Ford Excursion — roomy SUV for cruising
The offering is simple: a Ford Excursion to ‘cruise around’ Salida and the surrounding high country — a spacious SUV meant for a comfortable day or multi‑day rental from Rocky Mountain Jeep Rentals.
Start early, be back by dark
All rentals nominally start at 8:30 a.m. (you may pick up later if you indicate your arrival time), and every rental is due back by the time it is dark on the day of the rental; multi‑day vehicles stay overnight but must be returned by dark on the final day. SUVs and cars are charged by 24‑hour periods—no half‑day rentals.
Driver paperwork, payments and delivery
Each driver must bring an insurance card showing full coverage, a valid driver’s license and a credit card. Cash payments earn a 4% discount. Delivery is available throughout Chaffee County (Salida airport pickup is supported; Buena Vista deliveries carry a small charge), and the operator will deliver to many motels and B&Bs with prior arrangement.
