Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Palm Springs

  • Driving Palm Springs SUV rentals is a wonderful way to see this oasis of a town in the California Sonoran Desert. You can enjoy driving through the stylish streets, enjoying boutiques and restaurants, or driving beyond city limits into the Coachella Valley, soaking in the breathtaking desert vistas. If you want to indulge in outdoor recreation, an SUV is convenient for transporting outdoor recreation gear, camping equipment, and picnic supplies. Palm Springs SUV rentals will allow you to make the most of your stay in this fashionable city.
  • For those who want to drive Palm Springs SUV rentals south into Mexico, you must first obtain permission from the car rental agency to cross the border. If they grant permission, they will have to sell you a Mexican liability insurance policy, which you need to show border officials to enter Mexico. American car insurance policies and credit card insurance will not work in Mexico. You should also consider getting some Mexican collision coverage. At the border, you will also have to show your driver's license and your passport, as well as your rental car agreement.
  • For those renting Palm Springs SUV rentals, you should experience relatively stress-free driving within the city. The streets are wide and well-marked, as the city has a laid-back, relaxed vibe. You might experience rush hour traffic congestion, especially around the I-10 interstate, from 7 am to 9 am and from 4 pm to 6 pm. Palm Springs is a bike-friendly city with several bike lanes on the major roads, so be especially careful when you are turning right that there is not someone in a bike lane next to you.
  • Situated just 3 miles east of Downtown Palm Springs, the Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) makes an ideal place for picking up your Palm Springs SUV rental. The car rental counters are easily accessible at PSP, all lined up against the wall in the arrivals section, near the luggage carousels. The cars themselves are parked right outside arrivals in the airport parking lot. Some agencies at PSP that have Palm Springs SUV rentals available include Avis, Alamo, Dollar, Budget, Hertz, National, Enterprise, Ace, and Thrifty.
  • 25% of our users found an SUV rental in Palm Springs for C$ 78 or less

FAQs About Renting an SUV in Palm Springs

  • Is it allowed to arrange one-way rentals with Palm Springs SUV rentals?

    Many car rental agencies in Palm Springs will allow you to pick up your SUV in Palm Springs and drop it at an agency location in another city or in another state. When you want a Palm Springs SUV specifically for a one-way rental, make sure you mention this at the time that you make your reservation. The staff members at the car rental agency need time to arrange the details with the drop-off agency. Also, it will probably cost a bit more to do a one-way rental.

  • What documentation do I need to pick up my Palm Springs SUV rental?

    You and any additional drivers that you will put on the rental contract will need to present your driving license to the car rental staff at the time that you pick up the vehicle. Make sure your license is not expired. The person whose name is on the rental contract will also have to have a credit card, usually a major one, such as MasterCard or Visa, to put a deposit on the SUV.

  • How old do I have to be if I want to rent an SUV in Palm Springs?

    To rent an SUV in Palm Springs, and throughout California, you need to be at least 21 years old. Many car rental agencies will add an extra fee onto your rental contract everyday due to your young age if you are younger than 25. If you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and want to rent an SUV in Palm Springs, compare agencies and the fees they will assess to make the most economical choice.

Cons:

The reservation agent charged me two extra hours (almost a full day's rate, three hours would have been a full day's rate). I was unaware I was a little more than an hour early, I had made the reservation a month and a half ago. When I noticed the total amount was more than what was on my reservation paperwork I was told it was because I was early. When I said I could go have lunch and come back in an hour the agent replied she's already opened the reservation and couldn't change it now. She said she could only cancel the reservation and that I'd be free to make a new one. This was during the covid car shortage and they were turning away people due to the shortage of cars and the cars that were available were renting at a premium. I know canceling a reservation is not the only option unless it is a new company top down policy.

After reserving my vehicle with a debit card via the pay later option when I tried to pick up my car at Palm Springs airport the Hertz employee told me because I didn’t have the CREDIT card I used to make the reservations I could not pick up the car and I could not get a refund. I had to have a friend reserve the car under his name and pay an additional fee to add me as a driver even though I was the one that reserved for and paid for the car. Again, I made the reservation with a debit card, but it hurts. Employee refused to accept the card that I used to make the reservation even though that is the policy.

I arrived to only be told that I would be charged an additional 800 dollars on top of what I already paid online. I felt like I was being scammed for more money. I ended up paying 450 usd more than my quoted priced online when booking and paying. I feel very taken advantage of. Will never book again through Kayak or through this company. Disgraceful service and they should be ashamed.

Cons:

We did not get the car we asked for--the alternative was too small for our needs. And, I felt ripped off by all the extra fees, etc. Based on the "advertised" Kayak price, we should have paid much less buying making an advance deposit. The fees drove up the total significantly. Net, most likely will not use a third party again for car rental.

They didn’t have the type of car we reserved (suv) and gave us a 4 door chevy. It fit us fine but wasn’t the size we’d reserved. Also, the car had a big dent and scratch along the back side which looked a little crappy driving it around Palm Springs.

The address is misleading as the office located on Airport Drive but the office is about half a mile or so from the actual airport, and there is no shuttle. It wasn’t a big deal for me, but might be for some. Once I arrived the staff was friendly, efficient, and courteous. The prices were good.

She was too was very sweet and a pleasure to talk with on the ride. Best experience with a rental Company.

The time to pick up defaults to noon which is when they close. I would have gone I. Earlier had I know but that was the time it said I was supposed to pick up my car. Luckily I got there at 1157 but I saw multiple people get turned down for cars they already reserved at 1202 because they were “closed” at noon. The employee and manager who were there could have easily waited the ten minutes it takes to get a car but decided to leave their customers agendas without renting the car they had already reserved

When I arrived just after 11pm to get my car, no one was manning the Avis/Budget desk at the Palm Springs airport. This despite their open hours being until midnight. I had to rideshare to my destination and return to the airport the next day to get my rental car. It took 90 minutes of waiting in line and at the desk for them to get me a car. They said they had run out of cars the night before. There was no communication about this nor was there any signage at the desk. A rep from another rental company told a couple of other parties and me that they had all gone home.

Got to the desk and was shocked to see a line of people that probably would have taken over an hour to get a car.
