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.

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.

Jan. 2019
Pros:
By the time I arrived they offered an upgrade because of the high season they didn’t have the unit I asked for, and I didn’t take it because was going to increase my budget for the insurance, so they wanted to compensate searching for a unit in other location, but I was lucky that a client arrived with the unit I reservedCons:

2.0 Poor
Sep. 2020
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.2.4 Poor
May 2019

Jun. 2017
Pros:
The car itself was fine, it was a good price and had no issues.Cons:
The staff were all pretty young and didn't seem to know what they were doing. They were overbooked and didn't have a car for me at the time of my scheduled pickup. I ended up with a smaller car than what I had reserved and was not discounted the price; but after an hour of waiting there with two small children I needed to get going so I didn't have much choice but to take it. Dropping off the car was no better. I waited 20 minutes just to drop it off. The office was again full of people waiting for cars because they were overbooked. New management is definitely needed here. I will not rent a car from this location again. By far the worst experience I have ever had with a rental place.Budget
