On average, car rentals in Pueblo cost around $84 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $26 per day.
Shop locations, not just cars. Downtown Pueblo counters skip the ~11 % airport surcharge and often beat PUB prices, as long as you can work with their shorter hours.
Play with dates in the search box. Mid-week pickups or fall/spring travel can shave $5-$15 a day compared with peak-summer weekends.
Check weekly rates even for 5-6 days. In Pueblo an advertised "7-day special" can cost less than a 5-day pay-per-day booking.
Return where you picked up. Dropping in Denver or Colorado Springs is handy but usually adds a $50-$150 one-way fee; keeping it local keeps that cash in your pocket.
