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
  • Standard hire cars in Montrose are around 24% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Montrose

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Montrose?

    Montrose is a city with open roads and a great place for off-roading. This makes it more convenient to have an AWD or a 4WD, so opt for an SUV. If you plan to go skiing or camping and have your gear with you, rent a 4WD double cabin pick-up truck instead, as it’ll have more room for all your cargo.

  • What’s the speed limit in Montrose?

    Colorado law states that you should be reasonable and prudent while driving. That said, Montrose allows 25mph business districts, 30mph on residential districts while rural interstates get as much as 65mph and 75mph where stated. When you venture into rural highways with your Montrose rental car, keep in mind that the speed limit for two lanes and four-lane divided sits at 55mph and 65mph where posted.

  • Where are the best places to park in Montrose?

    Finding a parking spot in Montrose is relatively an easy feat. Expect to get free parking for the first 2h, but if you need to park much longer than that, expect to pay up to around $10 per day. There are two public parking lots in the city, one on 1st St offering free parking, and Block 93 Public Parking Lot also on 1st St.

  • How much is the price of fuel in Montrose?

The staff were very great and accommodating! We had a luggage issue and not only did they make sure we got a car with a little bigger trunk, you actually felt cared for in the process. Very kind staff.

Friendly efficient staff, nice car.

Cons:

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.

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...

I had reserved a car for pick up at the Montrose airport at 12 noon Saturday 3/19. I came at 1:00 and there were no cars available at all. I was told I had to wait until a car was turned in before I could have one and there were others ahead of me already waiting for cars to be turned in. This affected my vacation time and I did ask for a response of some kind but was told I would not get one.

Blake, Sept 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.

I feel that we were completely scammed by this company. We reserved a "standard SUV" which I have done dozens of times before at other locations and when I arrived I was told sorry but this is only a two wheel drive vehicle and I would need to pay $250 more plus tax to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Since it had just snowed about 2 feet I felt I needed a 4 wheel drive vehicle so I had to pay the additional money. For a few dollars more I could have reserved a Hertz vehicle and I KNOW that they would not have done this. I am aware that this is probably a franchisee but Budget should NOT allow them to do this. Furthermore the vehicle I was given was filthy dirty and they told me I could have it washed and they would pay me back... ALSO the first vehicle they gave me had a crack in the windshield running the entire width of the windshield AND the outside of the side view mirror was completely missing

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."
