Cheapest thing I can find is about $100 a day for a regular car.
You're doing ok then. Was renting a car for vacation last month and the cheapest I found on Kayak was $110 for a Ford Escort. I'm 6'5" so that idea was squashed pretty quick.
Priceline "name your price" was a bust also.
Luckily a few days before the trip, a deal on Orbitz got me a mid-sized SUV for $85 per day. Gladly jumped on it.
It's expensive to rent a car in Denver. Also, avoid the smaller companies like Fox Rental and Advanced. They get horrible reviews. We luckily got our deal from Enterprise and it was pretty darned smooth.
Good luck.

Maybe you don't get the deals until you get the weekly rate, but I'm finding a minivan (kids coming) for the week of thanksgiving for $475 base rate for a week. The august rates are going to about that for a mid size for only 4 days.
eta, I got the minivan reservation through national, just searched their direct site for the August dates, it simply said "Sold Out", before I even had a chance to look at options.

"Escort"?!?!
That has not been in production in over 11 years. You meant Ford Focus which actually would have been fine for someone your size believe it or not.

Meh- I've used Fox in San Diego and found it to be as good or better than the big boys. The clerks were courteous, didn't try to upsell, and the cars were clean and seemed well-maintained. I read the review beforehand and decided to roll the dice anyway.
I'm convinced that 90% of the bad reviews for anything on the internet are due simply to the stupidity of the reviewer in accessing a service or using a product.
