E-Z Rent-A-Car Has Officially Moved To In-Terminal at Denver International Airport

In the past, if you flew into Denver International Airport to pick up your discount rental car from E-Z, you had to go straight to a shuttle bus and trek about 5 miles to get to our rental car location. We knew this wasn’t the most convenient set up for our great customers, so we have worked long and hard to get an in-terminal location at the Denver airport.

That time has finally arrived, and we have a huge rental counter area in-terminal at Denver International Airport. Instead of getting on a shuttle bus to travel 5 miles away from the airport to get to your cheap rental car, we are now less than a mile away for your convenience.

Some Great Features About Our New Location

  • More counter space with six computers to stream line the check-in process
  • Our fleet is now located less than a mile from the main airport terminals.
  • We have enough space to continually grow our fleet and offer more vehicles during increased demand for rental cars
  • We now have on-site car washing and maintenance facilities
  • An overall more enjoyable experience for you, our loyal customers.

So the next time you are traveling to Denver, remember E-Z Rent-A-Car, because we offer exceptional customer service and rental cars at a discounted price.

World’s Cheapest Car Comes To The United States

Tata technologies has become one of the fastest growing companies in the world largely because it has set out a mission to make car buying more affordable and energy efficient with its Tata Nano. The Tata Nano started out in India, and it has a price tag of about $2,000 to $2,500. The first concern many people have when they hear about a car being so cheap is the safety of the car.

KDVR 31, A Fox affiliate in Denver, Colodiv rado, had a chance to preview the car on its way to the Detroit Auto Show and this is what they had to say about it:

We found it comfortably seats two adult males in the front with plenty of head room and two adult males in the back. It gets 70 miles per gallon on the highway, 50 mpg in the city with a top speed of 65 mph on a two cylinder engine and no airbags.

It does not have any air bags, and the features will be barebones, but it looks to be larger than the Smart Cars, which also have concerns over safety issues from consumers. The car gets 70 mpg on the highway and still goes 65mph, so there will definitely be a market for them in the United States. Tata is already in the works of creating a hybrid version which will get even better gas mileage, and they are testing out the interest around college campuses.

Could discount cars be the future of the auto industry? Could it be the future of the rental car industry as well? If rental car companies are able to purchase these cars at such low prices, they’ll be able to offer cheaper rental car rates to consumers. It will be interesting to see how the response is for the Tata Nano in the United States.
