could use toll roads. I did so. A week later, Alamo hit me with a $67 toll bill. I called about this to say I had bought the toll pass. They shifted me around on the phone. Finally, I was sent to another department altogether, for just tolls. There, I was told that even with the toll pass, I still had to pay for the tolls and that what I bought when getting the toll pass was for the "service." Needless to say, I was furious, since I would not have used toll roads if I had been told I was just paying for the toll pass "service." I still don't understand what that service is. Do not use Alamo's toll passes. It is a scam. BTW, Alamo, National, and Enterprise are all linked together, so you will be scammed the same way. read more

We hadn't used Alamo in many years before prior bad experience, but this time they were amazingly efficient & the car we rented was clean & well maintained. We opted to do self check-in & skipped going to the counter. It was so easy! Walked to door "2", per online instruction, greeted by a staff member, who checked the barcode on my phone & walked me to the row of AWD SUV's to choose from. All cars were freshly washed & the keys were in the car. We picked one the drove up to the gate, got the barcode scanned again, DL checked, then off we went! The return was also super easy! A staff member scanned the barcode on windshield, asked me to leave the key on dashboard, emailed the receipt, then directed me to the shuttle to go to the airport terminal. Easy peasy, no long lines or long waits. read more

Yes please~! Reasonable rates, quick service, AND you don't even have to engage with people to get your car if that's your vibe~! Easy check-in through the portal or app, easy bus ride from the terminals with clear communication as to which stop is yours. Vehicles are always clean and ready - while exceeding your expectations of what you would think a rental car entails. These guys are writing the rules of how to be the best~! read more

This is pretty crazy in Denver, 4 people working a desk for 80 people, super long line, I would have paid extra to rent somewhere else if I had known this, and then they have a misleading sign that says skip the counter but it's false advertising. I highly do not recommend. Alamo knows the flight schedule and they know how many people are coming in for bookings but yet with 12 stations there is 4 people processing this very long line. Absolutely ridiculous. I'll be considering this experience next time I need a rental car read more

I strongly recommend that you do not check in at front desk (Denver airport). I've never seen check in take so long. Literally been in line for almost 30 minutes and only had 5 people in front of me. The staff behind the counter are rude and could care less about timing. Rented through Costco, and will NEVER be renting from Alamo again. What a nightmare. read more

Absolutely terrible experience with this rental company. We returned our rental vehicle without any issues being mentioned at drop-off, and then a day later we suddenly received an email accusing us of being responsible for "hail damage" to the vehicle -- with no evidence provided whatsoever. What makes this even more concerning is that the major hail storm in the Denver area occurred days BEFORE we even took possession of the vehicle. During our stay, the vehicle remained parked at our resort location where there were no hail events. Instead of properly documenting and inspecting their vehicles before renting them out, it feels like this company is attempting to push pre-existing damage onto customers after the fact. Being accused of damaging a rental car without proof is extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I strongly recommend that anyone renting from this company take detailed photos and videos of every inch of the vehicle before leaving the lot and again at return, because apparently customers can later be blamed for damage they did not cause. Very disappointed with the way this situation has been handled. read more

We rented a car from Alamo for 3 days on a recent trip to the Denver Airport. The Alamo shuttle to and from the airport and the whole process went pretty smoothly. I would do it again! read more

My second time renting from here within 3 weeks . Out of all rental companies I find Alamo and Hertz to be the easiest and best; honestly!!! The shuttle bus took everyone from the airport directly to Alamo. Upon entry of the building I was in and out as, Leslie only looked at my ID, since I signed up as an accelerated customer and also skip the counter participate. The only reason that, I didn't skip the counter and went directly to Leslie was because I had questions for her, related to upgrades. Turns out that, it didn't matter because they allowed me to pick any vehicle on the lot. I just wanted to get a good gas saver SUV, so I picked the VOLKSWAGEN SUV. I got in and out within minuets. Thanks for your awesome customer service to Leslie and Mickayla... and then, we have the awesome MICHAEL who approached me at my chosen vehicle. Mivhael and i had good laughs about my comments about the vehicles... he was like, "you're very smart" as I discussed things related to the vehicle that most humans wouldn't know. He's definitely the hilarious and fun coworker of the group! Hi dude! This guy was hilarious and professional. We could all use a good laugh early in the morning. Upon my return, Mickayla was awesome...I always request a walk thru of the vehicles at drop off to avoid any drama later. I was like, "come look girl, and I filled him up" Look... I want you to see everything!!! Anyway, they all deserve raises and a Month off with pay for being EXCELLENT!!! This was the easiest experience that I've ever had renting a vehicle and I've rented a ton during my travels in the past but, have never had this great of an experience! Usually, rental companies don't allow for you to pick any VEHICLE on the lot but, INSTEAD they only allow for you to pick any vehicle from a selection of vehicles, or they don't have vehicles ready. This was AWESOME ! Thanks guys read more

