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.
  • Book your car hire in West Sacramento at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate car hire in West Sacramento are around 25% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

It was a bit busy, but staff worked fast to try and get everyone out. So customer service was okay. I liked that they were working to serve everyone.

Cons:

Cars need to be cleaned between customers. If I did not need the car for only a few hours and I didn't already spend 45 minutes checking the car out, I would not have accepted that car. "Enhanced cleaning" had a lot of dead bugs all over the front of the car and dirt and rocks in the truck bed. Like lots of dirt and rocks. Enterprise does not care for repeat customers.

Cons:

The cleanliness of the car was disgusting!!! I had to be given another car which was much better than the first car. The return of the car was ridiculous as there were no place to return it other than on the streets. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The only thing that was right was the assistant manager Ryan K. he was kind and really did a good job in making me the customer satisfied. His customer service and his alone was excellent!! He needs a bonus, you should hire more people like him who are willing to keep customers happy.

Cons:

We could have been better informed about the hours. Everything we received said that the location was open until 5 PM. When we got there at 4:30 we learned through a sign on the door that they closed at 4. Lost our money on buying the insurance and had to spend twice as much to get another car that we could pick up at the airport.

Horrible. Bait and switch. Needed to change drop off location due to flight change and they were 100% unwilling to work with me whatsoever. And tried to charge me an additional $500 to change the location by 15 miles. Ridiculous. Never. Never. Never. Again.

While booking, there were 2 managers specials advertised for this location. One that was for a fully electric car, and one that said determined at pickup. I knew an electric car wouldn’t work for the distance I needed to travel, so I selected the option that didn’t state fully electric. However, when I arrived they told me that the manager’s specials were only electric and that there were no gas vehicles available at the rate I had booked, and it was $25 more per day plus taxes and fees to get the only gas vehicle they had available. If it had been stated more clearly at booking that all of the manager’s specials could be fully electric, I would have made a different decision at the time of booking. Otherwise though, the staff was friendly.

Pros:

Car was nice and clean, staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I wasn't able to park my car at the rental location because their lot was too small. I had to end up having my bf help drive my car back to his house while I drove the rental there to go pick him up for our drive together in the rental car. A bit inconvenient, but I understand the situation. Wish it would have been made clear before I showed up so I wouldn't have been so inconvenienced. I also ended up getting a Lyft ride for my ride back home after I dropped off the rental car. More money out of my pocket :-(

They were friendly and efficient. The only complaint at this downtown office was they were low on cars when I arrived at 1030am. My initial rental, a Toyota Corolla, was not available and the option I was offered was a Dodge Ram dual cab pickup. While it was roomy and very plush, my gasoline budget was about twice what it should have been. Also, it made me nervous parking and maneuvering such a large vehicle .
