Car rental in Colorado

Looking to rent a car for our winter park trip but i cant remember the name of the car rental that people rent out their cars instead of using the run of the mill rental car companies like Alamo, etc. Anyone have any leads on the name of the rental. I saw it in a post months ago but i can't remember. Thanks

Turo

Turo at Denver airport is much cheaper than the regular rental companies in my experience.

Turo is not a rental car company. It is an individual renting out their car like an Air BnB. Read the fine print. Check with the airport to see if they even let people “rent” Turo transactions there.

Rent from a traditional company (Enterprise/National/Alamo/Hertz/Thrifty/Sixt/Budget)
You will save a major headache trying to do a rental through something like Turo in the event of an accident or some mysterious damage found.

I used Turo at the Denver airport this summer. Super easy, guy was waiting outside to hand me key and then he Ubered home.
No shuttles, no lines, much cheaper

You could try Marathon Car Rental, I heard they were good!

Turo
What happens in the case of an accident? Does Turo cover anything?

I suggest getting the extra insurance on the car if you’re driving in Colorado. We backed into a tree on the last trip, small tree but blocked by snow. They didn’t ask any questions, we just told them what happened. Think it was an extra $200 or so for the coverage for 4 or 5 days. Well worth it.

It's really not...

I've simplified my approach to car rentals over the years, especially in the states...
1) Use one of the 3 or 4 companies that give status with one of the credit cards I have
2) Shop for lowest price
3) Make sure they are open at the location when/where I need to pick up and return
4) Pay with a card that offers (full) rental car insurance/coverage.
In the past every time I shopped around to save a few bucks something ended up happening, wrong vehicles, office closed, some other BS.

From their website:
quote:
You’re covered Physical damage protection Choose from three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you. Spring for Premier for peace of mind, or pay less for lighter coverage with higher out-of-pocket costs for vehicle damage or theft. Liability insurance included All Turo protection plans include coverage under a third-party liability insurance policy issued to Turo, from Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company (“Travelers”). The Travelers policy provides secondary (excess) coverage, to ensure that any Turo approved driver will be insured up to the state minimum limits required for third-party liability, unless primary coverage is explicitly required by an applicable state statute (e.g., Maryland and New York). 24/7 support & roadside assistance Customer support is available online 24/7 to answer your questions, and 24/7 roadside assistance is just a call away to keep you safe and on the road.

I miss Silvercar. They used to be my go-to in Denver before they were taken in-house by Audi and put into dealerships.
I don't want to land at DIA and have to get to Audi Denver to pick up my car.

I have found this in the past, but i guess car rental companies have adjusted and I rented a car from orbitz at denver intl. airport for my mardi gras ski trip.
Also Turo is not allowed on airport property so you have to typically ubar to a public lot a couple miles away.

I rented from Turo and picked up at Denver airport last summer with no issues. There is just an extra cost to picking it up at the airport parking lot versus a parking lot off property. I saved a lot of money and have used Turo several times since in Hawaii and L.A. with no issues. Your own car insurance should cover any issues, but some policies do not so check.
