However, be keen on the road when driving car rentals in San Fernando because the scenic views are attractive to the eyes. In addition, most streets along the mountain drive are narrow. For this reason, maintain the speed limit and use quality driving skills when navigating the turns and curves.
- You can experience traffic when driving car rentals in San Fernando, especially in the morning and evening rush hours. Road congestion mainly occurs between 6 am and 9 am and 3 pm and 6 pm, and the most affected road is I-5. You can wait to drive after the rush hours or begin your journey earlier to avoid delays. Driving rental cars during winter can be difficult because roads are covered in snow. So, ensure your headlights are on to increase visibility and drive slowly because roads are slippery.
- Book your car hire in San Fernando at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Staff was friendly, but overworked. The car I reserved was available, which I appreciated.Cons:
There was a long line and only one person working at the desk. The car smelled like mildew pretty strongly. There was a cleanliness seal on the car, but the person who recorded the condition of the car got inside to pull it forward, defeating the purpose of the seal.7,2 Good
