You can drive to Westminster Central Park, commonly referred to as Peter Pan Park, on 92nd Avenue to have a picnic and enjoy the English theme. No better place to feel the English culture than the 28.4 miles away from Westminster central park from DIA. If you are into hiking, mountain biking, and other nature adventures, you could also drive to Big Dry Creek Trail open year-round and 31.6 miles from Denver International Airport.

In particular, Westminster has three roads, which you can utilize if you want to beat the heavy traffic on most of the other roads. This will go a long way in enabling you to get to your preferred destinations within the shortest time possible. Pikes Peak Highway, Northwest Parkway, and E-470 are the roads you expect to pay tolls when driving on them.
- Since Denver International Airport (DEN) is a central airline hub for the largest aviation market, just 28.4 miles from Westminster. Car rentals in Westminster are recommended when looking for transport options across town. DEN onsite car rental center is at the Jeppesen Terminal marked Rent-A-Car.

The license must be in your name and remain valid for the entire rental period. Unfortunately, you will not be able to rent a car in Westminster if you have a Learners' or Instructional Permit.

Pros:
NothingCons:
Booked the car through Kayak, the Enterprise location didn’t actually have a car available (the website shouldn’t allow me to book through them). The enterprise did try to call immediately after I booked and left a voicemail telling me they didn’t actually have vehicles for the next morning, but I didn’t receive the voicemail. I spent $40 on an Uber to their location, only to be told by their agent they they didn’t have cars, and that they did call to tell me that the night prior. When asked why they didn’t try calling again in the morning, to perhaps save me a trip, they basically had no response. The customer service at the location was non-existent, there was no attempt to rectify or apologize for the inconvenience, the woman “helping” me never made eye contact with me, and repeatedly just kept saying, “we did call and leave you a message.” It was clear they had no interest or concept of customer service, so I had them cancel the reservation, I then booked direct through National Car Rental at the airport for the next day and had a great experience. I won’t book through Kayak again, had this been a business trip it could have caused serious issues. When I reserve a vehicle I need to be able to trust that it’s an actual reservation.2,0 Poor

Pros:
The staff was rude and extremely unhelpful. We were promised a premium truck which was then revoked. Upon arrival the truck was available but only in 2 wheel drive. Being we were in Colorado I wanted a 4 wheel drive car. Upon arrival the associate said they had a 4 wheel minivan available so I opted for that. It turns out the van was only 2 wheel drive and the associate lied to us. It snowed that night and we barely made it to our rental condo. We also missed a day of skiing because of the weather and our inability to drive. We called enterprise to see if they could provide a 4 wheel car. We never received a call back.Cons:
Everything. After this experience I will never use kayak or enterprise again.10,0 Wonderful
