KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Folsom

  • Using car hire in Folsom gives you total control over your travel. You can enjoy unparalleled and comfortable sightseeing in Folsom as you do not have to bother with bus schedules. Public transportation can be frustrating and expensive, especially when travelling with your family. Drive your hire car to nearby cities such as Sacramento, which is around 29 km (18 miles) away from Folsom, Stockton, roughly 80 km (50 miles) away, Modesto, around 116 km (72 miles) away, and Fremont, about 143 km (89 miles) away.
  • Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is about 36 km (22 miles) from Folsom. Hiring cars from the airport provides convenient transit without dealing with the hassle of public transportation. You can find all the Folsom car hire companies’ counters at the designated shuttle stops. The shuttles take passengers to the hire car facility, from where you can choose your agency. Consider making a reservation at least one day before you arrive in order to get a below-average price. Available car hire agencies at the airport include Alamo, Dollar, Budget, Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and National.
  • Using car hire in Folsom is relatively easy as the roads are in good condition, but can be hectic when residents are busy shopping or going to eateries. If it is your first time visiting Folsom, be mindful of motorists and cyclists and give them the right of way when necessary to avoid accidents. The city allows pedestrians to jaywalk safely. This can be tricky and you need to be careful on the road. Therefore, stop when approaching crossways and prioritise them to promote road safety.
  • While the roads in Folsom are great, they can get congested when people leave for and from work. These hours depend on several factors, but rush hour in Folsom is generally from 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 on weekdays. If you do not want to get stuck in traffic for more than an hour, avoid travelling during these hours. You can use several alternative roads if you must travel during rush hour.
  • Book your car hire in Folsom at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size hire cars in Folsom are around 6% cheaper than other car types, on average

However, a small car is great since it is cheaper than most other cars and does not consume much fuel.

In residential areas and special zones such as school zones and near playgrounds, the speed limit drops to 25 mph. These special speed limits are meant for the safety of pedestrians and children.

The staff was very accommodating and it was a convenient and easy pick-up and drop off location. We had an issue with our rental car and upon return, they were very quick to credit us a day since we had to drive out of our way during our vacation and lost time in order to swap out the car in Las Vegas NV. We will ONLY rent with Enterprise!

Car was not clean however the rental car location will refund you if you want to get the car washed yourself. Seems like they would make cleaning part of their service these days.

Hertz told me that Kayak screwed up by giving me a reservation. When I got to Hertz, they told me they had absolutely no vehicles available to me. It was extremely frustrating to need to scramble to find a car at another company. Thank goodness I wasn’t trying to get to an airport for a flight. I will NEVER use Kayak again for anything.

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.

They need more customer service reps. Took about 20 minutes of waiting in line just to hand someone my keys.

Hertz had had no car for me, no apology, and no compensation offer. Some 20 others before me who also had reservations also got no car. I was fortunate enough to find an Avis/Budget rental location (Folsom, E. Bidwell St) with a car, but paid more than triple by walking in day-of with no reservation.

Rental counter closed at noon. Rental started at noon. Office closed before noon. Major plan adjustments and expenses needed to make it to work on time.

The vehicle wasn’t ready - it hadn’t been cleaned. The drop off at the Redding airport was awkward. No good instructions on how to drop off.

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.
