KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Indio

  • While some public transportation can be found in the area, it is minimal, leaving car rentals in Indio as the best way to travel throughout the city. By having access to Indio car rentals, you will be able to save time and travel as efficiently as possible. Being able to drive your own vehicle means that you can easily go to sights that are not in the city center. For example, there is the Shields Date Garden, which is around a 15-minute drive from the city center. You can also go to some neighboring cities, like Palm Springs or Riverside.
  • Travelers have the option of picking up car rentals in Indio directly from Palm Springs International Airport (PSP). Palm Springs International Airport has its own car rental center that can be found in the Arrivals terminal, almost directly next to baggage claim. There are quite a few rental companies that have offices here, including Hertz, Enterprise, and Thrifty. The fleet for each of these companies can be found on airport property.
  • Those driving car rentals in Indio will want to be sure that they are familiar and comfortable with various local driving laws. For example, when driving in the state of California, you will always want to use the left-hand lane to pass other vehicles, rather than the right-hand lane. Whenever you are using your windshield wipers, you must also turn on your low-beam headlights. Be careful if you choose to drink, as the state of California has strict DUI laws that prohibit individuals from operating a vehicle if they have a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher.
  • Avoid getting caught in a traffic jam by staying off the roads during particularly busy times. For the region, rush hour is usually between 7:30 and 9:30 am and 5:00 and 7 pm. Some of the streets that are known for being especially busy during rush hour include Highways 10, 86, and 111. If you are on the road during rainy weather, make sure to pay special attention as well, as the roads tend to be more slippery than usual.

The SUV I rented more than 8 days before the pick up date , wasn't ready and i called 3 times. they never called me until i was 3 hours late for my pickup time , someone told me I have to rent a small car drive it to another location and pick up my desired type of car. The car smells cigarette. have rough sound from the back while driving. I tried to cancel the reservation but the lady said she can't and it has to be through her manager because I paid already for the rental, I decided to take the SUV as it was too late for me to change my plans. Adding assault to the injury ,when I returned the SUV washed in and out and full tank, the guy told me I have to pay 150$ tax , so I told him I paid everything ahead of my rental and he was .... oh let me see what I can do... as he is doing me a favor by waiving taxes, so unprofessional and annoying.

Pros:

The entire check-in process was very quick (under 15 minutes). The staff was very friendly and I'm extremely grateful that the pickup truck option was available. The truck was excellent. I'm very pleased with my whole experience.

Cons:

Beware that Enterprise does not necessarily pick you up. The corporate website says "within 10 miles, non-airport." But, what you'll find is that the 10 mile radius is not followed. Instead, each Enterprise location goes by MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES. So, even if you're within 10 miles of an Enterprise location, but across a suburb/town line, they will not pick you up. That was disappointing.

Pros:

Convenient location to my destination. Once I got a person helping me, the rest of the return went well

Cons:

Office is a desk in the hotel lobby. Limited number of employees there. No designated area near the lobby for the cars to be park to initiate return. All this could work better and provide a better experience. I would do this again but will return to the larger office a short distance away.

They committed fraud on me, they charged me an extra 134 dollars from my account, they claim that I did not fill the gas tank and that is lies. I have proof that if I did fill it, if I have to go to court for this, I will do it if they do not return my money.

Cons:

They charge you too much for gas, almost more than I paid for the car rental, i used only quarter of tank, and they charged me $70. There is no specific way to measure the gas used, whatever the person who check the car decide what to pay, so I recommend to put gas before the drop off

I declined the insurance and was charged for it even though my contract said I declined it. I had to call the Budget rent of car where I picked up the car to clear it up.
