Top tips for renting a car in Glenwood Springs


Whether you're headed to a restaurant on Seventh Street or making the drive to Hanging Lake, having the right car can make your trip smoother, especially in the winter. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you book on Turo in Glenwood Springs.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Glenwood Springs?


Most of the year, driving around Glenwood Springs is straightforward, but winter weather can make roads more difficult. If you’re visiting in snowy months, consider booking a 4WD or AWD vehicle on Turo to stay safe on icy streets and mountain roads. While main roads are usually plowed quickly, smaller streets and routes into the mountains may stay snow-covered.


On I-70, expect sharp curves, steep grades, and occasional closures during winter storms. Be prepared and allow extra travel time. In town, speed limits are usually between 25–35 mph, while highways like CO-82 range from 55–65 mph. Traffic often increases on weekends, especially near Iron Mountain Hot Springs or during ski season, so plan accordingly.


What is parking like in Glenwood Springs?


Parking in Glenwood Springs is generally easy, though it can become more challenging during ski season when people stop in Glenwood Springs on their way to Aspen or the busier summer rafting months. If you're grabbing a bite on Restaurant Row, you'll find lots of metered parking. You can also score free parking on side streets if you're willing to walk a few blocks. For popular destinations like Hanging Lake or Iron Mountain Hot Springs, check their websites in advance for parking details when you book your visit.


Are there toll roads in Glenwood Springs?


No, Glenwood Springs doesn't have any toll roads within the city. There aren't toll roads on CO-82 or I-70 either. The only toll road you may hit is if you're driving into the city from Denver, on the E-470.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Glenwood Springs?


You’ll find plenty of gas stations in Glenwood Springs, including along CO-82 and near the I-70 exits. It’s a good idea to fill up before driving toward the ski resorts, since stations become less frequent in more remote areas.


For EV drivers, Glenwood Springs also offers several charging stations downtown, such as ChargePoint locations, where you can recharge before continuing on to destinations like Vail or Aspen.


Do I need to rent a car in Glenwood Springs?


If you plan on staying in the downtown area, you can get around by bike. However, renting a car gives you a lot more flexibility. With a rental car, you can hike the stunning Hanging Lake trail, ski at a nearby ski resort, and end the day with dinner on Restaurant Row. A rental also lets you venture out farther, to destinations like Vail or Aspen.
