Colorado West Jeep Rentals

My husband and I rented a jeep last week and LOVED our experience. Colorado West was a wonderful, easy company to rent from. We picked it up at 7am and had to return it by 5pm (clean and full of gas– they will direct you to a gas station to power wash the jeep). Our jeep was a soft-​top, two-​door with no back windows. We had an awesome day exploring the San Juan Mountains with the top down.
If you are debating renting a jeep– do! The memories will last a lifetime. :)

Jeff and family run a first class business. Everything they rent is new. From the minute we walked in to rent a vehicle, we were treated like we were their only customer. Took time to explain the map and where the best trails were — even suggested a place to eat lunch in Silverton (which was great, by the way!). I like doing business with people who seem to genuinely want you to have a good time. They truly deserve all the high marks their customers give them.

We blew a tire on our Jeep going up the road to Animas Forks out of Eureka. With the help of a nice young man from Houston, we changed our tire and headed back down the road to Ouray.
We stopped into Colorado West Jeeps on Mainstreet to ask if they could help us with our tire. Even though we were not renting from them, the owner went out of his way to help us out. He plugged up our ruined tire and got is back on the highway.
Good people.

The HIGHLIGHT of our trip! Owner Jeff worked with us to customize a tour for our group of 8. Driver Don was very safe and knowledgable of the area.
For our large group, the private tour was perfect. Your group can choose where you want to go. We just told Don we wanted to see color and have a fun ride. We were amazed with every turn.

I rented a jeep here last weekend. All of the employees were extremely friendly. They told us where to go to have fun off roading and see great views. They were also very flexible about the return time. We forgot to put gas in when we returned it and they let us get gad and come back.

I visited Ouray Colorado for the first time after 40 years of visits here for sling, my biking, cycling, hiking and everything else that’s awesome about the Colorado experience. What I had never done before was experience the Colorado high. Punter by ATV! It is simply awesome. The most enjoyable experience of corado I have ever had.
After stumbling across Ouray by accident we saw all the jeeps and heard all these rumors about how cool this place was by ATV. WE HAD TO CHECK IT OUT.
we met the people at. Colorado west jeep and ATV rentals and just asked them what the off road situation was. We told them we have a 4×4 truck and we’re just curious.
They were awesome. They explained all the trails, options we might want to try on our own an never tried to sell us a thing. There just great people.
Rather than use my own truck we decided to rent a 4 person RZR off road ATV.
We did a full day on our own, with their input and guidance of what to see and where to go. We have an 11 year old and a 5 year old. The four of us had what I would consider to be the best Colorado high country experience I’ve ever had. The mining roads above Ouray and silverton are breath taking.
Colorado west are genuinely kind people, the equipment is great, they are honest and fair and deliver on what they promise. I would definitely go back to them again. And will.
Thanks for an incredible new. Plot ado experience «Colorado west»!
Expect to see many of my Wisconsin ATV friends coming to visit you soon.

Talk about exceeding expectations!!! I can’t praise this place enough. Family owned business that is totally devoted to customer service. Just incredible. The jeep tour to Yankee Boy basin was out of this world. Our tour guide Don was remarkable and we would like to come back just for the experience he gave us!!! Spectacular views and memories that will last a lifetime. Don’t go with any other company.

We rented a Jeep over Memorial weekend. We called ahead of time to rent a RZR 4 seater, but due to the rainy/​hail/​snowy weather on the day of our arrival Jeff suggested taking a Jeep, which was a great choice. He was very accommodating and helpful the entire time.
The rental rate was very inexpensive and the Jeep we got only had 200 miles on it. I will go back and see him each time we are in Colorado :)

