  • When you visit Lincoln, California, car rentals in Lincoln are an excellent choice that’ll guarantee you have a positive experience. Unlike rigidly scheduled public transportation, rental cars in Lincoln provide convenience and flexibility, allowing you to effortlessly explore the city’s attractions and the popular sites in surrounding areas. With a Lincoln car rental, you can venture beyond the immediate vicinity and discover more of what the region offers.

  • When you fly to Lincoln, you’ll likely land at Sacramento International Airport (SMF), which is approximately 33 miles from Lincoln by road. Rental-car companies at Sacramento International Airport can be found at the rental-car terminal on the airport premises. The rental-car shuttle, operating on airport property, stops at designated locations on the ground level outside both terminals at approximately 10-minute intervals. You can also make a reservation for the rental car you want on the airport’s website before your flight.
  • When driving car rentals in Lincoln, planning your trips is essential if you want to navigate the city efficiently. Familiarize yourself with major roads and landmarks to help with navigation.

Stay updated on road closures or construction work that might affect your car trips. Consider using navigation apps or GPS to assist you with directions.
  • Just like driving in many cities and towns, you should expect heavy traffic at certain hours of the day, which might make it difficult to drive in the city. The morning rush hour in Lincoln lasts from about 7 am to 10 am, while the afternoon rush hour is from about 4 pm to 7 pm.