This was a vehicle prep problem. We didn't notice it till we hit our hotel but the rear passenger floor had standing water. We had thrown a backpack there and upon arrival the bag was soaking. We had to find a laundry mat in downtown Denver to wash some clothes. I then proceeded to spend the next 3 days using hotel towels to soak up the water and mitigate the awful mildew smell with fabreez. It's was like a HS footlocker in there. It's was so bad I developed an allergy to the smell. After three days of wringing out many wet towels and the floor mats I gave up. We returned the car back to Alamo. read more

We had a terrible experience with our rental car from Denver International which put my entire family in danger. We drove off the lot in a RAV4 which is what we drive at home so we were excited that there wouldn't be a learning curve with figuring out how the vehicle works. The maintenance light was on but as RAV4 drivers, we know that can often mean that an oil change is needed soon and assumed if Alamo had it on the lot it was safe to drive and we were set to go. About 30 miles into our drive, the vehicle had a complete mechanical malfunction on the highway. The power steering, power breaking, airbags, and just about every other electrical component of the car failed while we were on a major highway with my 5 and 9 year old in the back seat. It was an absolutely terrifying experience. I will say that customer service and roadside assistance were attentive and have since been apologetic however tow truck times were 3 hours and while an uber was offered to get us into a new rental, none were available. Once we made it to the closest rental location, they did not have any SUVs available with all wheel drive even though I had been assured we would be able to get into an equal vehicle. I continue to work with Alamo to try and resolve this issue but I am still in shock that this experience actually happened after specifically choosing Alamo due to the reviews and "reliability" reported from other customers. read more

I have used Alamo twice and it's been nothing but troubles. long waits, issues with customer service and good luck speaking to anyone that can do anything but answer the phone and say they can't help. hoping this keeps at least one person from dealing with this headache of a company. read more

Alamo Rent A Car - Alamo rentals - Car Rental Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We rented a car with car seat from here beginning 11/9/25. My wife did the pre check in after scanning the code on the shuttle from the airport to the rental lot. We were met by Tony who was very attentive to my wife's requests for a car that met her preferences. He quickly offered solutions without hesitation and we were very grateful for his assistance. Bringing the car back was also a breeze and everyone was so helpful then too. We will definitely use Alamo when visiting the area in the future. read more

It was easy to reserve a vehicle on line. Prices were equal and in many cases cheaper than a couple of competitors. I have a membership, so an automatic discount applies when ever I reserve a vehicle. Check In and updates wee easy to handle with a phone app. At the Denver airport location, the shuttle to the rental lot is located outside the baggage claim area. The family did not had to wait, the shuttle was there. With check in on the phone app, I skipped the counter. We just picked a vehicle from the designated area and drove to exit. The exit attendant checked my drivers license and my confirmation on my phone app, off we go. It was easy to return the vehicle, I dropped and walked away. A receipt was e-mailed to me. There were several shuttles ready to take customers to the airport. Employees were helpful. read more

Probably my easiest experience renting a car. I booked a car ahead of time using the app and utilized the "skip the line" option. This proved to be easy since all I had to do was walk in, say my name, and they took me to my car options. I literally chose my car, hopped in and left. There is a shuttle to and from the airport to each car rental service from the terminals. Returning the vehicle was just as easy. Answered a few questions and I was in my way. Price was better than enterprise and Turo which I why I tried Alamo. I'd definitely rent from this location again. Car was spotless when I received it. read more

It was our first family trip to Denver and I had a tough week so I was tired and had little patience, thus I was dreading the car rental experience. However, renting and returning the car turned out to be a breeze. Shuttle (National/Alamo) to and from the Denver Airport was convenient. Bus driver was kind enough to help us with the bags. Anthony helped me at the counter. His service was friendly and speedy. I did not at all feel pressured to pay and opt in to additional add-ons. He explained everything on the screens while keeping the process brief and quick. He also gave us the heads up about fees for toll roads. I had reserved a full size sedan but they ran out at the end of the day after our flight has been delayed, so we ended up with Chey Equinox. Car return was also speedy. Staff checked over the car and gave us the greenlight to go. What a positive experience! I'm glad I went with Alamo and would choose them again next time. read more

Alamo in Denver is always the very best choice. They are courteous, efficient and honest. The renting process was very simple and fast. The same was true for the return of the vehicle. The vehicle we rented was in top condition and got very good gasoline mileage. read more

