KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Stockton
- Public transportation in a new city can be confusing. Car rentals in Stockton will leave you with less time to figure things out and more time to explore what the city has to offer. Being in the heart of California, Stockton places you in a great location to reach popular destinations within short drives. Once you get a car from Stockton car rentals, you can explore places like San Francisco, which is 82 miles away, Sacramento, 49 miles away, or Yosemite, which is 94 miles away. You’ll eliminate the need to transfer buses to get there and cut travel time by a long shot.
- The Stockton Metropolitan Airport is the closest domestic airport, though it doesn’t provide car rental services. Still, you can rent a car of your choice through KAYAK and have the company pick you up at the airport. If you opt for Sacramento International Airport, you’ll find a free shuttle at the ground level ready to take you to the rental car facility within the airport. From there, you can get an on-airport rental car from companies such as Enterprise, Budget, and Hertz. If you opt for off-site car rentals in Stockton, your car rental company of choice can pick you up at the airport car rental facility.
- Speeding in local neighborhood streets is a common road offense, so you will want to avoid getting a ticket for it. In California, cyclists are allowed on all highways except specified freeways, so drive carefully to avoid getting into an accident with a cyclist.
- Traffic congestion in Stockton is not normally something you should be worried about, but the morning commute can be a bit congested. The morning rush hour spans from 6am to 8:30am, so you might want to avoid driving at this time unless it’s necessary. California blizzards can be quite unforgiving, so if you plan to rent a car in Stockton during the winter months, which run from October through March, you should be ready for slick roads, flooding, ice, and high winds. Flash floods can especially be quite hazardous as they strike within minutes.
- Book your car hire in Stockton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Premium car hire in Stockton are around 60% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
THE CAR THAT I WANTED AND PAID FOR ON LINE, WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT HERTZ, EVEN THOUGH THE WEB SITE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS. GOT A FLAT TIRE ON THE WAS BACK HOME FROM ARKANSAS. THE TOOL THAT YOU USE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS WAS STRIPPED OUT, AND ONLY SPUN AROUND THE LUG NUT. HAD TO USE A TOW SERVICE, AND BUY A NEW TIRE. THAT COST ME OVER TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. ONE OTHER THING...THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORN TO THE POINT THAT MADE SEEING WORSE THAN IF I HAD NOT USED THEM. IN CLOSING, HERTZ IS VERY LACKING WITH THEIR BASIC MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS. SHOULD I EVER HAVE ANOTHER NEED FOR A CAR RENTAL, I WILL USE ENTERPRISE.Dollar
