I had an outstanding experience renting from William From start to finish, everything was seamless. Communication was quick, clear, and professional — he made the entire process effortless. The vehicle was exactly as described: spotless, well-maintained, and ready to go right on time. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient, which made our trip to Durango stress-free. William went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that we were taken care of. If you’re renting in the Durango area, I highly recommend booking with him. I would absolutely rent from William again without hesitation. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great car; in great condition and fun to drive; Jordan was great to work with. We nearly got stranded without an Uber at the drop off place and needed a ride to the airport and he volunteered if we couldn’t get an Uber. I will definitely use Jordan’s car again when I’m in Durango.

Top tips for renting a car in Durango


Durango offers beautiful mountain scenery and exciting outdoor adventures, but getting around is easier with a set of wheels. Here’s what to know before you hit the road.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Durango?


Durango is set in the middle of a valley, making driving relatively smooth in general. You'll find speed limits ranging from 25 MPH in residential districts to 65 on nearby interstates, so keep your eyes on the posted signs.


It's the weather that can throw a wrench into your plans, regardless of the time of year. The Durango area sees around 19 inches of rain per year, so roadways can be slick. Wintertime is even more precarious, though—a good 71 inches of snow fall onto Durango per year, so if you're visiting for the holidays, it might be a good idea to pick up a pickup truck as your rental vehicle.


What is parking like in Durango?


Parking really depends on where you're at in Durango. The Central Business District features metered street parking of various time limits, all active from Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Meters are free on weekends and holidays, but keep in mind there is no on-street parking allowed between 2 and 5 a.m. The good thing is, you can pay and manage parking with the ParkMobile app.


Prefer a lot? All municipal parking lots are free after 5 p.m.


Are there toll roads in Durango?


You're in luck: there are no toll roads in Durango! The nearest one is on the east side of Denver, so chances are you'll be in the clear.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Durango?


You'll find plenty of gas stations and EV chargers alike in Durango. Don't worry about running out of gas or batteries—there's almost always a place to top up just around the corner.


Do I need to rent a car in Durango?


Durango only covers 5.6 square miles, so it's not exactly unwalkable. That can still be quite the distance, though, especially in wintertime. Renting a car in Durango will make it much easier to get around and to sightsee without relying on slow transit options.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. 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.

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive.

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.
