KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Atascadero

  • Renting a vehicle from one of the top car rentals in Atascadero would be a brilliant move, particularly if you'd like to tour the city extensively. With a rental, you will have complete privacy throughout your vacation. You'll also enjoy total independence for your trip, meaning you can drive to any destination you want, whether in the city or neighboring towns, at whatever time works best for you. Some neighboring towns you can easily reach with a rental from one of the car rentals in Atascadero include Templeton, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Oceano, Orcutt, and Los Alamos.
  • The nearest airport to Atascadero is San Luis Obispo Airport (SBP). At this airport, you can easily rent a car, given that it features counters for some Atascadero car rentals. The car rental companies include Avis, Enterprise, Budget, and Hertz. You won't need ground transportation to get to their counters and the rental pickup lot. This is as the counters are located in the terminal, a short distance from the baggage claim, whereas the pickup lot is also within walking distance.
  • In Atascadero, a majority of the road users in the city adhere to traffic regulations. However, some motorists usually flout rules whenever the chance arises, while some pedestrians tend to cross the road unexpectedly and expect not to be hit, especially on busy streets. With this in mind, to enjoy a smooth driving experience, maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you and watch for pedestrians.
  • Atascadero is a relatively quiet town. Hence, you will not experience heavy traffic unless you rent the vehicle between June and August. This is because foot and road traffic increases during these particular months due to the increased number of tourists. If you rent a vehicle during this period, it's safe to say that the traffic you'll come across will be mostly rentals by other visitors.
  • Book your car hire in Atascadero at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The location given to me by Kayak had been torn down. I had to call the 800 number to find the new office, and when I got there they were already closed. I cancelled the reservation and booked with Enterprise.

Pros:

The price was about the only thing I liked

Cons:

The pick up was a nightmare. I had to cross the highway with a suitcase and no sidewalks. The directions to the pick up weren't clear at all. I walked around forever before I actually found the right building. Then my car wasn't ready. The whole process took an hour and a half.

United Dropped me in DC and I had to Rent a Car to Drive myself home to VA Beach. I requested a FULL SIZE Car and got a Little KIA. It didn't even have Electric Seats or a Rear Window Wiper. The Driver who took us from Airport to Avis was Very Rude and insisted on playing his Radio Loud even when I explained I needed to Make an Important Phone Call.

Pickup was fast, good, well maintained. Car. Paperwork was a minimum. Drop off was during a huge rainstorm at Santa Barbara airport. They were Avis reps outside who took care of just about everything. Couldn't have been better under the circumstances.

Pros:

When I finally did get a car, it was clean and service at the new location I had to go to was efficient and friendly.

Cons:

I was called one hour before my scheduled pick up time (12pm) and was left a voicemail simply confirming my pick up time at 12pm. I happened to call back just to be courteous, and luckily I did because I was then told they did not have a car for me, but they *might* have one at 5pm. They said this as if it were no big deal at all. When I said that was not going to work for me, and requested that they find me a car in the area at a different location, I was told I would receive a call back in 5 minutes. The woman on the phone was extremely rude, unapologetic, and interrupted me repeatedly. A half hour later I had not received a call, so I called to follow up and was informed they had found a car for me, but apparently they had forgotten to call me back to tell me. I was told at this time that my car would be a minivan and not an economy car as I had requested. After arriving at the new location, I asked if they by any chance had an economy car, and was told oh yes no problem of course we do. I'm very confused about why this happened. I was offered no explanation, and was ignored when I asked for one. I was never apologized to and was treated as if this is a regular occurrence. I had scheduled my pick up a week in advance, and had several people depending on my being able to pick up the car at 12pm. This whole experience left me speechless. I have never experienced such poor customer service, and don't feel that I brought this on as I was extremely polite and respectful through my entire interaction with all Avis staff I encountered. I was offered no compensation for the stress and inconvenience of this ordeal and would like a response from your customer service department. Thank you.
