  • Are you planning to visit California? Whether you are on a business or family vacation, Porterville car rentals offer the most reliable and comfortable way to explore and learn the city’s culture through its museums and parks. While you can use public transportation, it does not promise convenience, flexibility, and comfort, which car rentals in Porterville win out on. With car rentals in Porterville, you gain the peace of mind that you will get to your destination on time. History lovers can drive to and explore Sequoia National Park, California Living Museum, and Porterville Historical Museum. Other locations worth visiting include Crystal Cave, Forestiere Underground Garden, and General Tree.
  • Visalia Municipal Airport (VIS), Fresno Airterminal Airport (FAT), and Bakersfield Meadows Field Airport (BFL) are some airports serving Porterville. If you are flying in Porterville, your flight will land at one of them. If you land at VIS, you can locate rental desks in the airport terminal building near the baggage claim areas. At FAT, you will locate car rental desks at the main terminal near the baggage claim area. The car rental desks at BFL are within the terminal, accessible by a short walk. The agencies to expect at the airports include Economy Car Rent a Car, Budget, Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise. Getting Porterville car rentals at the airport lets you adventure the city immediately after landing.
  • Generally, driving your car rentals in Porterville is easy because the roads are well-established and maintained. Drivers are generally patient, and road users typically abide by all traffic regulations. To this end, abide by all the traffic rules when driving in the city. The city has a zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving, so you should not have alcohol content when driving. Drive cautiously when approaching densely populated areas, as jaywalking is uncommon but possible. Pay attention to cyclists and bikers when overtaking and approaching them.
  • Like other cities in California, Porterville experiences dense traffic during rush hours. The road congestion is mostly due to many city occupants accessing the town center with private vehicles. Typically, the city experiences rush hours from 7 am to 10 am and from 4 pm to 7 pm. Planning your trips well saves you from bumper-to-bumper traffic in the city. If you must drive your car rentals in Porterville during these hours, consider avoiding densely inhabited areas.

The staff at the Visalia Enterprise was professional and quick, the car worked well, and when we called to let them know we'd be a little late in returning the car they assured us it would be no problem. Will definitely rent from this place again.

Pros:

Staff was great at pickup. We had a problem locking a broken door, stopped at Hertz in Turlock and they were great.

Cons:

One back door and the side sliding door were broken. The back door had to be opened with a wrench. The sliding door could not be opened from inside.
