About Renting a Car at Denver Central Park

Denver Central Park, formerly known as Stapleton, is a modern neighborhood development east of downtown with 2 car rental agencies in one of Denver's most planned residential districts.

The Central Park neighborhood is 8 km east of Denver's center along Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. From here, it's 15 minutes to Denver International Airport and 10 minutes to City Park with Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
