With mountainous regions and snow in the winter, a 4-wheel drive car is a very good option for Colorado Springs. Good road grip is not only essential for winter road conditions, but also for the gravel roads in the mountains year-round. A pickup truck will provide the required road grip and a truck bed for bulky luggage, but an SUV is probably a better choice when wanting to drive not only around but also inside the city.
Unless posted otherwise, 25 mph is permitted in most residential areas, while 30 mph is also allowed in some. Rural interstates allow between 65 and 70 mph and open mountain highways allow 40 mph. Winding mountain roads only permit 20 mph -- it is crucial to adhere to this speed limit, as they often have blind curves and narrow lanes.
There is on-street metered parking available, which is free on Sundays, as well as parking garages like the Bijou Cascade Parking Garage or the Kiowa/Nevada Parking Garage. The advantage of a garage is that they are safer due to safety cameras and are also open 24/7, making overnight parking possible.

Pros:
Pickup at COS was easy for FastBreak members. Bypassed the line, picked up the keys in 30 seconds. The Mazda CX-9 was larger than what we had reserved, which came in very handy. The car was clean and in very good condition. Drop off at COS was super easy--a courteous attendant took the info and within a couple minutes we were inside the terminal.Cons:
The car was a bit pricey ($80/day) and LDW coverage (had I gotten it) would have been another $35/day.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
We thought we were renting from the airport location. My mistake, so we took Uber over to the correct place. We were supposed to have a mid-size SUV but when we got there, there was only a Camry and a compact SUV (Ford Escape, I think). We had 5 adults and luggage for skiing, so these were not an option. The staff there was very accommodating and did find a van that was finishing up a repair at a body shop. One of the employees took us to get food during the 45 minutes or so that we waited, so that was nice. I'm not sure the tires on the van were Colorado traction legal. We were traveling from Colorado Springs to Breckenridge. I saw a digital highway sign that Traction Law was in effect, but was not sure what that meant until someone explained later. Made it over the pass near Alma Ok but later that night had to get a push in Breck. Since the law was in effect , the van was required to be 4WD (which it wasn't) or have snow tires, which I don't think it did.Cons:

May 2021
Cons:
Late evening pickup, rainy night, COS airport. Guy at pick-up counter said that it wasn't possible to inspect car for damage at the moment, so I should just take photos and let him know if there were any problems. Darkness and rain made good inspection impossible. Next morning, noticed a significant issue with wheel. By this point I was half a state away and it was hard to prove that the damage existed when car was picked up. All very shady. Spend nearly three hours trying to reach Alamo COS by phone, and it cannot be done. Calling national Alamo help numbers or even the airport itself yielded no results. They cannot be reached, period. National help lines for Alamo were unable to resolve situation, all told me I had to call specific COS location, but no one was able to give me that number. A disaster.10.0 Wonderful
