Top tips for renting a car at Arcata Eureka airport

  • Upon your arrival at Arcata Eureka Airport (ACV), your first thought will likely be how to get to your next destination.

With a rental car, you can trust that your transition from the flight to the highways of Humboldt County, Northern California will be seamless and timeless. Additionally, a rental car will enable you to explore the best parts of the city on your schedule and in the comfort of your own wheels.
  • Arcata Eureka Airport car rental companies have different age restrictions when it comes to car rental services. Most require renters to be at least 21 years old or more. However, if you’re below 21, some car rental agencies will ask you to pay an underage surcharge per day for the rest of your rental period. On the other hand, that company you want to rent a car from will demand that your additional driver meets all the renter’s requirements. The other driver must also appear at the car rental desk with you to sign the agreement.
  • Once you have the requirements to secure a car at ACV, the next step should be to find the most appropriate vehicle for your needs. In this regard, you’re advised to boost your daily savings by choosing the car that will make your trip worthwhile. You should also compare car rental rates from the onsite car suppliers on a particular car type before you make your final choice. Most importantly, beware of hidden costs, mileage limits, and fuel policy before you sign the car rental agreement.
  • Returning the car to the airport should not be a problem when dealing with car rental at Arcata Eureka Airport. For onsite car rental agencies, you’re advised to follow the ACV airport signs to direct you to the designated return location for your rental agency. Drive the car to the designated airport’s return lane for additional guidance from a car rental attendant. If it’s an after-hours return, you’ll drive to the designated parking areas and drop off the car keys and the completed contract to the return box before catching your flight.
  • Book your rental car at Arcata Eureka airport at least 4 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

My flight was cancelled from SFO to McKinleyville, so I had to rebook my car rental to leave from SFO and drove north. Top marks to Arlene, who worked very hard to get me the best rebooking deal possible, and it only cost me an extra $75 or so to depart from a completely different city.

Cons:

Other than the pain of rescheduling and having to drive an SUV that guzzled gas (I only needed an economy), I appreciated their help and it was a good rental experience.

Pros:

The staff called me just a few hours before my rental to inform me that they had no vehicles available except for one van I asked if they could give me the Vin for the price of my reservation and they said no so I was unable to get to the places I needed to this weekend with my family.

Cons:

They shouldn’t have had vehicles available on their website if they weren’t really available. And if they are going to cancel someone’s reservation they should at least first offer the vehicle that you have for the same price of the reservation

My flight was delayed and so the rental car place was closed. Luckily another rental car company was open and I was able to get a car through them. Very disappointed that National did not stay open knowing they had customers to serve.
