As anyone had experience with any rental car companies at the airport? Will need to rent a car and are flying into Denver. Every city has good and bad ones.

We always use National and they are great. Great rates and friendly service can't ask for much more;-)

Not sure about DIA but most places I've been National/Alamo have been the best for the price. There are also many promotional and coupon codes out there and it can make a difference between paying $900 or $300, so plug in as many different numbers as you can to find the best savings.

I've had good experiences with all of them at DIA.

The "best deal" on an given rental time frame is to do your due diligence on-line before you come to Denver. Use every possible discount program option open to you ... an association membership, travel promo, discount coupons, whatever ...

Don't forget to vary the time frame of the rental on the quotes to see if there's a difference. For example, I've needed a car for 3 days, but the 4-day rental was much less money per day and for the total cost. Since a lot of the quotes are for a 24 hour time period day starting from when you actually rent the car ... I've had it work out where if I gave the agent my flight schedules, I would have had a 22 hour rental on my last day and it worked out to be the three day rate. By telling them my preferred time frame, I ran over the 24 hours on my last day and it then became a "4-day" rental, oh, sorry, but you'll have to pay for the full 24 hours even though you need the car for just a few. I just "happened" to get to the airport "early" on my last day in town and dropped the car off a couple of hours early.

You may also find that your arrival day may make a difference. Plan your trip, if you can, to give you a better rate. I've had some "free days" result on business trips around the country when it worked out to arrive a day or two earlier than needed.
