Landing after midnight and wondering whether you can collect your car? Late-night car rental pickup at Denver International Airport is an option: Enterprise, Avis and Hertz list their DEN locations as open 24 hours. The important next step is checking how your chosen supplier handles your reservation if you arrive later than planned.
Make sure you’re looking at the airport branch, not another Denver location. Enterprise’s DEN branch is at 23842 E 78th Ave, Avis is at 25500 E 78th Ave, and Hertz is at 24890 E 78th Ave. Match the supplier and address to your confirmation before relying on those round-the-clock hours.
An open branch and a held reservation are different things. The supplied location information establishes the opening hours, but it doesn’t establish how long your particular reservation will be held. Before traveling, ask: “If my flight is delayed past my pickup time, what do I need to do, and how late can I collect the car?” Get clarification on any deadline or potential charge rather than assuming there’s a universal grace period.
If your flight lands near midnight, double-check the calendar date on your pickup reservation. A pickup at 12:30 a.m. belongs to the following day, not the evening you boarded. Plan your pickup time around getting off the plane, collecting any bags and reaching the rental branch—not just your flight’s scheduled landing time.
Save the branch’s contact details before departure so you’re not hunting through tabs after a delay. The published DEN numbers are +1 833-828-5715 for Enterprise, +1 303-342-5500 for Avis and +1 303-342-3800 for Hertz. If your arrival changes significantly, contact your supplier and ask whether your reservation needs updating; don’t assume the change happens automatically.
Finally, separate shuttle hours from pickup hours when checking other suppliers. SIXT’s DEN page explicitly says its shuttle operates 24 hours daily, but that statement alone doesn’t establish counter availability or your reservation’s late-arrival terms. Your useful pre-flight question is simple: “Will I be able to complete pickup at my expected arrival time?”
