Driving tips for Denver
There are a few things to know before driving in Denver with your car hire. The surrounding countryside virtually begs you to take long day trips, so keep the following in mind:
- Navigate like a local: If you're unsure of which direction to travel in the countryside, remember the local rule of thumb: the Rocky Mountains face the west, so use that to help orientate yourself.
- Safe driving in the mountains: When driving through the Rocky Mountains with your Denver car hire, take every opportunity to fill up your tank. Some areas don't have any petrol stations or EV charging points for many miles.
- Watch out for cyclists: Cycling is hugely popular in Denver, both recreationally and for commuting. Expect cyclists to appear at any time, and keep a safe distance.
- Dealing with Denver traffic: This booming cosmopolitan city comes with unavoidable traffic congestion. Plan to leave early if you want to avoid it when you're driving to an outlying destination. Use real-time apps to help you bypass the worst of it.
