Top tips for hiring a car at Montrose County airport

  • If visiting Montrose County for the first time, car rentals at Montrose County Airport (MTJ) are an inexpensive and easy way to get around. Rental cars are more affordable than rideshare and taxis and more convenient than buses or trains. Taxi and rideshare fares often fluctuate and increase your total spending if you rely on them throughout your stay. On the other hand, car rentals are more affordable and consolidate everyone’s travel needs into one rental. It's cheaper to rent a van than use two or three taxis to get around if you are in a group.
  • Avoid waiting till you arrive at Montrose County Airport to book your car rental and do it online via KAYAK. We have made it easy to book rentals online and save you from the inconvenience of dealing with long lines at the rental counters. When you book your rental through KAYAK, you access rentals from all car hire agencies at Montrose County Airport. Filter your results according to your budget and the preferred rental type, and make it fast and easy to find a suitable rental.
  • Montrose County Airport has a rental car lot at the ground transportation facility where all car rentals should be returned. The facility has designated lots for each car rental provider, so find the sign for your provider and park the car. An agent will be at the lot ready to inspect the vehicle for damages. Confirm that you have taken your items out of the car before you lock them. To avoid late return fees or additional charges, make the drop off at the time and location on the rental contract agreement.
  • Car rentals from Montrose County Airport can cross the Colorado state border into other states in the United States. You can drive Montrose County Airport car rentals throughout the country without restrictions from your provider. You can also travel to Canada without restrictions. However, most agencies forbid entry into Mexico with car rentals at Montrose County Airport. Only a few agencies permit travel to Mexico, but you must buy additional insurance coverage for the rental while in Mexico.
  • Book your car hire at Montrose County airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The staff were very great and accommodating! We had a luggage issue and not only did they make sure we got a car with a little bigger trunk, you actually felt cared for in the process. Very kind staff.

Pros:

Friendly efficient staff, nice car.

Cons:

Price. Current shortages meant that a rental that cost $98 several months ago, cost $480 on my most recent trip. This was true for all rental companies, not just Alamo.

Pros:

Nothing. Never got our car...

Cons:

Phone was off the hook and rang busy all day when trying to inform rental counter that our flight was severely delayed. Arrived to find nobody at rental counter. Called after hours person and they would not come in to give us our car. Only after 10 mins did the agent call back because she felt bad and said that she would come in to get us a car. However the airport would be close by the time she came in. Addressed these issues on the return trip at the rental counter and they denied saying their phone was busy and made nothing but excuses...

I had reserved a car for pick up at the Montrose airport at 12 noon Saturday 3/19. I came at 1:00 and there were no cars available at all. I was told I had to wait until a car was turned in before I could have one and there were others ahead of me already waiting for cars to be turned in. This affected my vacation time and I did ask for a response of some kind but was told I would not get one.

Blake, Sep 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Staff was mildly friendly at best. we waited in line for over an hour to get our rental. The first rental we received had not been cleaned and smelled terribly of smoke. After returning to the counter we were offered another vehicle without question which was appreciated. Upon further driving of the Toyota we were provided, the breaks were absolute terrible and would cause major vibration when attempting to stop. With driving to Telluride through the mountains, the breaking situation is not ideal by any means.

Cons:

Vehicles need to be updated and be properly maintained. Also, in that size airport, there needs to be more staff, there is no reason to be forced to wait an hour for a rental at any airport.

I feel that we were completely scammed by this company. We reserved a "standard SUV" which I have done dozens of times before at other locations and when I arrived I was told sorry but this is only a two wheel drive vehicle and I would need to pay $250 more plus tax to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Since it had just snowed about 2 feet I felt I needed a 4 wheel drive vehicle so I had to pay the additional money. For a few dollars more I could have reserved a Hertz vehicle and I KNOW that they would not have done this. I am aware that this is probably a franchisee but Budget should NOT allow them to do this. Furthermore the vehicle I was given was filthy dirty and they told me I could have it washed and they would pay me back... ALSO the first vehicle they gave me had a crack in the windshield running the entire width of the windshield AND the outside of the side view mirror was completely missing

We were charged an extra $100 for being half an hour early to pick up the car. The car smelled like cigarette smoke and Febreeze. The maintenance light was on with a dashboard message that said "maintenance required". We told the lady at the counter and requested a different car and her response was, "That's just for the oil change, you'll be fine. That's the only car you can take."
