Things to do and places to see in Colorado
With four wondrous national parks to its name, Colorado is a hotspot for adventure junkies and nature lovers alike. And that's just the tip of the iceberg (or should we say, the peak of the mountain). In big cities like Denver and Colorado Springs, you'll also find amazing food, sporting games, museums, local markets, and much more.
Rent the perfect car
Garden of the Gods
As far as natural wonders go, the Garden of the Gods certainly brings drama, with formidable red rock formations towering over lush greenery and a range of hiking trails. There are over 21 miles of paths to walk, ranging from beginner to advanced difficulty. If you're comfortable leaving the safety of solid ground, consider breaking out the ropes and spending some time rock climbing amongst the park's magical silhouettes.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Spanning 265,461 acres, Rocky Mountain National Park encompasses five diverse geographical regions, from alpine tundra to sprawling backcountry to dazzling lakes. Welcoming over four million visitors each year, it is one of the most frequented national parks in the US. Head out for a weekend break or a longer stay and enjoy activities like hiking, fishing, rock climbing, and skiing and snowshoeing in winter.
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
If nature travel isn't your scene, there are endless cultural things to see and do, like the Denver Museum of Nature & Science! With extensive exhibitions and over one million artifacts within, you'll want to spend a full day here, exploring each wing in detail and absorbing all the history your brain can handle. Once you've got your fill of knowledge, detour through downtown Denver for a bite at iconic eateries like Sam's No. 3 or treat yourself to green chile at Santiago's Mexican Restaurant.

Rental car pickup locations throughout Colorado
Get your car delivered right to you or wherever you’re going in Colorado. Many hosts offer delivery to custom locations or popular points of interest, like airports, train stations, and hotels. Popular Colorado pickup locations include:
Denver International Airport (DEN) or Colorado Spring Airport (COS)
Opt for Denver Airport car rental and organize to have your rental car waiting for you at the East and West Garages, or the East and West Economy Lots nearby. If you're going through Colorado Springs Airport instead, arrange to grab your car from the long-term parking lot nearby. No more lining up at the airport car rental counter or poring over car rental companies — with Turo, you can power through the airport, grab your luggage, and make a beeline for your new vehicle.
Denver or other major Colorado cities
Arrange a pickup for your rental vehicle from the bustling metropolis that is Denver, where you can visit the Denver Art Museum, and the historic Union Station, or catch a game at Coors Field. In Colorado Springs, explore the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center or the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. In smaller cities like Aurora, Fort Collins, or Lakewood, discover local breweries like Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins or enjoy shopping at Southlands in Aurora.
Direct to you
No time to run around on your trip to Colorado? We get it — which is why many of our Turo hosts offer car delivery to local hotels, transport hubs, or even direct to your doorstep. Simply arrange a convenient delivery location with your host prior to collection.

Top tips for renting a car in Colorado
Ready to kick off an epic Colorado road trip? Whether you're checking out a new car to drive or looking for the perfect vacation rental, here's what you need to know about Colorado car rental locations, pricing, and more on Turo.
What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Colorado?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through an approval process by entering your driver’s license information by providing a photo of it and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Colorado?
In all US states, you must drive on the right-hand side of the road and adhere to state road rules including mandatory seat belts, speed limits, and road signs. Road offences like texting while driving and having a blood alcohol limit above 0.05% are strictly enforced in Colorado.
Colorado's speed limits vary depending on the type of road and location, but typically range from 25 mph in residential and business areas unless otherwise posted to 75 mph on rural interstates.
During winter, Colorado’s mountainous regions can experience heavy snowfall and icy conditions. To stay safe, consider a vehicle equipped with snow tires, all-weather tires, or carry chains if you plan to travel in higher elevations. Some mountain passes, like those on I-70, may even have traction laws in place during winter storms, requiring vehicles to have adequate snow equipment. Additionally, be prepared for sudden weather changes and reduced visibility due to fog or snow.
Lastly, watch for wildlife crossings in rural and mountainous areas, especially at dawn and dusk, and always give way to pedestrians at crosswalks.
Are there toll roads in Colorado?
There are tolls on two major roads in Colorado — the E-470 and the Northwest Parkway — as well as a handful of national park roads where your toll also serves as your entry cost. To pay highway tolls in Colorado, you can purchase a prepaid tag or opt to go tagless and pay your invoice when received in the mail. National park tolls can be paid up-front using cash and/or credit, depending on the road.
Do I need to rent a car in Colorado?
If you plan on exploring the state in its entirety, it's highly advisable to rent a car in Colorado. Some of the state's most populous cities, such as Colorado Springs and Denver, are well-serviced and linked by public transportation, but it's tough to get around and see natural wonders like national parks and lakes without your own set of wheels. Luckily, Turo makes it easy to find the perfect car rental exactly where and when you need it.
What occasions can I rent a car for in Colorado?
Whether you're visiting Colorado for work, leisure, or an event, renting a car offers freedom and flexibility — especially when you book on Turo.
- Vacation car rental: Planning your next trip to Colorado? Rent a car on the Turo marketplace for maximum convenience, choice, and value. Choose from versatile SUVs like the Jeep Wrangler and Subaru Outback, or opt for eco-friendly options like the Toyota Prius for city exploration.
- Work car rental: Heading to Colorado for work? Choose a reliable rental car to make it to all your meetings and events. With options from Jeep, Ford, Nissan, and Tesla, there's something for every budget and style. Impress clients with a Tesla Model 3 or keep it practical with a Ford Fusion.
- Temporary car rental: Colorado locals can enjoy Turo's car rental deals too — pick up a vehicle for the week or weekend. Whether you need a spacious Honda Odyssey for a family outing or a compact Nissan Sentra for daily errands, Turo has you covered.
- Long-term car rental: Many cars on Turo can be rented for longer periods. Explore Colorado for weeks or months without switching rental cars. Enjoy extended journeys with vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 or the Audi Q5.
What rental car types can I find in Colorado?
In Colorado, you'll find a wide array of rental car types on Turo that suit your needs. From spacious SUVs to sleek sedans for city driving, the options are plentiful. Those seeking luxury can choose models like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or the BMW X5. Sports car enthusiasts might enjoy cruising in a Ford Mustang or a Chevrolet Camaro. With Turo, finding the right rental car for your Colorado journey is simple and convenient.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Colorado?
The cost of car rental in Colorado can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Colorado, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
How old do you need to be to rent a car in Colorado?
Most corporate rental fleets in Colorado set the bar at 21 for insurance reasons. On Turo, the minimum age is 18. If you are heading to the mountains, Turo allows 18-year-olds to book vehicles (with appropriate young driver fees), offering freedom that traditional counters restrict to the 21+ crowd.
