KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Spring Valley

  • With car rentals in Spring Valley, California, you can travel whenever and wherever you want without being restricted by the schedules and routes of public transportation. This is especially beneficial if you're on a tight schedule or need to reach destinations that may not be well-connected by buses or trains. Also, Spring Valley and its surrounding areas might have scenic spots, recreational areas, or attractions not easily accessible by public transportation. A rental car allows you to explore off-the-beaten-path locations you might miss if you rely solely on buses or trains, such as Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Cleveland National Forest.
  • The closest major airport to Spring Valley, California, is San Diego International Airport (SAN), about 14 miles away. Still, Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) lies about 24 miles away and offers easy access to Spring Valley. You can book a car rental online at any of the establishments so that you pick it up as soon as you land. The car rental centers at both airports are located off-site. Still, they are conveniently accessible via a shuttle from the airport terminals; the facilities house major car rentals in Spring Valley, like Budget, Hertz, and Avis.
  • Due to the cultural diversity in Spring Valley, CA, you're likely to encounter a wide range of driving styles, reflecting the backgrounds and experiences of the people living there. That said, like other parts of California, the city is increasingly focused on pedestrian and cyclist safety. Drivers are expected to be cautious around crosswalks and to share the road with cyclists. Like many older suburban areas, Spring Valley might have some narrower roads, especially in residential neighborhoods. These roads may not be as wide as major thoroughfares, and you may need to be cautious when driving Spring Valley car rentals.
  • Like many suburban areas, Spring Valley can experience some level of road congestion, especially during peak commuting hours. Usually, rush hours occur during the morning (7 am to 9 am) and evening (4:30 pm to 7 pm) when people commute to and from work.

This was our first time renting a cargo Van so we didn't know the comfort level. I guess you can't really do anything about the seats. I definitely would rent from Hertz again!

The service at both counters was great. The Nissan Rouge is a fine car The price was reasonable considering the COVID-19 demands my only complaint is that the rental car was black and the AC had a hard time keeping pace with the heat. We had day time temps above 112. I think you should use light-color cars in the desert southwest wish I could attach the snapshot of the melted plastic glass from it sitting in the cup-holder in the afternoon Jerry

Pros:

The staff was really friendly and helpful. They went above my expectations to make my experience memorable.

Cons:

They forgot to show me where the button was to open the gas tank. But I was able to find it after some digging. Not a problem at all.

The young man who helped me (SDSU student) was very good at his job. He was quick and efficient and gave excellent customer service. The Toyota Corolla I was first assigned had been driven by a smoker. The cigarette smell inside the car was pungent and unacceptable. I returned to the office and the young man, without hesitation, gave me keys to another car. Biggest frustration is not being able to contact the car pick up/drop off locations directly with questions. I had no idea what their hours of operation were and BARELY made it to drop off before they closed. There is no optional late drop off, no way to leave keys, etc. If I had been 8 minutes later, they would have closed and I would have missed my flight trying to deal with the car situation.
