KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in West Sacramento

  • Car rentals in West Sacramento, CA, provide the flexibility to travel according to your own schedule. You are not bound by fixed bus or train timetables and can plan your trips per your preferences. Still, public transportation might not always reach all destinations in West Sacramento, especially if you want to explore remote areas or places with limited transportation options. You can easily access more sites with a rental car, including Cache Creek Nature Preserve and Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area.
  • The primary airport that serves West Sacramento, CA, and the greater Sacramento metropolitan area is the Sacramento International Airport (SMF). The facility is convenient for picking up your West Sacramento car rentals immediately after you land. The Rental Car Terminal at SMF is a separate facility adjacent to the airport. To get there, you must take a shuttle from the terminal curbside. Some major car rental agencies operating at SMF include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, and Hertz.
  • West Sacramento is located at the convergence of several major highways, including Interstate 80 and Interstate 5. Negotiating these freeway interchanges with car rentals in West Sacramento can be challenging, especially for drivers unfamiliar with the area. Remember, the city is bike-friendly, with many cycling paths and pedestrian-friendly areas. Therefore, drivers need to be aware of bikers and pedestrians, especially in downtown and residential neighborhoods. In more rural areas near West Sacramento, you may encounter wildlife crossing the roads, especially during dusk and dawn. Stay alert and be prepared to brake if necessary.
  • The typical peak traffic hours in West Sacramento align with traditional rush hours experienced in most urban areas. Roads are usually congested in the morning (7:00 am to 9:00 am) when residents commute to work, school, or other destinations and in the evening (4:00 pm to 6:00 pm) when they return home. To this end, consider skirting around streets that experience heavy snarl-up, such as West Capitol Avenue, Highway 50/Interstate 80 Interchange, and Bridge Street. Bear in mind that heavy rain during the rainy season can lead to slippery roads and reduced visibility. Motorists should exercise caution during inclement weather.
  • Full-size hire cars in West Sacramento are around 85% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for car rental in West Sacramento, California?

    Several factors will likely influence the choice of West Sacramento car rentals, including your budget, the amount of luggage, and the number of passengers. Generally, Midsize sedans offer more space than compact cars, providing additional comfort for passengers and more room for luggage. They are suitable for longer drives and provide good fuel efficiency. However, an SUV can be a great option if you are exploring off-road surrounding areas or need more cargo space. SUVs offer extra space and a higher driving position.

  • What’s the speed limit in West Sacramento, California?

    In most residential areas and neighborhoods in West Sacramento, the speed limit is typically 25 miles per hour (mph). This lower speed limit is designed to enhance safety for pedestrians and residents. The speed limit is usually higher on main roads and arterial streets, typically ranging from 35 mph to 45 mph. Remember that speeding violations may result in fines or other penalties when driving car rentals in West Sacramento.

  • Where are the best places to park car rentals in West Sacramento, California?

    Finding parking for your West Sacramento car rentals depends on your destination and the time of day. The area has many street parking spaces in various neighborhoods and commercial areas. Some street parking may be metered, while others may have time limits. The parking rates range from approximately $1 to $2 per hour. If you are staying at a hotel or lodging in West Sacramento, check if they offer parking facilities for guests. Many hotels provide free or discounted parking for their guests.

Car, SUV, was fine and addressed our needs. We were disappointed in the lack of flexibility at customer service. We asked for a 3-4 hour extension to drop off so we didn't have to drive all day and into the night. They said any extension is charged at a full 24 hour rate even 5 minutes. Representative said he had no discretion on charge. We ended up just making drop off deadline but didn't have time to stop for gas. They charged $9.90 per gallon! Outrageous! I live in Tennessee and pay between $2.50 and $3.00 per gallon. If all rental companies do this, I will never rent for pleasure. I often rent in Europe and they are much more flexible in their rules and policies. I am an Avis Preferred member, but I did not feel preferred at Avis.

The rental location closed at midday but we weren’t informed of this when booking. As a result we couldn’t pick up our car. The Budget location at Sacramento airport wouldn’t honour our booking either se we had to cancel and use another company.

The staff was very friendly and even though I didn't get the car I reserved, I really liked the rental they gave me instead. It would be nice if dropping off could be more efficient, especially since the staff was already slammed with trying to help ppl who were picking up rentals for the weekend (they were working as fast as they can they deserve an award), so we were just kinda standing around until someone had time to check the car we were returning. But all in all a good experience and I would definitely recommend to others.