"Alamo" - The Underachievers I always book through Costco and almost always choose Alamo, since I've always been lucky with Alamo, and we got lucky again at Denver airport. Claudia at the counter was very helpful and friendly. We got to upgrade our car to all wheel drive since we were going into the mountainous area and there was snow on the ground. The upgrade was only a $125 more (w/o tax) and it was a good deal. If Claudia didn't give us information on the snow and the upgrade, I am not sure we could not have driven to Divide, Colorado, to the Wolf Sanctuary, or it would have been way more sketchier trying to drive on black ice. Linda helped us get to our car. We had a large choice of cars. I hate leather seats but my husband hated Nissan, so we ended up with a Jeep 4x4 and I must say, for a mini-SUV that was the most smallest SUV I've been in. I'm a short person and my knees were up against the glove compartment. I had to push the seat up because my son was cramped in the back. One full-sized luggage and three carry-ons filled up the trunk. Our backpacks had to go into the back seat since the trunk was so small. My son used our backpacks like pillows during the long-haul. After we drove off the lot, we saw scratches on our car we didn't see in the shade. We called immediately and the lady on the phone was very nice. She said it was OK, I didn't need to drive back to the airport, that was awesome. Draymon (?) at the car return was super nice and pleasant as well, it was a nice end to our rental-car journey. The shuttles run frequently and often. Alamo is the Way To Go! read more

Wow! We were thrilled from start to finish with Alamo! I decided to try skip the desk in advance e-check in and it was so easy. You walk right out to the parking lot and the guy said, "you can choose any car in this row. The keys are inside." He then gave suggestions on roominess vs good gas mileage. We chose the Volkswagen SUV which had the best fuel efficiency. It was such a smooth ride and we drove comfortably all over Colorado. The return was just as pleasant and efficient. We dropped the car off and were immediately checked out and on the shuttle to return back to the airport. Everyone at Alamo was so friendly! Thanks for a great experience! read more

Desi at the front desk was amazing He was so kind and efficient, making the entire check-in process quick and stress-free. After a long travel day, his friendly attitude and attention to detail made such a difference. Great customer service- thank you, Desi, for starting our trip off on such a positive note read more

Excellent customer service and the lady who assisted me had a great demeanor. Definitely will be renting again from Alamo on next trip.

I'm not sure if the lady at the counter was having a bad day, but when I asked if they offered military rates or discounts, as many corporations usually do--she responded, "Well, it's like asking me if Sam's or Costco has discounts. I don't know any of that." It came across as unprofessional and unhelpful. Never had anyone tell me anything like that when asking for rates. read more

Still waiting to get my rental car nearly a month later. When talking to them to try to get it sorted they just lie to me to get me to go away and just continue to screw me over. Update to Lisa I have reached out to customer service a plethora of times with my rental information and you continue to lie to me repeatedly. Lying saying you did not cancel my reservation and how its impossible for you to cancel it on your end. If you want to make it right reach out to me otherwise your company is lying scum. read more

The blonde 20-something manager at the Denver airport location needs to be sent to basic customer service training. I booked through Expedia but completed Skip The Line check-in directly on Alamo's website. I was in my car at the exit gate and was advised that there was a $400 deposit required at this location, on top of the car rental fee, unless I had a return flight. I told the gate agent that I did have a return flight in 4 hours, as this rental car was just to pick up my son an hour away and return to the airport for a trip together. The gate agent contacted the manager and she said that didn't matter so they directed me back to their main desk where the manager would meet me. I explained to my situation but it was as if she already decided she wasn't going to try to help me. I advised that even though I had booked this on Expedia, I was directed to Alamo's website to complete. Check the line check in. It was not disclosed on this page that there would be a $400 deposit. I offered to split it between two credit cards, to use cash, or to use a debit card and was told that there was nothing that she could do or she would lose her job. I asked her to tell me the quickest way to obtain another car rental and she told me that she worked for Alamo and didn't know anything about the other car companies. It was not what she said but how she said it in a snarky and rude tone. I would expect better from manager at one of the largest international airports in the country. Due to being on a time constraint, I contacted my son to see if it was possible for him to get a ride to the airport. Fortunately, he was able to arrange a ride on short notice. I would recommend that the specific deposit amount be clearly called out in bold at the time of the booking or payment for the booking. I certainly would have prepared if I had known that there was $400 available on top of the cost of this $60 rent a car. I would give zero stars to the manager if possible. The employee who initially directed me to my vehicle was friendly, as was the gate agent. As a customer service manager myself, I would use my job if I ever treated a patient/customer the way that this manager treated me. read more
