Colorado Springs Car RentalsWhether you’re headed straight for the mountains or you just want to kick around town, Colorado Springs car rentals will get you the vehicle to get you there. But aren’t there a lot of companies in Colorado Springs? Car rentals can be confusing. Which one is best? We’ve had very good luck with AVIS, and not so good luck with others. 
AVIS was very friendly, courteous, and quick. Other companies have made us wait for hours, and seemed unorganized. One of our trips had us arriving to Colorado Springs Airport after a flight in from Milwaukee, and we knew we had a long drive to Wolf Creek. We were concerned our car rental might cause a setback, as they sometimes do. Turns out, AVIS didn’t have our car as planned. But instead of making us wait for another one (this has happened to us twice with other companies), they immediately upgraded our sedan to a full-size SUV! 
It was waiting for us right outside the airport doors. We were very grateful and excited about this excellent turn in customer service, and left very happy customers.Turns out we had to drive through a blizzard that night, so we also learned another valuable lesson. Get yourself an ALL-WHEEL DRIVE vehicle. Mountain weather often changes suddenly, and you will be so glad you’ve got power to all four wheels when the snow falls, or the rain falls, or a boulder falls. It's all about beating gravity. You can drive through the mountains in a Toyota Camry, of course. I do it all the time. But if it’s winter, or you suddenly decide it would be fun to take a dirt road to a special trail, or the weather gets especially nasty, you will want an all-wheel drive vehicle. Give yourself the freedom to explore Colorado Springs. Car rentals don't have to be boring, or expensive. Even the less expensive Kias and Buicks have all-wheel drive nowadays. An extra thought on Colorado Springs car rentals…you might also want a V6 engine. POWER GOOD We drove all over Colorado one summer in Kelly’s trusty Saturn 4-cylinder sedan, and we made it everywhere just fine. But boy, did it bog down going up those 8% grade inclines. Every time we did 45mph up a mountain, V6 after V6 passed us up like we were standing still, and, well, I think I developed V6 envy. ;) On the safety side, though, the extra power will help you get out of tricky situations better. Just a thought. If you’re budget-minded like we are, it’s tempting to rent the cheapest option. But we recommend you put your safety first in this department. Go all-wheel & V6, and you won’t be sorry. Consider your overall trip to Colorado Springs. Car rentals give you the option to explore a beautiful city next to the mountains—and you may want to take a day trip or two deeper into the state. Get in those mountains! That’s what Colorado is all about.
