EZ car rental at Denver airport

Has anyone used EZ Rent A Car at Denver airport? It has the best price for when we're traveling, but you need to take a shuttle bus to get to them. Any experience dealing with EZ?

We haven't used them in Denver, but have all over Florida and are very impressed with their price, cars and service. The cost is much less than other rental agencies, cars ARE what they show on the websites and they have you go all over the rental before you leave, marking on a diagram what you think are dings, etc. so there is no controversy at return.

FYI--as far as I know you have to take a shuttle for any car rental at DIA.

I have rented from them once, at Orlando.
Our flying time from Philadelphia to Orlando was two and a half hours.
Time to finally get the car from EZ, about three hours.

Those three hours break down as follows:

-about one hour wait for the shuttle bus. ( eight Hertz buses vs. one EZ)

-stand in line in a dirty facility while the people in front yell and scream because they found out that EZ low price does not include ANY insurance.
Not the CDW, not the other usual stuff that others always try to sell, but the BASIC insurance which you must take or no car.
About one and a half hour before it is my turn to be plucked.

Charge for basic insurance is $23.00 day, take it or leave it unless, as the agent told me with a smirk, you have your own insurance that covers rentals. Per chance I happened to have it with me.

EZ was not happy with that turn of events. They could not charge me the extra fee but they ABSOLUTELY had to charge me $5.00 per day administration fee ( after calling my insurance company to confirm)

A "hunt and peck" typist prepared the paperwork and about half an hour later I had the car, a clean, brand new Ford Focus.

Car return was quick and efficient.

Wow. Good info. I had never heard of them.
I usually have gotten an acceptable price through Hotwire or Priceline.
And as everyone has said you have to take a shuttle bus to any of the rentals. and while the Hertz/Avis buses may come quicker, then there is the long line to stand in at the facility. There's a reason their buses are bigger!!
I have liked Enterprise best of all of them in Denver.
