Free Parking: Vail’s primary parking structures, Vail Village and Lionshead, offer free parking from early in the morning, until before midnight.
Altitude: Many of the roads near Vail are at an altitude of over 9000 feet. Remember to stay hydrated and rest if you’re feeling the effects of Vail’s high altitude.
Winter driving: During the winter months, mountain roads become more dangerous and may even close due to snowfall. Check the road conditions before starting your journey, and reduce your speed in snowy or icy areas. Also avoid abrupt accelerating, braking, or turning.

I've rented from other kiosks at the Eagle-Vail airport, but SIXT has been my smoothest experience BY FAR!! The agent Whitney B. was very helpful and kind helping me with a last-minute urgent reservation. Upon pickup, Irving answered all of my questions so there were no "surprises" that I've gotten from other rental kiosks. The rental car was very clean and modern. The return process was simple, and Irving even walked with me to point out the return lot. AMAZING service and I will be recommending to all of my friends/family that visit.

Today we had (THE) Whitney helping us with our reservation. We ran into some flight delays and she was really understanding and willing to help us out. She also did an incredible job analyzing the needs of our group and working to get us the best experience possible. Whitney was kind, patient, and efficacious. She provided hands down the best experience I have ever had with SIXT. Which should be held in the highest regard because I only rent with SIXT. Would definitely recommend.
