You don’t need to rent a car in
Denver
if you plan on staying in the city center. Many of the city’s major attractions are within close proximity of one another and the best way to get to them is by walking on foot or taking the light rail.
Thankfully, Denver is a very walkable city with an expansive and affordable public transportation system. The light rail system, operated by the Regional Transportation District, even has nine lines running every day from 4 am to 2 am that service 53 stations between Denver,
Boulder,
and the surrounding cities in [Colorado][(

However, renting a car might be a convenient option if you plan on taking a hiking trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park while you’re there. To rent a car in Denver, generally, you must be at least 25 years or older—though some rental companies allow ages 21 to 24 for an additional fee—with the following:
  • A valid driver’s license
  • Proof of insurance
  • A major credit card.
