Simply follow the signs from the terminal to the hire service desks and start your time in Grand Junction in comfort. Via Horizon Drive, travelers can be in the heart of the city in less than 15 minutes.
  • Grand Junction is famous for the breathtaking scenery and surrounding mountains. Visitors should prepare for driving around in the mountainous region and expect to face any possible weather conditions. Whether rain, snow, sleet, or wet leaves, there is much that can make winding mountain roads slippery and treacherous. Therefore, it is important to adjust your speed and drive attentively and carefully.
  • In winter and summer, tourists can clog up the city to make the most of the natural surroundings, which can increase traffic in Grand Junction. Spring and autumn are the least busy times to visit, and is also when the weather is the most temperate.

They are the worst customer service ever. They said they had a truck online and then when I went to pick it up. They didn’t. And then they did nothing to help me. They suck

The vehicle was supposed to be at an offsite location. I hailed an Uber at the airport and went to the location at around 4pm on 3/3. It was closed, no one alerted me. Cost me $40 to go back to the airport. There were no other rental cars available. We had to hire a Lyft ride to take us from Grand Junction to Aspen.

I was charged an additional $500 for a “one way fee” however no one could explain to me why I was charged. It was not on my original receipt and the worker at the return desk could not explain it. I called customer service and was only refunded $300. No workers could explain why I was charged this fee. I would like an additional $200 refunded for this fee that could not be explained to me.

Cons:

The interior of the vehicle was very dirty. Carpet was NOT vacuumed, dash and surfaces were not wiped down, so I know it was not sanitized. My wife and I had to sanitize the entire vehicle prior to our leaving the lot. This is a very sensitive time and to have a rental vehicle not properly prepared for a guest is disappointing. Had we not been late for an engagement, I would have returned the vehicle and rented elsewhere.

Pros:

The staff was absolutely horrible, I made a reservation online.. when my plane landed.. the car rental place was closed an I had to fine away out of the airport. When I called customer service they told me they couldn't help me and it wasn't their problem.. No when I asked to be transferred to a supervisor she informed me there was no one there to assist me and hung up.. so not only did I not get my rental at all.. but I also had the most rude representative on earth.. very upset!! Wasted a total of 3 hours of my time

Cons:

make sure if you are accepting reservations for rentals.. that someone is actually there to assist the customer.. and bump up your customer service... absolutely appalled.

Pros:

Great car for the price!

Cons:

I guess the low price was the reason the vehicle had so few features (no CarPlay or navigation) seemed to be very base model of Nissan Rogue. Rear window appeared to have been replaced (you could see the places where the window “grips” were when they installed it - and the rear window defrost/defog didn’t work either)

The woman who assisted me with my car pick up was so helpful! She provided a map of the area, drew routes on the map for me, and provided tips for grocery stores, etc. She also permitted me to park in the rental lot when I returned that evening to pick up my sister at the airport.
