KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Montrose
- Renting a car can offer you not just a practical option, but a comfortable experience when traveling to Montrose. Located in Western Colorado, this is a city where you’ll experience scenic byways and unforgettable excursions. More so if you’re looking to get on high alpine highways or off-the-road and explore sand-stone routes inaccessible through other modes of transportation. The highlights on Montrose highways from bison and elk farms to Colorado wineries are better when you travel at your own pace, so getting a car from Montrose car rentals will be well worth it for the ultimate experience.
- The Montrose Regional Airport has a Rental Car Counter located in the baggage claim lobby. To make the booking process seamless, you can check out car rentals in Montrose through KAYAK and reserve your car of choice before the trip. You'll find several Montrose car rentals, such as Hertz, Dollar, Avis, Enterprise, and Thrifty. Most of these car rentals also have agencies on Airport Dr, which is right outside the Montrose Regional Airport. Consider picking up your car directly from the agencies if that's the most suitable option. You may not find many car rental options in Downtown Montrose in the city. However, most of them may be willing to deliver the car to your hotel at an extra charge.
- If there’s something you should watch out for on Montrose roads, it’s wildlife animals. More so when approaching winter, as the days get shorter and visibility can be poor during dusk and dawn. Deer are usually more distracted during this time of year, but it’s still possible to hit animals even in other seasons. Always be alert, obey traffic signs, and slow down if possible, to increase reaction time.
- There’s minimal traffic in Montrose, CO, and even during rush hour, it doesn’t drag enough to be worried about, unless there’s ongoing construction. Still, I-70 can be quite busy if you intend to venture out of the city. Beyond that, winter roads in Montrose and Colorado as a whole can be rigorous. The snow can get as high as six inches, and the blizzards can make driving hard on inexperienced drivers, even with a 4WD, so be careful when driving.
- Book your car hire in Montrose at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact hire cars in Montrose are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average

That said, Montrose allows 25mph business districts, 30mph on residential districts while rural interstates get as much as 65mph and 75mph where stated.

Price. Current shortages meant that a rental that cost $98 several months ago, cost $480 on my most recent trip. This was true for all rental companies, not just Alamo.Avis

Pros:
Nothing. Never got our car...Cons:
Phone was off the hook and rang busy all day when trying to inform rental counter that our flight was severely delayed. Arrived to find nobody at rental counter. Called after hours person and they would not come in to give us our car. Only after 10 mins did the agent call back because she felt bad and said that she would come in to get us a car. However the airport would be close by the time she came in. Addressed these issues on the return trip at the rental counter and they denied saying their phone was busy and made nothing but excuses...4,0 Mediocre

Pros:
Pick up and drop off was quick and easyCons:
Car was much smaller than expected. Said Nissan Pathfinder or similar (and I know it says not guaranteed) but we got a Kia Sorento which was a lot tighter than we were planning for. Had to have bags in laps/etc. Why not just tell us exactly the car we were reserving? Doesn't seem that hard10,0 Wonderful

Sep 2020
Pros:
Staff was mildly friendly at best. we waited in line for over an hour to get our rental. The first rental we received had not been cleaned and smelled terribly of smoke. After returning to the counter we were offered another vehicle without question which was appreciated. Upon further driving of the Toyota we were provided, the breaks were absolute terrible and would cause major vibration when attempting to stop. With driving to Telluride through the mountains, the breaking situation is not ideal by any means.Cons:
Vehicles need to be updated and be properly maintained. Also, in that size airport, there needs to be more staff, there is no reason to be forced to wait an hour for a rental at any airport.2,0 Poor
Jul 2019
Pros:
Mechanical condition of the car was the only thing that was good.Cons:
The car was extremely dirty but inside and outside, and the associate at the desk said that it was because my flight was late by 4 hours and they were not aware of it. Their reason was that their detailing staff went home (it was still 4pm) because they thought there were no more customers coming!2,0 Poor

Cons:
We were charged an extra $100 for being half an hour early to pick up the car. The car smelled like cigarette smoke and Febreeze. The maintenance light was on with a dashboard message that said "maintenance required". We told the lady at the counter and requested a different car and her response was, "That's just for the oil change, you'll be fine. That's the only car you can take."Enterprise Rent-A-Car
