Hotels near DIA with rental car service

Hi everyone, curious if anyone knows of a hotel close to the airport with shuttle service that has a rental car agency in or next to the hotel. We have an extremely early flight so it seems to make sense to return the car night before and stay in hotel and just take shuttle

If you have an extremely early flight from Denver International Airport (DIA) and want to return your rental car the night before, staying at a nearby hotel with shuttle service and on-site or adjacent rental car facilities is a convenient option. Several hotels cater to this exact need.

Here are some good options near DIA:

  • Hyatt Place Denver Airport: Offers a free airport shuttle, and while it does not have a rental car agency inside the hotel, several major rental car companies are located just a few minutes away in the airport’s rental car center. The hotel is convenient for returning a car the night before and catching an early flight.
  • Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver International Airport: Complimentary shuttle to DIA and close proximity to the airport rental car center. The hotel offers spacious suites, which can be helpful if you have luggage or family members.
  • Hampton Inn & Suites DIA: Provides a free airport shuttle, and the DIA rental car center is a short drive. Many guests return cars and stay overnight here without issue.
  • Homewood Suites by Hilton Denver International Airport: Features airport shuttle service and is near the rental car return area, making early morning departures convenient.

Tips for planning your early flight night stay:

  • Contact the hotel in advance to confirm shuttle schedules, especially if your flight is very early in the morning (before 5 AM).
  • Coordinate with your rental car company—most allow overnight returns with key drop boxes if the counter is closed, which is ideal for early flights.
  • Book a hotel within 5–10 minutes of the airport to minimize early morning transit time.

In summary, hotels near DIA like Hyatt Place, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, and Homewood Suites are all convenient for a last-night stay after returning a rental car. They provide free shuttle service to the airport and are close enough to the rental car center to make early morning departures stress-free. Planning ahead with both the hotel and rental agency ensures a smooth process.
