KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Wheat Ridge
- There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in Wheat Ridge. One of the main benefits is the flexibility it provides. Unlike public transportation, which operates on a set schedule and route, having a rental car allows you to explore the city and surrounding areas on your own time. In addition, there are several places that are more easily accessible by Wheat Ridge car rentals. For example, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is a must-see destination for nature lovers, and the Flatirons is a popular destination for hikers and rock climbers.
- Denver Airport (DEN) is located approximately 25 miles from Wheat Ridge. The rental car offices at DEN are located on the 5th floor of the Jeppesen Terminal.

- When it comes to driving cheap car rentals in Wheat Ridge, there are a few key things to keep in mind. While there aren't a particularly high number of bicycles compared to some cities, it's still important to be aware of and respectful towards cyclists sharing the road. Give them enough space when passing and be prepared for them to be present in bike lanes or on roads. You should also yield to pedestrians as required by law and be cautious of potential pedestrians stepping out unexpectedly.
- Rush hours on weekdays in Wheat Ridge can cause congestion and slow traffic on some roads, especially during the morning and evening commute between 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

May 2021
Pros:
Fantastic staff and great service. Kind, responsive, professional, just a pleasure to work with.Cons:
Location does not allow after-hours key drop due to roving car-theft gangs. Maybe a better/stronger drop box could work?3,6 Poor
Nov 2020
Cons:
The woman who serviced us upon arrival was very rude. Especially, with the drop off. We were supposed to do a key drop off box. The place suspended that activity and never let us know. There was nowhere to leave the car and we didn't know what to do. She must have seen us from a distance since the office was closed and came over to ask about us. Her response was well today is your lucky day. not, I'm sorry for the inconvenience we should have contacted you telling you our policy has changed nothing.2,0 Poor

Pros:
NothingCons:
Would have been better if they had the car that I reserved. Also if they would’ve called me once they had a car to rent2,0 Poor
Sep 2020
Cons:
There were no cars available to fulfill our reservation. The Enterprise corporate staff assured us there were cars available when we phoned the night before but then on the morning of the rental, the local office called to tell us they had none and could not fulfill the reservation. We ended up renting directly from a local Avis but it caused us a lot of headache And stress at the start of our vacation. Was very disappointing as no one from Enterprise seemed able to resolve the situation.10,0 Wonderful

Jun 2020
Pros:
The staff was nice, they were helpfulCons:
The car was late to drop off and was not cleaned out but we were going on a family trip so we needed to leave. There was a nail in the drivers side tire and we used fix a flat and after hours drop off so I could not tell them. Not sure if the nail was in the tire when we picked it up but we were far from any towns and limited cell service so we did what we could do.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
Easy after hours drop off box.Cons:
Only issue was Avis Lakewood overcharging me at return. They quickly fixed this after I called customer care, but I don't appreciate having to find extra unauthorized charges on my credit card and spending time on the phone to get it fixed.10,0 Wonderful
