Conquering the Car Rental Quest: Your Guide to National at Denver Airport
So, you've touched down in Denver, the "Mile High City." Mile high in altitude, maybe, but definitely not in car rental difficulty. Especially not when it comes to snagging a sweet ride from National. Here's how to navigate the Denver International Airport (affectionately known as DIA) and land yourself in the driver's seat faster than you can say "Rocky Mountain high" (please, no karaoke in the rental car).

Step 1: The Baggage Claim Blitz
You've retrieved your luggage (hopefully with all your dancing shoes intact). Now, hightail it out of baggage claim and towards the glorious sunshine (or, you know, appropriate Colorado weather) of the pick-up area. Look for Curb #4, because that's where your National chariot awaits - well, technically a shuttle to your chariot, but you get the picture.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
Step 2: Shuttles: A Minibus Odyssey
Don't worry, this shuttle odyssey won't involve any mythical creatures, just a comfy ride to the National counter. National's shuttle should be clearly marked, and if by some chance you end up on a psychedelic painted bus with a man playing the banjo, well, that's a story for another time (but maybe hop off at that point).
Step 3: Conquering the Counter
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
Ah, the National counter. Here's where your rental agreement awaits, and where you'll unleash your inner champion negotiator (or, you know, just show your ID and credit card). Pro tip: If you're a National Emerald Club member, you can skip the line and waltz right through. Just channel your inner emerald-loving leprechaun and you're golden.

Step 4: Hitting the Road
With your keys in hand and wanderlust in your heart, you're ready to explore Denver (or, you know, the nearest burrito joint). Just remember, with great rental car freedom comes great responsibility. Don't be that guy who cuts everyone off - Denver drivers are chill, but they have a healthy appreciation for turn signals.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Bonus Round: Essential Denver Driving Tips
- Yellow Doesn't Always Mean Slow Down: Those yellow flashing lights mean "caution," not "come to a screeching halt."
- Respect the Speed Limit: Especially those sneaky ones in school zones. Denver kids deserve safe streets (and you deserve to avoid a hefty ticket).
- Wildlife Watching (on the Road): Deer love to meander across the highway, so keep your eyes peeled, especially at dawn and dusk. Just admire them from afar, please.
