Rental car prices as pick-up date approaches

A really good reason to pick up Bakersfield van rentals is that in the San Joaquin Valley, where Bakersfield sits, things are pretty well spread out, so having a good van is a great way to get from place to place throughout the valley. When large groups come to Bakersfield they often hop in the van to head to amazing outdoor locations such as Hart Memorial Park, the Park at Riverwalk, and Lake Ming. For travelers staying closer to the center of town, they often visit places such as the Kern County Museum, the Bakersfield Museum of Art, or the California Living Museum.
One of the nicest features of picking up Bakersfield van rentals at Meadows Field (BFL) is that this is a smaller regional airport, and as such, it is quite easy to pick up Bakersfield van rentals at this location. There are about five different major rental car companies that operate at this airport, and each one of them has a customer service desk in the terminal building right adjacent to the baggage claim area. Once you've picked up your keys for your Bakersfield van rental, you'll find your van right outside the terminal building in the parking lot adjacent to the terminal.
Because Bakersfield is not a very large city, it's quite easy to travel throughout the city in Bakersfield van rentals. Highway 99 is a major highway that travelers from north to south through the city, and then just to the west of the city, you can also travel board Interstate Five, that is one of the largest interstate highways in the state. Highway 58 is the highway that travels from west to east through the center of the city, and if you are looking to get up into the mountains just to the east of Bakersfield, Highway 178 offers an amazingly beautiful drive.
Driving in Bakersfield can be a little bit difficult during the morning and the evening when people are making their way to or from work. Most of the congestion you will find will be along Highway 99 and Highway 58. Another time when driving can be especially difficult is during the winter, when fog can settle into the valley and make driving quite challenging.

What is the most reliable type of Bakersfield van rental I can choose?
Quite often, when people want to rent a van, they will choose a minivan because it offers the ability to carry plenty of passengers while still driving much like a passenger car. When choosing a minivan, it s always a great idea to select from manufacturers such as Dodge and Chrysler that have long reputations for building fun, reliable, and safe minivans that do a great job of transporting large groups of people throughout the Bakersfield area.

Friendly staff at the Bakersfield location. HOWEVER, the staff at the SLO airport was not friendly. He was passive aggressive when I forgot to bring in the mileage. He said, "Well, I told you in my voicemail message to bring it in so I didn't have to walk out to get it," which was rude. Customers are people with busy lives, too. Mistakes happen. And it's not such an inconvenience to walk out to the parking lot!

The woman at the counter told us she not rent us the car because your system was down. We had to use another company and were panicked, and had to pay a lot more money. We’re not happy at all

They did not have a car available when I arrived for my scheduled pick up. They did not attempt to help resolve the matter in any way. They treated me as if I was inconveniencing them by asking to speak with a manager, told me that the manager was not available, and refused to give me a contact number. Extremely rude and unprofessional. I will not be using Budget ever again.

Alberto was very friendly and punctual. I had left my car keys somewhere in the car and noticed it when I got back home. I got a call from Priceless they found my keys and will mail them the morning after. I have no words to express my gratitude. I have a gold medal that belonged to my Dad attached to the keys and it is the only thing I keep from him.

Pros:

Easy pick up and drop off

Cons:

The cars speakers were messed up, the light for the clock and stereo system didn’t work, there was no back up camera. Most of all the steel light bugged me as I couldn’t see anything on there and then on the last day the light appears! So dumb

My son lives in Ridgecrest, two hours away. Traveling by yourself is stressful enough, so I like the convenience that Enterprise is right in the terminal. As a women driving by myself, it gives me such peace of mind that I will arrive safely. The cars have always been clean, new and ran perfectly. I will continue to use them and Kayak for my travel needs.
