Car Rental Colorado Springs Airport

Colorado's second largest city, Colorado Springs is just north of Denver and offers some of Colorado's best mountain scenery. Most visitors arrive into the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. Although a full-service facility, the airport's relatively small size makes it easy to get in and out quickly. The airport is located 11 miles outside of the downtown area, so car rentals in Colorado Springs Airport are a good idea.

The airport, although small, features a nice arrangement of passenger lounges, free access to wireless internet, a small gift shop, and a restaurant. Recent renovations have left the airport looking pristine. However, many visitors still opt to arrive in the city via the Denver International Airport, 80 miles north of the city. If this is the case, car rental in Colorado Springs Airport can be arranged for the hour long drive to downtown Colorado Springs. There is also a shuttle service available from the Denver International Airport to Colorado Springs.

From the municipal airport, visitors can use budget car rental in Colorado Springs Airport to access Highway 25, which heads directly into downtown Colorado Springs. Once inside the city having a rental car is the most convenient option for transportation.

Arguably the biggest appeal for Colorado Springs is its natural scenery. With the majestic Rocky Mountains looming overhead, visitors will find that hiking, rock climbing, and cycling are popular activities with locals and tourists. Adventure tourism is big in the city and many local travel firms specialise in such activities as cave tours, rock climbing, white water rafting, and horseback riding.

Some of the more notable sightseeing/hiking spots include Pikes Peak, Seven Falls, Helen Hunt Falls, and the Garden of the Gods. A range of dining and accommodation options are available. For those looking to splurge, the historic Broadmoor Hotel offers a 3,000 acre setting at the base of the scenic Cheyenne Mountains.
