We highly recommend renting a vehicle from Colorado 145. From past experience, we knew it was close to impossible to rent a 4WD vehicle from the big name car rental companies. Last year, when we thought we had one reserved, we arrived in SLC to learn that the big names don't guarantee that a SUV rental is 4WD. So, when we planned a ski trip to Telluride this year, I specifically searched for 4WD rental agencies. I found Colorado 145 and I am SO HAPPY we found them. We had a long drive to the slopes every day over a dirt road that had almost a foot of snow on it. The Subaru Outback that we got from Colorado 145 handled it with ease. The car was almost new and was outfitted with Arctic Claw tires. We had the ski rack on top and were able to fit our family of 4 and all of our ski gear well, including two large guys (one 6'7"). As it turned out, we were also one of the unlucky thousands of people affected by the flight cancellations around the holidays. Colorado 145 worked with us to enable us to drive all the way to Denver with the vehicle. This meant them driving over 12 hours to pick up the Subaru at the Denver airport. I don't think any other company would do this for a customer. It was amazing customer service and we feel forever indebted to them. The pick up of the car at the Montrose airport when we arrived could not have been easier. It was waiting for us only steps from the baggage claim. The price was right, more than half off the big name car rental companies. They were responsive to texts immediately when we asked questions, including after our flight was canceled. You will not go wrong renting from Colorado 145.

My wife and I flew into Montrose and drove to Ouray for our 15th wedding anniversary for a Jeeping trip. Colorado 145 dropped the jeep off at the airport in Montrose, texted me pictures and instructions the morning of the day I was due to pick it up (You don't end up paying any airport rental car taxes since they are not officially an airport rental service).
I was shocked when I received the pictures! I had reserved a Jeep Rubicon. However, I was shocked to see a rubicon with front soft top over driver/passenger, 35" tires, and a suspension lift kit upgrade. We walked out the Montrose airport, followed the pictures to where the jeep was parked, opened it per the instructions, only to find it was also a high end trim package with leather, heated seats etc...
I did quite a bit of research prior and NO ONE else offered upgraded jeeps and most were base trim packages interior as well. On top of that there was no big tacky logo/website across the window, obscuring the view.
So instead of a rental car, and then paying to rent a jeep for one day to up on the trails, on top of the rental car, we had a top of the line, upgraded jeep for 4 days in the mountain as our rental car and to go on trails whenever we wanted.
The service was incredible, in addition they helped me with several questions on trails, and surrounding area. At the end I dropped it off back at the airport and texted them pictures of where it was parked and walked into the airport with our bags.
Whether jeeping, hiking trip, skiing in Telluride, or ice climbing in Ouray, this is where to get your rental jeep from! (We got ours in Montrose but they have a location in Telluride too)

Being from Colorado, we thought a 4-wheel road up Imogene Pass wouldn't be a big deal, but Tomboy Rd definitely got my heart pumping and was sketchier than I had expected. That said, Colorado 145 was great. They accommodated my reluctance to email a copy of my drivers license through unsecured email and handled the documentation at the garage where the Jeep was parked. This was all done with appropriate distancing. Steve was very friendly and helpful and made the pick up and drop off easy. The vehicle was a little well-used. A couple of little things inside were broken, but it was very clean and smelled somewhat of cleaning solution, which is a good thing in these COVID days. Overall great time and great company.

Had a great experience! The Jeep itself was clean and well maintained and got us through: Imogene Pass, California Gulch, and Corkscrew Gulch. Communication with Steve was prompt and clear, he provided a map and flexible pick-up times. LOVE that they are dog friendly as we were camping so had no place to keep our dog otherwise. Would definitely use them again and look forward to it!!

Excellent experience all the way around pick up & drop off could not have been easier. The Jeep was clean when we picked up, they were very quick to respond to our questions and give us trail recommendations. Highly recommend Colorado 145 and would use them again if we return to telluride

FANTASTIC!! Steve and his wife could not be nicer or more accomidating. The jeeps are brand new 2020's with all the toys and whistles. The tires left us feeling safe and moving along on the wildest of trails. HIs prices were the best in the valley, and his service was top notch. I normally do not write reccommendations but felt motivated to support Steve and his operations.

Rented a Suburu from Colorado 145. Car was excellent and clean. It helped us to get through a snowstorm on the way to Telluride. Unfortunately our flight got cancelled for our flight home. The Montrose airport had a tower issue and all flights were cancelled. Our only option to get home the next day was to drive to Grand Junction to get a flight out. The biggest problem was we didn’t have our own car. We called Steve and he was extremely helpful and accommodating. He worked with us to come up with a plan for us to leave the car in Grand Junction for Colorado 145 to pickup. We were blown away to be honest. It would have been really easy for him to say no and save himself a lot of trouble. Steve was also super friendly and understanding, taking time to talk to us about our options. We can’t say enough about the positive experience we had with Colorado 145. Excellent car, excellent customer service, excellent all around.

Absolutely fantastic experience in every way. I had a very detailed review planned but then realized it’s completely unnecessary.
There isn’t a better rental company anywhere on earth. Stop looking, stop comparing, book with Diff.
* Top shelf condition and clean as a whistle
* More than reasonable rates
* A billionaire wouldn’t get better service from his/her personal butler
* They deliver and pick-up from YOUR location, not their location
I own a rental company in Arizona and we are fantastic at what we do. Diff makes me want to be better

Outstanding service!!!! Outstanding Jeeps!!!! Outstanding Trip.
Steve at Colorado145 was extremely helpful in planning our day and the touchless service was greatly appreciated. Great value as well. We had a Rubicon (even though we only booked a sport) for the day and it was way cheaper than the tours. We did Imogene pass to Ouray and returned by the Ophir pass - with lots of stops and lunch it was about 6 hours. The only mistake we made was lining up for the car wash without a ticket.
if you have a moderate amount of experience, Imogene Pass will challenge you and reward you with breathtaking views.

We rented a Jeep for our week in Telluride. We fit 2 adults, an infant carrier, and 2 booster seats easily. It was so easy and convenient picking up the Jeep at the Montrose Airport. They are MUCH better priced than the other rental places in Montrose. Steve was super friendly and helpful!
