KAYAK’s top tips for renting 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 rental car in Montrose at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Montrose are around 25% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting 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.

Pros:

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

Feb 2017
Cons:
The final price was higher than promised. $419 versus $368 due extra taxes and fees charged by airport authority. Reason stated was rental was made at an offsite location. However, the offsite location does not rent cars. The day before rental Enterprise called to confirm pickup. Stated the pickup would be at the airport. The clerks would not honor the rental agreement. I was not told of the extra fees and taxes until drop off.Alamo

Pros:
Everything was Great. Fast service, nice clean car.Cons:
I got a free upgrade and was told when handed the keys. It would be better to ask if the customer wants an upgrade and what type of car rather than the brand. I had a gas guzzler SUV. I could have changed it but found out when I saw the car in the lot, and didn't want to spend more time... I would have preferred an economical one.2.0 Poor

Jan 2021
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

Cons:
Not billing me $400 to keep the rental car for an additional 15 hours of use due to a flight cancellation would've been nice.7.6 Good
Jun 2018
Pros:
Car was available in the class I previously chose - no waiting. Big plus.Cons:
Car had quite a few scrapes & alot of rock chips - as long as I'm not charged, I don't care, but there were alot. I had never driven a push-button start vehicle - it should have been obvious, but without instruction, the car pic of the parking brake and the start/stop button made me think I had to make sure the parking brake wasn't on and I was in Park and then press Start. I had to acknowledge my ignorance and ask someone, in order to learn you had to press and hold the brake while you press the start/stop button; otherwise nothing. It would be great if agents asked about familiarity with this option, to avoid delay/embarrassment.2.0 Poor

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
Jul 2018
Cons:
After my flight was delayed I tried to notify budget, 25 phone calls later they refuse to answer the phone. Terrible customer service. No customer service2.4 Poor
Mar 2018
Cons:
They seldom answer local phone or return calls.9.2 Wonderful
Jul 2017
Cons:
No one at desk. Not the economy car I asked for. Don't charge me for a full tank of gas for a 60 mile drive. Had two bookings for me though first was not confirmed, just an exploration via Kayak.4.0 Mediocre
Feb 2016
Pros:
The check on agent and lot tech in Montrose were very nice and tried their best to help us.Cons:
Car was rated for 5 passengers but only had 4 seat belts. The back middle seat attachment was nowhere to be found by us or the Budget staff. We also had to wait over 30 mins for our car. Both facts are tough to swallow when they are charging $180/day for their car.Easirent
