KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Citrus Heights

  • There are plenty of reliable car rentals in Citrus Heights. Renting a car from one is wise if you want to tour the city extensively. With a rental car, you'll be able to move from one attraction to another directly. You'll also easily reach attractions in the neighboring towns of Florin, Vineyard, North Auburn, Olivehurst, and Alta Sierra.
  • The closest airport to Citrus Heights is Sacramento International Airport (SMF). You can rent a car with ease at this air transit hub, given that it hosts locations for several car rentals in Citrus Heights, including Alamo, Avis, Dollar, Budget, Hertz, Thrifty, National, Payless, Zipcar, and Enterprise. The counters for the agencies are in the rental car building, connected to the airport's terminals via free shuttles.
  • In Citrus Heights, you can count on enjoying a smooth driving experience. Most motorists in this city adhere to road regulations. However, keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead doesn't hurt. You don't have to worry about struggling for space with pedestrians or cyclists within the city limits, given that roads here feature well-paved pedestrian and cyclist paths. Although the same can be said for roads outside the city limits, it is better to look out for cyclists and pedestrians, as the streets here are narrow and full of corners.
  • Like every other major city in the USA with a relatively large population, Citrus Heights experiences heavy traffic in two waves. The first wave is usually from 6:00 am to 9:00 am, while the second wave usually begins at about 5:00 pm and lasts till 7:00 pm. During these periods, it's best to avoid the main streets in the city. If you must drive during these times before commencing your trip, check your navigation system to find the least congested routes.
  • Book your car hire in Citrus Heights at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Citrus Heights are around 51% cheaper than other car types, on average

Consider renting an economy rental if you're traveling alone and on a budget, given that economy rentals are cheap to fuel. You should settle on a standard or intermediate rental if you plan on using the vehicle with one or two other loved ones, and an intermediate or standard SUV is if you want to drive on the popular off-road trails near the city. With an SUV from any of the top Citrus Heights car rentals, some of the notable off-road trails you can enjoy a drive on include Shirttail Canyon, an easy-rated trail that stretches 23.5 miles; Boman Lake, a partly paved and partly rocky trail that stretches 16.7 miles; and Barlett Springs Road, a 9.6-mile road that begins southeast of Mendocino National Forest.

    In Citrus Heights, you shouldn't exceed 25 mph in residential neighborhoods, school zones when children are present, and construction zones. When on the main roads within the city limits, like Antelope Road, Old Auburn Road, and Sunrise Boulevard, you should not exceed 40 mph. Since speed limits are heavily enforced in this city, to avoid unnecessary drama with local traffic police, ensure you adhere to the limits at all times.

  • What are the best places to park in Citrus Heights?

    Within Citrus Heights, there are various public streets with metered parking spaces you can take advantage of. Generally, metered spaces require payment starting at 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on all days but Sunday. In most areas, meter payments and time zone regulations are not in effect on Sunday. The operating hours for meters on streets with Residential Parking Permits differ from the operating hours for meters on normal public streets. Hence, ensure you check the meter screen or posted signage on the part of the block you leave your rental.

They didn’t even have a car for me. I had to go to a different location and they tried to charge me with thousand dollars more. I love getting it talk down to a lower price but it was still over $100 more than the price I’m supposed to pay.

I arrived at hertz and they told me they had no cars available. I told them I had a reservation. They said sorry they have nothing. I told them I had a reservation they didn’t care. I had used an Uber to get to this location. So I didn’t have a ride to another location to rent a car. I asked them if they could arrange for a car at another one of their locations. I was told to inquire on my own their was nothing they could do to help. I asked them if they could get me a ride to another location they told me no. Customer Service at its best! I ended up paying for another Uber to the airport in Sacramento. Which cost me another $44. I made sure not to rent from hertz. Nobody said sorry or tried to make anything right ????? I guess this is how hertz does business.
