KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gunnison

  • If you love discovering new destinations at your pace, consider renting a car at one of the cheap car rentals in Gunnison.

Other destinations near Gunnison that are worth exploring include the Curecanti National Recreation Center which is located approximately 16 miles from the city center and Pine Creek.
  • Located approximately 4 miles from the Gunnison city center, Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport is the closest major airport to this Midwest city. You can easily rent your desired car rentals in Gunnison upon arriving at the airport as long as you are 18 and has the necessary documents. Better still, you can book your car online and pick it up upon arrival. This airport is home to several local and international car rental agencies like Avis, National, Sixt, Sunnycars, Hertz and Budget among others. Given that these car rentals in Gunnison have their desks within the airport, you will not need ground transportation to their offices.
  • Driving around Gunnison is relatively easy thanks to the wide and properly tarmacked roads. However, driving within the city center can be a little bit troublesome, especially during peak times when both vehicle and human traffic is high. While driving around the city center, be sure to pay attention to pedestrians and cyclists. Pay attention when approaching intersections too.
  • It is not uncommon for some streets to experience heavy snarl-up, especially during rush hours. Congestion can worsen in downtown areas. I-76 westbound can be particularly busy during rush hours.

And once you get to the interstate or expressway, you can drive at up to 60 mph. However, do pay attention to the road conditions and adjust your speed prudently. As a general rule, avoid high speeds when the roads are slippery due to rain or ice.
