KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Atascadero

  • Renting a vehicle from one of the top car rentals in Atascadero would be a brilliant move, particularly if you'd like to tour the city extensively. With a rental, you will have complete privacy throughout your vacation. You'll also enjoy total independence for your trip, meaning you can drive to any destination you want, whether in the city or neighboring towns, at whatever time works best for you. Some neighboring towns you can easily reach with a rental from one of the car rentals in Atascadero include Templeton, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Oceano, Orcutt, and Los Alamos.
  • The nearest airport to Atascadero is San Luis Obispo Airport (SBP). At this airport, you can easily rent a car, given that it features counters for some Atascadero car rentals. The car rental companies include Avis, Enterprise, Budget, and Hertz. You won't need ground transportation to get to their counters and the rental pickup lot. This is as the counters are located in the terminal, a short distance from the baggage claim, whereas the pickup lot is also within walking distance.
  • In Atascadero, a majority of the road users in the city adhere to traffic regulations. However, some motorists usually flout rules whenever the chance arises, while some pedestrians tend to cross the road unexpectedly and expect not to be hit, especially on busy streets. With this in mind, to enjoy a smooth driving experience, maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you and watch for pedestrians.
  • Atascadero is a relatively quiet town. Hence, you will not experience heavy traffic unless you rent the vehicle between June and August. This is because foot and road traffic increases during these particular months due to the increased number of tourists. If you rent a vehicle during this period, it's safe to say that the traffic you'll come across will be mostly rentals by other visitors.

When I went to pick up the car my credit card wasn't working when putting in the machine. The representative said he couldn't enter it manually. Finally it worked but almost had a heart attack if it didn't. Then on my on 2nd to last day the battery went bad had to call road side assistance and was told it would be a $55 charge. The AAA driver said it was the original battery and wouldn't hold a charge and probably would have to call the next morning. Fortunately I ran the car for about an hour and half and it did start the next day and the enterprise representative waived the fee.

Pickup was fast, good, well maintained. Car. Paperwork was a minimum. Drop off was during a huge rainstorm at Santa Barbara airport. They were Avis reps outside who took care of just about everything. Couldn't have been better under the circumstances.
