KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Folsom

  • The city’s northern California location makes car rentals in Folsom and easy and smart choice. On the edge of Folsom Lake, you are within driving distance to some fantastic recreation areas, such as Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, Penninsula Campground, Sweetwater Trail, Granit Bay Main Beach, Rattlesnake Bar Boat Launch, and many more. Beyong Folsom Lake, Reno is about 2 hours away in a Folsom car rental. In the opposite direction of Folsom lake, to the southwest of Folsom, you can drive to Sacramento in about 30 minutes, once you’ve got your car rentals in Folsom. With so much city and countryside to enjoy, car rentals in Folsom make sense.
  • If you are flying in to northern California in order to go to Folsom, consider flying into the Sacramento International Airport (SMF). This convenient airport is less than 40 minutes from Folsom by car, and therefore the ideal location to fly into and rent a car from. Once you deplane at SMF, find your way to baggage claim and exit to the Arrivals curb. Here, you can catch a free shuttle to the Rental Car Terminal located nearby but still on airport grounds. Some of the rental car companies housed in the Rental Car Terminal include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and more.  Once you have secured your rental vehicle, exit the airport and take the the I-5 south to the I-80 east. Exit at Madison Avenue and head east until you reach Folsom.
  • Folsom is a town that prides itself on its nature trails, walks, and hikes. Because the town is so in tune with the environment, it has established bike trails all through town as alternative methods of travel to a car. So, when you are traveling throughout Folsom, especially in the historic downtown area, watch out for people on bicycles. Folsom has also become known as a family-friendly town with many park and recreation areas for kids, so drive carefully around parks where there will be kids and dogs running around.
  • Folsom as a town is exploding with real estate development, as  housing tracts and apartment buildings seem to be getting built on every available space overnight. The population, in turn, is booming, and this has created some terrible traffic problems. The roads of what was once a quiet small town were not built to sustain the amount of traffic that the new construction is bringing in. So, when you are in your car rentals in Folsom, be prepared for the traffic. If you can, you might want to tailor your schedule so that you are not traveling at the peak traffic hours between 8 am and 10 am in the morning and 4 pm and 7 pm in the evening.
  • Book your rental car in Folsom at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Folsom are around 79% more expensive than other car types, on average

The staff was very accommodating and it was a convenient and easy pick-up and drop off location. We had an issue with our rental car and upon return, they were very quick to credit us a day since we had to drive out of our way during our vacation and lost time in order to swap out the car in Las Vegas NV. We will ONLY rent with Enterprise!

Car was not clean however the rental car location will refund you if you want to get the car washed yourself. Seems like they would make cleaning part of their service these days.

Hertz told me that Kayak screwed up by giving me a reservation. When I got to Hertz, they told me they had absolutely no vehicles available to me. It was extremely frustrating to need to scramble to find a car at another company. Thank goodness I wasn’t trying to get to an airport for a flight. I will NEVER use Kayak again for anything.

Cons:

The SUV I reserved was not there. Waited three and a half hours for resolution. Nothing. Couldn’t get one alternate vehicle because it needed an oil change. Couldn’t get a van because it needed registration renewal but it had permanent tags. Manager called corporate and person who could sign off didn’t return four phone messages in those three and a half hours. Left very upset with no vehicle.

They need more customer service reps. Took about 20 minutes of waiting in line just to hand someone my keys.

Hertz had had no car for me, no apology, and no compensation offer. Some 20 others before me who also had reservations also got no car. I was fortunate enough to find an Avis/Budget rental location (Folsom, E. Bidwell St) with a car, but paid more than triple by walking in day-of with no reservation.

Rental counter closed at noon. Rental started at noon. Office closed before noon. Major plan adjustments and expenses needed to make it to work on time.

The vehicle wasn’t ready - it hadn’t been cleaned. The drop off at the Redding airport was awkward. No good instructions on how to drop off.

Scheduled a noon pickup. Arrived at 12:40pm. Unbeknownst to me, the facility closes at 12:30pm. What business ever shuts down on the half hour. As a result I was charged $50 for a “non-cancel”. Of course, there was no intent to cancel. But none the less, I’ve been assessed a fee. F***ing stupid algorithmic business practice. “Oh, the system won’t let me change that.” Never again.
