KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gunnison

  • If you love discovering new destinations at your pace, consider renting a car at one of the cheap car rentals in Gunnison. With your rented car, you will be able to drive conveniently to major attractions around the city. Gunnison National Forest and Gunnison Pioneer Museum are some amazing destinations you can easily visit with your rental car. In Gunnison National Forest, located approximately 26 miles from the city center, you can go fishing at the Gunnison River or take to the trails and experience nature in an up close and candid manner. Other destinations near Gunnison that are worth exploring include the Curecanti National Recreation Center which is located approximately 16 miles from the city center and Pine Creek.
  • Located approximately 4 miles from the Gunnison city center, Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport is the closest major airport to this Midwest city. You can easily rent your desired car rentals in Gunnison upon arriving at the airport as long as you are 18 and has the necessary documents. Better still, you can book your car online and pick it up upon arrival. This airport is home to several local and international car rental agencies like Avis, National, Sixt, Sunnycars, Hertz and Budget among others. Given that these car rentals in Gunnison have their desks within the airport, you will not need ground transportation to their offices.
  • Driving around Gunnison is relatively easy thanks to the wide and properly tarmacked roads. However, driving within the city center can be a little bit troublesome, especially during peak times when both vehicle and human traffic is high. While driving around the city center, be sure to pay attention to pedestrians and cyclists. Pay attention when approaching intersections too.
  • It is not uncommon for some streets to experience heavy snarl-up, especially during rush hours. Congestion can worsen in downtown areas. I-76 westbound can be particularly busy during rush hours. Rush hour traffic usually picks up in the morning from around 7am to 9am and again in the evening from 5pm to 7pm.
  • Book your car hire in Gunnison at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Gunnison are around 62% cheaper than other car types, on average

These vehicles can easily squeeze within the limited parking spaces available within the city center as well as the downtown area. Besides, compact vehicles are convenient for navigating Gunnison’s narrow streets. However, if you intend to travel around the city outskirts and far-flung areas, then getting an economy rental would make a lot of sense. And if you are coming to Gunnison with a family or on a group tour, then consider getting an SUV Gunnison car rentals. Gunnison experiences significant snow during winter months.

And once you get to the interstate or expressway, you can drive at up to 60 mph. However, do pay attention to the road conditions and adjust your speed prudently. As a general rule, avoid high speeds when the roads are slippery due to rain or ice.

  • Where are the best places to park in Gunnison?

    Finding parking in Gunnison city center can be a challenge thanks to the limited number of available parking lots. That said, you can try your luck in Downtown Gunnison where you are likely to find several metered parking. For instance, 900 N St Parking, Palisades Senior RV Park, Jorgensen Park and West Tomichi River Park offer some of the cheapest parking lots in the city.

Cons:

Kayak has earned my business for many years by making sure the quoted price wa accurate and incl all costs. I was quoted $367 for my car, received a Priceline confirmation at that price, but my rental agreement upon picking up the car was $441. After spending hours calling and getting the runaround on auto attendants and live support people who always blamed me or one of the other two parties (kayak, Priceline, Budget) I have no choice but to dispute the charges and never use Kayak or any other pricing engine. I’ll pay more to go direct.

Cons:

The car we were given was an "upgrade" but it was a larger car that was very underpowered for climbing mountain passes which decreased the mpg. Also, the inside windows were so dirty with foot prints and splatters, it was difficult to see. we had to make a stop to clean it so we could continue our trip.

Everything was wonderful. Irving was the name of the rep that assisted us. The car model that we booked online was unavailable and for a small upgrade fee - we rented a luxury SUV. Very happy with this rental experience.
