Top tips for hiring a car at Santa Rosa Sonoma County airport

  • With so many car rental companies to choose from, a car rental at Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport (STS) is a cheap and convenient way to get from the airport to downtown Sonoma. A car rental will give you the flexibility of getting to other parts of the city, especially if you’re interested in exploring major attractions, such as Sonoma State Historical Park, Charles Schulz Museum, the hot springs at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, and wine tasting at Enoteca Della Santina.
  • Car rentals are preferred to the public transportation options from the airport since public options usually experience delays. The many drop-off locations may delay your journey to downtown Sonoma. Typically, taking a shuttle or a train to downtown Sonoma will take you at least 2h, while driving yourself from the airport will take you 43min. Moreover, while there is a wide range of public transportation options at the airport’s transportation area located directly in front of the terminal building, the car rental hall is in the terminal building, and renting a car means you can head to your destination directly and take a shorter time.
  • Once you are ready to return your car rental at Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport, you can return it to your respective car rental location. If you’re returning a car at Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport due to an early flight, you may avoid any delays by dropping your car keys at designated key drop boxes available at your respective returning area, allowing you to catch your flight quickly and conveniently.
  • Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport experiences busy times like any other major city airport. This congestion is experienced during the morning and evening hours when most people are headed to and returning from work. Therefore, the airport road is most congested between these two rush hour periods, and it would not be easy to return your Santa Rosa Sonoma County car rental during these times. If you wish to make your return process smooth, you should avoid dropping off your car rental during the rush hours and instead drop it off at the less busy times.
  • Book your car hire at Santa Rosa Sonoma County airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I was disappointed. They were sold out of the type car i reserved so tried to give an “upgrade” to a vehicle I wasn’t comfortable driving. They gave me a car that was so beat up it probably shouldn’t have been on the road. I would not use them again.

We rented a “luxury” vehicle. It said BMW of like model. The car was a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander. It smelt of cigarette, the AC didn’t blow cold air and there wasn’t even a back up camera. I was really disappointed. We ended up trading it for a van that had over 140,000 miles on it. The upside was the employee at the counter was amazing. She was really kind, felt personable. She helped me get to the car with my two kids and the it car seats. She was really responsive when I called her. She made the experience better.

Letting me know when I’m booking the car I cannot go out of state would be helpful. It’s really inconvenient when you show up to the counter after planning a trip for months and you then get told the car cannot go out of state. Poor advertisement at its best.

The rental car desk person was great. The issues started when the car barely started. I figured that if had not been driven for some time and we had to rush to get to our hotel (40 miles) to put our baby down for the night, the next morning the car barely started after several attempts, with noises very typical of a dead battery, Called Hertz and they told us to head back to where we picked up the car for an exchange and confirmed they had sufficient inventory. When we got there, the person at the desk told us she was a dozen cars short for the day and couldn’t do anything for us. She told us that the nearest place that might have enough cars was 2 hours away. So we had to keep the car running all day, and sweat every time we had to turn it off for the rest of our 3 day trip. All in all, disappointing.
