KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Eureka

  • Driving in your car rental in Eureka will be the quickest and most convenient way to view the sites in the area. Another reason hiring a vehicle service is preferable to taking the bus is because some bus routes only run during rush hour. This is one of the reasons why. If you want to see more of Eureka and the surrounding region than you could if you relied on public transit or walked everywhere, renting a car is your best choice since you can go to more places and see more things. Walking alone will not get you very far if you are interested in seeing more.
  • Arcata/Eureka (ACV) Airport provides car rental in Eureka, and passengers may pick up their rental cars inside the airport terminal. There are a lot of different automobile rental agencies to choose from, some of which are Avis, Budget, Thrifty, and Hertz, to mention a few. As a result, you are being given the strong recommendation that you rent a car at this airport. In certain countries, the minimum age limit for car renting is just 18 years old. In addition, having a credit card and a driver's license that are both in good standing are requirements for daily life. In addition to the driver's license issued by their home country, drivers from countries other than the United States and the United Kingdom will need an International Driver's Permit.
  • The roads are in great shape, and most of the drivers in the area are kind and courteous, making it a snap to go about in a rental car in Eureka and explore the surrounding area. Everyone in the city has to maintain a heightened state of vigilance since the heart of the town is traversed by each of the city's major thoroughfares. When driving in Eureka, you should provide at least three seconds of distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, signal your turns as early and as loudly as possible, and remain in the lane that you are in. If you follow these guidelines, you should find that your driving time is far less stressful.
  • It is the responsibility of renters of Eureka car rentals to be aware that pedestrians often cross roadways without first checking that traffic is in both directions. There are periods throughout the day when it is more likely that certain Eureka streets may be very crowded. Consistently difficult-to-navigate traffic conditions prevail in the city's core business district. Seven to nine a.m. and four to six p.m. are the busiest hours on the highways.
  • Book your car hire in Eureka at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Eureka are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Eureka?

    Consider the number of persons in your group while searching for a rental vehicle in Eureka. If you often travel long distances, you may find that renting a car is more cost-effective than purchasing one. However, reserving a minivan is your best bet if you are traveling with more than two people. When selecting a rental car, plan according to your travel schedule. Renting a midsize SUV is your best choice if you want to see parts of the country inaccessible by air, rail, or vehicle.

  • What's the speed limit in Eureka?

    More than a few roads in Eureka have been outfitted with high-tech video cameras, so motorists should be extra cautious and maintain a constant pace. Remember that there are different speed restrictions in other parts of Eureka. Commonly, the speed limit in a city is 50 mph but reduces to 40 mph after you exit the city limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Eureka?

    Eureka has several public parking garages and lots, so you will not have to stress about finding a spot. Do not stress if you think you could eventually fill up your cellar. There are several parking garages and lots in the area, including the one at Eureka Old Town Parking. The charges here are some of the lowest you will find for parking, and the garage is constantly monitored and secure.

The absolute rudest counter person I've ever met. Apparently she is bothered by coming to work.

Pros:

The staff called me just a few hours before my rental to inform me that they had no vehicles available except for one van I asked if they could give me the Vin for the price of my reservation and they said no so I was unable to get to the places I needed to this weekend with my family.

Cons:

They shouldn’t have had vehicles available on their website if they weren’t really available. And if they are going to cancel someone’s reservation they should at least first offer the vehicle that you have for the same price of the reservation

Would have been nice for the location to actually be open. Was closed- called budget to help and was told I could go to another car car rental agency- waited almost an hour for someone to show up- when she arrived she was extremely rude and flippant. Will not use budget again. The person at the enterprise counter was extremely helpful and apologetic. They will get my business from now on
