Cindy W.

This is by far one of the most efficient and friendly car rental places in all of the traveling that I have done domestically and internationally. Our initial reservation at Hertz (down the street) was cancelled by the manager there after waiting for 35 mins to find out the electric car that we reserved was not available. Luckily, I was able to quickly reserve another vehicle on the Avis app before I even reached the rental shop. We got the car within 5 mins of handing over my license and were out of the lot within 10 mins. The car was brand new, clean, and reliable. We were able to enjoy the weekend by visiting surrounding areas. After hour drop offs were very convenient and allowed us to avoid looking for parking while staying in CBD. This is where I will be renting cars going forward when I am in Denver.

Angry people that will never return

2 hours and we are still waiting in line. Reservations mean nothing. There are 6 employees. 10 booths are closed and there are no kiosk active. The line starts outside in the rain.

Avis Counter in downtown Denver

Bottom Line: Friendly service but our car stunk! While visiting Denver my husband and I wanted to rent a car for a Sunday to go out to Golden. Since I am a very regular renter with Avis I decided to get the car from the downtown Avis. I was able to rent the car through the Avis app and then when I showed up on rental day the lady working was very nice and hustling. I think it was just her and one other gentlemen working to get through what seemed like a steady queue of reservations. So pick up, and return was easy. Buuuut, our car smelled so bad! I really can't decide if it smelled like human feces or a papermill. Either way, we rode with the windows down. If we were going a longer distance then we would have definitely had to exchange it.

"Damage" to floor mat

We had the same experience as Kathy W (review 9/2/2024). Avis at Denver Airport charged us $250 after a 2 day rental to remove salt granules from parking lots (it was about to snow). Material could have been shaken off the floor mats in seconds. When we checked in, nothing was said about the condition of the car. We appealed the charge but the response was that we needed to bring the car back in the same condition we took it. So do we need to vacuum and use a car wash before returning a rental car? So much for #wetryharder

Avis sign inside. Nice sign!

I was happy to be able to rent a car immediately. My only issue was the customer service rep asking me nosey questions. Maybe she was bored.

I had to raise it to customer service to get my ~$160 credited to payment. Customer service was helpful enough but still not impressed. Car was clean and checkout staff were nice though.

They told me Colorado law required the damage waiver. It doesn't…read more The Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) -- $34.99/day, covers damage to Fox's own vehicle -- is optional. Fox's agreement says so on page 1. It's not liability insurance and has nothing to do with Colorado's minimum coverage rules. The counter agent told me state law required it before he'd release the car. I'd arrived at midnight with a three-year-old, so I signed. $139.96 for four days. Europcar's customer care later confirmed in writing that counter insurance isn't legally required in Denver. Still refused the refund, because I signed. The receipt lists the charge under "CO ROAD SAFETY FEE." If you have auto insurance or a card with rental collision coverage, you probably don't need LDW. Ask if each add-on is optional and make them point to it in the agreement. Why this is the winning combo: It leads with the outrage (the lie), immediately explains the facts (the waiver), provides the proof (the receipt and Europcar's admission), and ends with clear advice for the next customer.

Great experience with Alamo at Denver International Airport…read more 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.

This is a tough one. Everything went great until we left Alamo. The final check point too so long…read more 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.

During a recent visit -- and, importantly, this was days after major June storms had come through the area -- we rented a vehicle that had minor dents in the hood. It was raining slightly the night of the rental, so we couldn't see any issues clearly with a very wet vehicle. The remaining days were sunny, with perfect weather and we had no issues whatsoever with the vehicle. Upon return, an associated walked up to the car and begin evaluating damage without any acknowledgement. Then she claimed there was new hail damage and I needed to fill out an incident report. I indicated that there was no hail whatsoever during the sunny days of travel and, furthermore, I had coverage for damage and didn't need to fill out an incident report. She pressed the issue and got assertive in the process. I refused to sign and asked to speak with someone else given her lack of professionalism and clear lack of knowledge about the company's own policies. I explained the same to the manager who took the time to actually look up my record to see that I, indeed, had full coverage, did not need to fill out any incident report and was clear to go. Thankful for him, but highly disappointed in the experience with the earlier agent. So, yes, get the coverage. Know the policies. Take the photos for evidence.

This was just about the strangest experience I've ever had with a car rental…read more I reserved a car from Payless online and received a confirmation email. So far, so good. We got to the airport, found the designated spot for the Payless shuttle, and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. At this point, we figured something was probably wrong. I called the Payless phone number listed in the confirmation email. The call didn't go unanswered--it didn't seem to go anywhere. It was as if the number simply wasn't a phone number. Uh oh. Had we been scammed? We eventually approached another rental-car shuttle driver and asked if they could take us to Payless. They suggested we take the Avis shuttle instead and talk to them. So we did. And here's where things get weird: Avis honored our Payless reservation and gave us the car we had reserved. So...what exactly is happening here? I honestly have no idea. It appears that Payless may no longer be functioning at this location, while Avis is somehow handling its business. If that's the case, you'd think Payless might mention this somewhere--perhaps in the confirmation email, on the website, or via the phone number that apparently isn't a phone number. To be fair, the people at Avis were fantastic. They sorted everything out and got us on our way. But there were approximately seventeen different points along the way where this could have gone badly. So, can you give three stars to a business that may or may not still exist? Anyway, if you have a Payless rental, good luck! And if you can figure out what exactly is going on with Payless and Avis, you are considerably smarter than I am.

You know what you can improve... Read your reviews and hire more agents. Why do they have 20 kiosks…read moreif there's only two agents. Seriously they have 2 agents working and 35 people in line? This is going to be a three hour process. What is this? The only reason I booked is because everybody else was sold out. I wish I could cancel, but because I booked through Priceline, it's nonrefundable and they don't allow that. I will never book with Payless again. Grade F Everyone in this line is fuming. Yes, I would like to leave a review.