This review is way overdue, but still it deserves to be written. I was in the Sneffels Wilderness for some photography in my own ’94 Toyota pickup. It was a very capable 4×4 vehicle outfitted with a winch, though the tread on the tires were a little worn down. It was getting late in the day, and I found myself way off the beaten path on an old dead-​end mining road. It had been raining throughout the day, but it really picked up in the evening, and my balding tires just wouldn’t grip enough to pull the old beater up a pretty rough section of the trail. There were no trees to anchor to, and the only boulders would have come down on my truck had I used them. After a few attempts, I decided to stay put and make camp in hopes that the rain would let up over night; I would try again in the morning. Unfortunately, it rained nonstop, and when I woke up the next morning, the road had turned into a small stream. I gave it another shot, but soon decided to hike into town to see if I could find someone to drive to the spot so I could hook up to their bumper and winch out.
This is where Jeff, one of the owners from Colorado West Jeep Rentals, saved the day! I explained the situation, and he offered to take his personal vehicle up to scene to give me a hand. Ultimately, the job required both the length of my cable and another tow rope that Jeff had. Due to the slick trail, we both had to drive forward in low gear while I winched myself free. I’m extremely grateful for Colorado West Jeep Rentals. Of course, had circumstances been different — perhaps mid-​summer during the high season — they may not have been able to step away from their business. They certainly had no obligation to help, but I’m very thankful Jeff was there to help me out.
While I didn’t rent a jeep from them, their willingness to help out shows the class and compassion with which this company operates. I would highly recommend them, and if ever I do need a jeep in Ouray, I will definitely use them!

Steve was great. Very attentive to all needs and well informed, answering all our questions and giving information on history.
Not a jeep, but a truck that fits many more. We had a private tour. Just the family.
Colorado weather, sun, rain, sun, rain, hail, sun, rain and then more sun.
Prepared for everything and anything, coats, blankets, covers for the vehicle. Made sure we were comfortable the whole way
Great views, saw some critters and Steve took photos of and for the family.
Great job!

We did contact the owners of this company a few days later and they were very apologetic and offered another trip for free but our group was already heading home. The owners are very kind and will work with you if you have any problems.

We had a great experience renting the owner’s personal Jeep. We didn’t reserve ahead of time so didn’t expect much leeway in rental options. Jeff, the owner, told us the only rental he had was his personal Jeep at $ 300/​day. He didn’t do a hard sell on us. He suggested a few trails we could do in our own SUV that wouldn’t have made any money for him. We decided to rent his personal Jeep Rubicon for a day. It was an awesome machine. We got great advice from him on which trails to try and had a really fun day. We’ll definitely rent from Colorado West Jeeps again.

Rent their jeep twice on back to back days. They were courteous and very helpful! Jeep in great shape and price was reasonable.

be careful of this place. some friends rented from here and did not receive a preliminary damage check (a walk around). the place then called and billed them for a new bumper even though the dent could have easily been popped out. They also claimed that there were scratches all over the roof, but we never went under low hanging branches. Lucky for them my friends were too nice with them. The jeep had five hundred miles on it. Very low mileage, but enough for someone else to do that stuff. Even if this is all an honest mistake, the complete lack of professionalism the company exhibited warrants a very low rating. They get two stars for a working jeep.

The jeeps were ok. The views from the jeep were awesome. The employees at rental establishment in Ouray are horrible. I highly recommend renting from another business. Jeeps are a commodity. You can rent them anywhere. Customer service is not offered here. I will never ever go back and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE STAY AWAY.

Great staff, super helpful and nice new Jeeps!!! We rented two Jeeps for one day and they were ready to go at 5:00 and we got to keep them the whole evening and the next day til 5pm. The jeeps were brand new 2013 and they were cleaned and detailed when we went to pick them up. We spoke with Jeff and he was super helpful throughout the whole rental process. Thanks again Colorado West Jeep!!!

This was totally fun. I’ve been on my share of Jeep rides and this was a great one. Request Steve as your driver. He is fun, talkative and shares lots of info about the area. Most importantly — he is a safe driver — very important when you are choosing a jeep company up here in this area.

An amazing tour at a reasonable price. Hal was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable, courteous, and very helpful. I am physically challenged and he assisted me in getting into and out of the tour vehicle. Management (both father and son) were very courteous and accommodating.

Fail. Fail. FAIL!
Even when you call ahead and make reservations for the Ouflaw Cookout by The River 3 WEEKS IN ADVANCE, they randomly cancel on you.
When this happened in 2009, I decided to just let it go. Well, well… here we are in 2011 and they DID IT AGAIN! Except this year, they are taking some people and not others (i.e. US).
They had our reservation card — but for some unexplained reason (again!)we are not being allowed to go. No explanation. No excuses. Just some crotchety old fart in the office who could give a rats ass on whether you are happy or not. Nice work on disappointing the kids on this one, Clark.
If I can’t trust you with a dinner reservation, then why would I ever rent equipment from you? Yep… I WON’T!
