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. Passengers can access the rental car counters by taking the train from inside the terminal or by walking. Colorado Springs Airport (COS) is located approximately 80 miles from Wheat Ridge. The rental car offices at COS are located on the Terminal's lower level. Passengers can access the rental car counters by walking.
  • 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. The busiest roads in the city include I-70, I-76, and West Colfax Avenue. It's best to plan ahead and leave early or consider alternate routes to avoid traffic during these times. When there are heavy rains in the area, it’s common for the roads to become slippery and traffic to slow down. Musky and muddy zones can also make driving cheap car rentals in Wheat Ridge quite challenging, particularly during spring when the snow starts melting and it becomes muddy.

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?

We got to budget at DIA around 11:30pm on 2/9/24. There was a huge line. It was not moving. I asked people who had been in line for 90mins and they still had half way to go. Terrible! So slow. Miserable. We called uber and went to our hotel. Budget at DIA: horrible experience.
