Top tips for renting a car in Fort Collins


If you're ready to experience the charm of Fort Collins, you'll want to familiarize yourself with Colorado road rules and parking options. If you're looking to explore the Rocky Mountains themselves, here are some handy car rental tips to make driving through Fort Collins a breeze.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Fort Collins?


Because Fort Collins is nestled in the mountains, driving here is an experience in itself. Always adhere to local road rules, such as wearing a seatbelt and operating your phone on hands-free mode. Failure to use your turning signal in Colorado can result in a fine and other penalties.


Colorado has one of the United States' highest maximum speed limits, but this varies depending on the kind of road you are driving, and especially the weather conditions. Some roads allow drivers to travel up to 75mph, but winding mountain roads with blind corners mean this limit needs to be adjusted accordingly. Most mountain highways recommend traveling at 20mph, whereas neighborhood locations like East Side should be driven at 30mph.


Extreme weather conditions in the mountainous terrain mean you should always be prepared and keep extra gear in your vehicle. Carrying snow chains and ice scrapers and driving to the conditions can ensure your adventure is safe and you can keep exploring the beautiful Rocky Mountains without any interruptions.


What is parking like in Fort Collins?


Fort Collins enforces time-limited parking to encourage turnover for downtown businesses and visitors. Most time-regulated parking in Downtown Fort Collins is two hours and is enforced every day of the week except Sunday. No matter your car size, it's easy to find a parking spot for easy access to attractions like the Magnolia St Market, Odell Brewing Company, or The Gardens on Spring Creek.


After leaving a time-limited park downtown, vehicles can't park in the same lot or block for four hours, even if you haven't used your maximum time. If you think your exploration will be longer than this, there are lots of parking options on Remington Street and one in the Mason Lot. If a street has no signage indicating time restrictions, you can park your vehicle there all day. The periphery of Downtown Fort Collins also has parking if you don't mind a longer stroll to your next attraction.


Are there toll roads in Fort Collins?


Yes, there is a toll road that runs through the Denver suburbs and serves Denver International Airport. This means if you're coming to Fort Collins from the airport, you'll need to access Fort Collins using toll roads such as E-470 and I-25. It's easy to pay tolls automatically through your ExpressToll account. Colorado also accepts Go Pass if you have it.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Fort Collins?


Fort Collins is a base for outdoor enthusiasts, so it makes sense that it's equipped with ample gas stations and EV chargers. You can fuel up for your adventure at Sinclair Gas Station and Costco on Harmony Road in South Fort Collins, or take your pick of Conoco or Valero stations on College Ave.


If you're renting an EV and need to charge up, Fort Collins offers several EV charging stations around the community. EV charging station locations in Fort Collins include the Downtown Civic Center Parking Garage and Mulberry Pool.


Do I need to rent a car in Fort Collins?


Having a car rental in Fort Collins allows you to make the adventure truly yours. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a history buff, or a beer lover, it's easy to compare vehicles on the Turo marketplace to find the right wheels for you.


If you're planning to use Fort Collins as a gateway to exploring the Rocky Mountains, having a car rental is essential. Driving an SUV or 4WD makes exploring easier and safer, so you can focus on the beautiful mountain views while you make your way to your destination.

On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

What rental car types are there in Fort Collins?

On Turo, you'll find rental cars tailored to your Fort Collins itinerary. Jeep's modern models, like Jeep Compass and Jeep Wranglers, offer rugged power to hit any road in just about any condition. If you're just zipping around the town and exploring historic spots and breweries, experience the smoothest drive possible behind the wheel of a luxury Porsche 911 or Porsche Panamera.

Plus, you'll find plenty of everyday cars in Fort Collins on Turo, including a Mazda 3, Kia Forte or a Hyundai Elantra.
