How to find a cheap car hire deal in Denton

  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Denton and get on your way for around $95 a day. From city stays to far-flung escapes, we'll help you find a rental that suits your trip.

  • The cheapest daily price for a rental in Denton is $89.

  • For longer trips, pick up a weekly rental from $399 and pack in more adventures.

  • To land the best price on a Denton car hire, book in advance. Rates tend to climb as your travel dates get closer, and leaving it too late could mean missing out.

  • Hertz, Avis and Dollar are some of the most popular providers in the city. They're a smart place to start comparing offers.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Denton car hire policy, whether you book with Hertz or another supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Booking one-way could land you a cheaper deal on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be moved between branches. Just select 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Denton.

  • Spend less on fuel by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect your ride with a full tank and drop it off full, so you're only paying for what you use.

  • Explore without limits by choosing a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, these rides let you go as far as you like with no extra cost.

  • Topping the list for value is this company, with prices averaging $109 a day.

  • Coming in second is this provider, offering daily rates of around $112.

  • The third option also shows up on the list of top-value suppliers. Pick up one of their rentals for roughly $105 a day.

  • If you're still weighing up which wheels are right for you, consider something from the Economy rental category. It's the most commonly booked type of car in Denton.

Compare car hire types in Denton

  • Small: These cheap rental cars in Denton may be small in size, but they live up to big expectations. Including mini and economy vehicles, they're agile, light on fuel, and just the thing for short trips.

  • Medium: A top choice when you want something that has a few more features but is still easy to drive. This category covers compact and intermediate models that come with a little extra leg room compared to smaller options.

  • Large: Long drives are effortless in this Denton car hire category. Also known as full-size, their bigger engines are built to perform. The extra space and comfort make them a popular choice for groups of friends and families.

  • SUV: Get a higher ground clearance and a better view of what's ahead in an SUV. Whether you're navigating rugged country lanes or zipping along smooth highways, many offer all-wheel drive to help you take on any road.

  • Van: If you're searching for a car for rent in Denton big enough for a small crowd (and their luggage), a van is the practical pick. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're best suited for group trips, moving or business needs.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers what you'd otherwise have to pay if your Denton car hire is damaged or stolen. While not compulsory, it can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Keep in mind that policies differ from one provider to another, so make sure you know exactly what's included.

  • Level up your ride with handy extras like a navigation system or mobile Wi-Fi. These add-ons can make your drive more efficient and enjoyable when you rent a car in Denton.

Good to know

  • To rent a vehicle in the United States, you typically have to be at least 21 years old. Some companies may offer rentals to younger drivers for a higher fee, so always check the policies before confirming your booking.

  • Add a car seat to your Denton car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Rules vary from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest approach.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up as quick as possible. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no digital copies) plus another photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in the United States.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • In the United States, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If you think you'll be drinking, pass the keys to someone else or find an alternative way to get around.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and excursions. Pay with a card when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't available.

  • English is the language most commonly spoken throughout this country.

Best hotels in Denton for drivers

  • Spend less time looking for a place to park and more time relaxing at Courtyard Denton. About 5 kilometres from central Denton, it comes with accessible parking, air conditioning and a golf course.

  • Embassy Suites By Hilton Denton Convention Centre is another good fit if your plans involve plenty of exploring. It features accessible parking, plus a bowling alley and a bar. Make this your base and you'll be roughly 3 kilometres from the city centre.

  • Explore the full lineup of hotels in Denton and pick the stay that matches your trip. Filters make it easy to tailor your search to what you need — like 'Parking,' 'Outdoor parking,' or 'Valet parking.' There's even an 'Electric vehicle (EV) charging station' filter to find hotels with charging access.

  • After you've found a car hire deal in Denton and your hotel, it's time to plan your first stops. Denton Katy Trail - Hiking & Cycling Greenbelt, North Texas Fair and Rodeo and Hangar 10 Flying Museum are the perfect introduction to the city.
