KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in El Dorado Hills

  • There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in El Dorado Hills. Firstly, the city is a suburban area and relies heavily on private transportation. Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore the surrounding attractions at your own pace. Public transportation options in the area are also limited, and the bus service is infrequent. Having El Dorado Hills car rentals will also allow you to venture out to the nearby nature reserves and parks, such as Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. These parks are home to beautiful trails, lookout points, and picnic areas, and are best reached by car.
  • Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the closest airport to El Dorado Hills as it is located approximately 30 miles away. The rental car offices at SMF are located in a consolidated rental car terminal, which is accessible by a shuttle bus that picks up passengers at both terminals. The shuttle buses run every 10 minutes and take less than 5 minutes to reach the rental car terminal. Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK) is located roughly 60 miles from El Dorado Hills and is a smaller airport with limited options for rental cars. The airport only has one major rental car agency, which is located on site and does not require a shuttle service to reach.
  • Visitors can expect driving cheap car rentals in El Dorado Hills to be generally easy and straightforward, but there are a few things to keep in mind. One thing to look out for is wildlife on the roads. Since El Dorado Hills is located near nature reserves and parks, deer and other animals are often seen crossing the road. It's important to be aware of your surroundings and slow down if you see any animals near the road. Bicycles are fairly common on the roads, especially on weekends and in the summer months. Drivers should be careful when passing bikers and give them enough space.
  • The rush hour in El Dorado Hills usually occurs during weekdays from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. During these times, traffic can be heavy on the main roads such as Town Center Boulevard, El Dorado Hills Boulevard, and Highway 50. During the winter season, some areas around El Dorado Hills may experience snow and icy conditions, particularly at higher elevations. Driving cheap car rentals in El Dorado Hills in these conditions can be challenging and dangerous. In the rainy season, some roads may become slick and hazardous due to flooding or mudslides.

Pros:

By the time I arrived they offered an upgrade because of the high season they didn’t have the unit I asked for, and I didn’t take it because was going to increase my budget for the insurance, so they wanted to compensate searching for a unit in other location, but I was lucky that a client arrived with the unit I reserved

Cons:

Because of the hurry, the car was only vacuum, but the car wasn’t dirty outside

Cons:

The SUV I reserved was not there. Waited three and a half hours for resolution. Nothing. Couldn’t get one alternate vehicle because it needed an oil change. Couldn’t get a van because it needed registration renewal but it had permanent tags. Manager called corporate and person who could sign off didn’t return four phone messages in those three and a half hours. Left very upset with no vehicle.

Pros:

If you aren't using the third row the storage capacity is fantastic (which is what we did). Very smooth ride, with an amazing turning radius. It was a pleasure to drive.

Cons:

Apparently the bluetooth was disabled. That is unfortunate as we like to ensure we are safely handsfree. It is big so we were concerned about getting into tight spaces but we didn't have any issues.

Scheduled a noon pickup. Arrived at 12:40pm. Unbeknownst to me, the facility closes at 12:30pm. What business ever shuts down on the half hour. As a result I was charged $50 for a “non-cancel”. Of course, there was no intent to cancel. But none the less, I’ve been assessed a fee. F***ing stupid algorithmic business practice. “Oh, the system won’t let me change that.” Never again.
