KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in DeSoto

  • Discover the convenience of car rentals in DeSoto. With DeSoto car rentals, you can easily explore at your pace, reaching attractions like Thorntree Golf Club and the vibrant DeSoto Town Center. Unlike limited public transport options, a rental car offers flexibility and direct access to nearby gems. Don't miss out on the fascinating DeSoto Veterans Memorial or the beautiful Windmill Hill Nature Preserve; both made more accessible and enjoyable with your own vehicle. Embrace the advantages of renting a car and make the most of your DeSoto experience.
  • DeSoto is primarily served by two major airports, Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL), located 21 miles north of DeSoto, and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), situated about 28 miles northwest of DeSoto. Rental car offices at DAL are located in the Rental Car Center (RCC), which is easily accessible by following the signs from the terminal buildings to the shuttle pick-up areas. Car rental offices at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) are also in a dedicated rental car facility near the airport's south entrance. In both airports, travelers can take shuttle buses from the terminal to the RCC. The shuttle stops are clearly marked, and the buses operate frequently to provide convenient access to the rental car offices.
  • Navigating DeSoto by car is generally straightforward, but be mindful of school zones and reduced speed limits during school hours. Additionally, Texas has strict laws against using handheld devices while driving, so it's advisable to go hands-free. While DeSoto isn't as congested as larger cities, keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially near busy intersections or shopping areas. Opting for a car rental in DeSoto ensures you have the flexibility to explore the city and its attractions at your own pace, making your trip enjoyable and hassle-free.

Cons:

The pick was scheduled for noon. We pulled up at 12:05 and saw the manager in the parking lot as he was departing for the day. They closed at noon and he said that we were late so they were closed. Why would we be permitted to schedule a noon pickup from a place that closed at noon???

Cons:

They simply didn't honor my reservation because I didn't look like them. It was a busy day (just before new year) and they decided to keep their car for their "own people". Luckily I left before they beat me up.

Pros:

The associates were friendly and attentive

Cons:

The SUV I wanted was not ready and I was offered a Jeep Wrangler instead which I took. The vehicle was not as plush or comfortable as an SUV would have been, no Bluetooth, no navigation or back-up camera, no satellite radio. It was a cloth-top Jeep and it was noisy to drive, not really suited to an urban or suburban setting. I chose to keep it but would not do it again and hate my original choice was not ready at the time of pickup
