Cheap car hire at Bakersfield Meadows Field airport
Top tips for hiring a car at Bakersfield Meadows Field airport
- On your next flight to Kern County, California, consider booking a car rental at Meadows Field Airport (BFL), so you can explore the region on your own terms. With a rented automobile, you get in the driver's seat immediately after deboarding the aircraft. Unlike shuttles that are relatively far from BFL premises, rental cars are parked on site. Grab your keys at one of the three parking lots reserved for car rental companies.
- From Highway 99, exit at the 7th Standard Road and turn east. Keep walking for about 1.5 miles, following the arrivals signs. On the right side are the baggage claim area and the pick-up counters where to grab the keys. The car lot is about 200 feet from the baggage claim area. Provide your driver's license and take the pre-printed documents with all the terms and conditions. The return location is at the same address for pick-up (3701 Wings Way, Bakersfield, CA 93308). Of course, you can’t always return the car during working hours. For after-hours return, park and lock the vehicle, then place the keys and the contract form in the drop box. When returning the car after midnight, you can count on security guards at the rental center to open the door for you. Plus, there is always a key person or manager to escort you to the car park.
- Bakersfield has its charms and fun things to do. And you're probably wondering if your car rental at Meadows Field Airport offers unlimited mileage. It is possible to book a car with unlimited mileage through KAYAK. After all, you want to see all your desired attractions without restrictions regarding the distance you can cover. Check out the best deals for mileage and book as early as possible to start making plans for your Bakersfield getaway.
- A rental company usually requires renters to present credit cards or debit cards with sufficient funds to cover a security deposit and any applicable charge not covered in the prepaid voucher. Ensure you have a valid international credit card but avoid third-party cards because not all rental agencies accept such. Whether your mode of payment is approved or not is entirely up to the rental supplier.
- Book your car hire at Bakersfield Meadows Field airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about hiring a car at Bakersfield Meadows Field airport
Can another person drive my car rental at Meadows Field Airport?
Depending on the rental agreement, you may be allowed to have an additional driver. This means your loved one can drive the rented vehicle if they meet the required standards. First, confirm if there's an additional fee for this option at the counter. Each driver must have an original driver's license. An international driver's permit is recommended if the DL is not in the languages used by Meadows Field Airport car rental companies. The other important document for all drivers is an official identity card or passport.
What amenities are available in the car rental center at Bakersfield Meadows Field Airport?
Since the rental counters are within the premises of BFL Airport, the on-site cafes and bars also cater to car renters. Order some take-away or sit down to grab something at the eateries. Before riding in a rental vehicle, you are free to attend to your pet's needs at the pet comfort station near the car park. Remember to buy yourself or a loved one some goodies at a gift shop next to the car rental center.
Do you need insurance before renting a car at Meadows Field Airport?
Personal safety is crucial, and so is insurance coverage. However, car rental providers are not obligated to evaluate your existing coverage and its adequacy. So, before you rent a car at BFL Airport, inquire from your insurance provider whether you are covered while riding on a rental vehicle. If you are afraid your existing policy doesn't cover your travel through California, consider buying extra coverage through the car supplier. Beware of restrictions on large vehicles.
Which car hire companies will pick you up at Bakersfield Meadows Field airport?

Pros:
My son lives in Ridgecrest, two hours away. Traveling by yourself is stressful enough, so I like the convenience that Enterprise is right in the terminal. As a women driving by myself, it gives me such peace of mind that I will arrive safely. The cars have always been clean, new and ran perfectly. I will continue to use them and Kayak for my travel needs.Cons:

Pros:
They helped out.Cons:
They never told me to bring a credit card to pay for the rental. I have a debit/ master card and I couldn’t pay for the rental with this card. I had to drive 25 minutes back to may house to get my credit card. This was very inconvenient. All they need to state on the agreement or reservation would be “only credit cards accepted for rentals” “ no debit/ credit cards accepted”. No where did it state this.10,0 Wonderful

The cars speakers were messed up, the light for the clock and stereo system didn’t work, there was no back up camera. Most of all the steel light bugged me as I couldn’t see anything on there and then on the last day the light appears! So dumb10,0 Wonderful
