KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Calexico

  • Car rentals in Calexico have numerous advantages for travelers exploring the city and its surrounding areas. Firstly, a rental car offers convenience and flexibility, enabling visitors to navigate through Calexico on their schedule. It also benefits day trips to nearby destinations, such as the Salton Sea, a unique ecological site approximately 40 miles away that is not easily accessible with public transport. Moreover, for those interested in exploring the natural beauty of Joshua Tree National Park, situated around 150 miles from Calexico, a rental car is the optimal choice to embark on long journeys.
  • Calexico depends on the Imperial County Airport (IPL) as the closest entry point into the city. When considering car rentals in Calexico upon arrival at Imperial County Airport, be advised to book in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak travel times. The rental car offices are located within the airport terminal building, providing convenient access. Upon arriving at IPL, proceed to the baggage claim area with the required documentation to access car rental desks. Some rental companies available are Enterprise, Budget, Avis and Alamo.
  • Driving in the city requires awareness of local road conditions and traffic dynamics for a smooth ride, especially for car rentals in Calexico. Streets like Imperial Avenue and Cole Road can be busy, demanding attention to pedestrian crossings and potential jaywalking. The presence of commercial vehicles and agricultural equipment on streets like Highway 98 underscores the importance of staying vigilant and patient. While Calexico generally has straightforward road layouts, intersections like those on Imperial Avenue can experience congested pedestrian movements.
  • Navigating through the city may be challenging for car rentals in Calexico during specific times of the day. The morning traffic congestion starts from 7 am to 9 am while the evening traffic congestion is from 4 pm to 6 pm. Streets like Imperial Avenue, Cole Road, and Highway 111 often experience heavy traffic during these times, impacting commute times. The intersection of Cole Road and State Route 111 can become particularly congested. To mitigate traffic, Calexico car rental users should use alternative routes like Rockwood Avenue and Rancho Frontera Avenue as they can provide relief.
