KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Rancho Mirage

  • Unlike relying on public transport or ride-sharing services, having Rancho Mirage car rentals allows visitors to create their own itinerary and travel routes without having to adhere to fixed schedules or routes. Another advantage of cheap car rentals in Rancho Mirage is that it allows visitors to easily access nearby attractions and destinations that may not be easily accessible by other means of transport. For example, the Indian Canyons and Joshua Tree National Park are both located in the surrounding desert area, which may be difficult to get to without a car.
  • When getting Rancho Mirage car rentals at San Diego Airport (SAN), it is important to know that all rental car companies are located off-site, and can be reached via shuttle buses that are marked "Rental Car Shuttles." To catch this shuttle, proceed outside the baggage claim area of either Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, where you will find the shuttle lane.  All rental car companies at John Wayne/Orange County Airport (SNA) are located off-site, and can be reached by shuttle buses that are marked "Rental Car Shuttles." To catch this shuttle, follow the signs to the Ground Transportation area outside of the baggage claim area.
  • If you're planning to drive cheap car rentals in Rancho Mirage, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First of all, the driving style in the city is generally calm and relaxed. Another thing to be aware of on the roads in Rancho Mirage is the presence of cyclists and pedestrians. While there are bike lanes and pedestrian crossings, drivers should still exercise caution and keep an eye out for people walking or biking. You'll see the usual familiar traffic signs and signals, as well as some that may be specific to California, such as signs indicating that the road is subject to sobriety checkpoints.
  • The busiest times in the city are typically during weekdays from 7 am to 9 am in the morning and from 4 pm to 6 pm in the evening. During these times, traffic congestion can be particularly heavy around major thoroughfares, such as Highway 111, Bob Hope Drive, and Monterey Avenue. When tourist activity is high, the roads can be considerably more crowded, particularly on Highway 111. While Rancho Mirage itself does not see much snow or rainfall` surrounding areas such as the San Jacinto Mountains can experience heavy snowfall, which can affect driving conditions on mountain roads and highways leading into and out of the area.

Pros:

Did not have car I ordered. Tried to get me to take smaller car. I refused. Was given a hard time by salesman and then he went away. Tried to speak to manager, was ignored. Staff very unfriendly. I had to leave without a car. Was a disaster. I went to Avis and was treated as a customer should be. Rented a car to my choice for 2 weeks.

Cons:

more honest treatment of a customer. A manager that would listen to my problem. A less hostile attitude. Have used Enterprise in the past, would never use again.

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.

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.

Pros:

Was very good at pick up, and drop off , close to the airport, and the shuttle is convenient

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.
