For a car rental at Sacramento International Airport, you must submit a valid driver's license at the time of pick up. If your license isn't U.S.-issued, you'll have to present your foreign driver's license, and some car rental agencies may require your passport. If you're renting a car for more than 90 days, an International Driving Permit must accompany your foreign driver's license. You'll also require a debit or credit card in your name, per the rental company requirements. Most car hire agencies require that you be at minimum 21 years old to rent a car, but drivers under 25 may experience a young driver's surcharge.
Once you disembark from your flight, follow the airport signs to the baggage claim location. Head outside to the designated shuttle stops and get on a rental car shuttle. If a shuttle isn't available, you'll have about a 10min shuttle wait time. The shuttle will take you to the rent-a-car facility, from where you can head over to the car rental agency counter you want. A staff member will direct you to the car lot adjacent to the facility once you pick up your keys.

Full size car not available. Have a car with nasty stale cigarette smell. Then changed to a very small SUV calling it an upgrade. Line waiting at Sacramento was half hour with 3 customers in line. Budget needs to streamline the process and provide a clean car as promised. I paid $317 for 4 days rental. Expect better.10,0 Wonderful

There was a long line at pick up. I waited about 75 minutes. There were three to four agents. So maybe it’s just the nature of the business. Also, I’m not a fan of interior deodorizer smells. But it was tolerable.One location in Sacramento Intl Airport

I reserved a "Suppliers Choice" price and was disappointed. When I called the Sacramento office the day before, the rep said most likely I would get a small SUV or mini-van as that's what they had the most of...and that's what I would most likely get... If I had know it was going to be an economy car (Accent), I would have booked it directly in that class and saved some money! Never again!10,0 Wonderful

Cons:
I mistakenly reserved a car in SAC rather than SAL. The Avis lady was very nice in SAL giving me a new rental at a reasonable price and cancelling my SAC reservation. But Kayak nevertheless charged me a $50 fee for not cancelling the SAC reservation. When I called Avis they said they could not do anything about it because it was a Kayak charge. I don’t know how to contact Kayak other than this.One location in Sacramento Intl Airport

Staff was extremely unprofessional and does not take accountability for their lack of thoroughness with their product. The van we rented was in severe need of a check-up - tail lights not working, oil change, alignment, electrical, etc.... when this brought to their attention they only made excuses and told us “well, you rented a van.” They didn’t care. Don’t rent a van from this company.2,0 Poor
