  • 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 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.

They didn't show me how to operate the vehicle [a VW Bug]. I couldn't figure out how to start it. When I tried loading my belongings to leave for airport I couldn't open the trunk, couldn't move the seats forward [to place bags in rear]. In the end I had to drive with my luggage on top of me in the two front seats. Crazee.

Worst costumer service I ever experienced. The seat on the car was broken, and they wouldn’t refund me. The associate was incompetent and very unprofessional. I will never rent with them again.

efficient return at LAX however when I returned to my hotel I noticed that I was charged $105 more than my original agreement. When I called Budget (Customer Service is not available 24/7) I was told the difference was because I returned the car one hour early!!! But, they would go ahead and "honor" the original agreement. I have never had this problem with National or Heryz

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.

We were given a car that had a bad wheelbearing and they refused to replace the car. They didn't honor the second driver added and gave her a bad time even though she had all the paperwork on her. It took several calls and days for us to get a new car. This made the trip longer, ran into weather and had to pay them more money to extend the rental. It is a huge safety issue and most of the people we spoke to at Hertz was very lackadaisical. Would any of them let a loved one drive a car like that? The sound it made couldn't even be drowned out with the radio. There were a couple employees that I got that went above what they could. Roadside couldn't even get a car replaced for us because management wouldn't approve it. It was just absurd. I will never use Hertz or one of their other companies again knowing that they do not care about their clients safety. Ordering through Kayak was easy and great.

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.

Pros:

Drop off was easy.

Cons:

Staff wasn’t very friendly, complained that we weren’t sharp on time and she said she hoped she still had a car left for us although we had already paid. Proceeded to act surprise that there was a car left and didn’t even say which model or if same size that we had paid for. No information regarding vehicle and then said they would need to clean it now. Was a very quick clean. Probably not up to current standards. Also if cars are just standing around, wouldn’t they have had time to clean them?
