KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bishop

  • Consider getting car rentals in Bishop when you visit California and gain the flexibility and comfort of driving across the city and to other surrounding locations. The city boasts a wide range of attractions and hidden gems, and you can seamlessly explore these destinations with Bishop car rentals. While you can access some of these locations via public transportation, such as buses or trains, it usually takes a while. With your car rentals in Bishop, you are confident of getting to your destinations on time. You can adventure the Laws Railroad Museum, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, Lake Sabrina Boat Landing, and Inyo National Forest.
  • Two airports serve Bishop; Fresno Airterminal Airport (FAT) and Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH). If you land at FAT, you will encounter several car rental agencies operating on-site desks. The desks are across from the baggage claim area. The car rental desks at MMH are inside the terminal building at 85 Airport Rd. The popular car rental providers are Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, Alamo, National, and Budget. Consider getting your car rentals in Bishop at the airport to start adventuring as soon as you land.
  • Generally, driving your car rentals in Bishop is safe due to the well-established and maintained roads. However, driving across the city comes with its fair share of challenges, requiring you to be attentive. For instance, despite being outlawed, pedestrians still jaywalk. Although it is uncommon, pedestrians may overlook crosswalk regulations. Drive cautiously, especially in densely populated areas, to avoid hitting them. Again, bikers are generally impatient and may occasionally ignore traffic regulations. Remember to pay attention to them, especially when overtaking or approaching them.
  • Like other cities in California, Bishop experiences dense traffic during rush hours. Road congestion during peak travel times is due to streets and roads brimming with vehicles, as several residents access the city with private vehicles. Watch out for rush hours, which usually start from 7 am to 10 am, and from 4 am to 7:30 pm. Endeavor to plan your routes well to avoid getting into traffic snarl-ups or ending up behind an unmoving truck. Densely populated zones like commuters and narrow streets are areas to avoid.

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

Kayak needs to check to see if they are actually renting car's when you book a car rental. We got a call 1 day before our trip to find out that National was closed at Mammoth Lakes airport and we would have to go to Bishop for a car (44 miles away). We ended up not renting.

Cons:

When I arrived to pick up my "reservation" I was informed that "This was booked on a 3rd party site, and we don't have cars". I don't know if the issue is with Kayak, National, or the staff at that local location, but it ended up costing me $60 to get back from the airport to catch a ride home.

Pros:

The agent at the desk was very helpful. He handled difficult situations well--two parties had no transportation due to misunderstandings on their part.

Cons:

The gas policy--or lack of one. Because there were no papers exchanged, I didn't even think of the gas policy until I was on the road and noted the tank was below half full.

I received a call an hour before taking off to go to Bishop that my reserved car would not be available and they had no other cars to give me. The person who called to tell me said he would be at the airport when I arrived, however he was not there. I had to scramble and find another mode of transportation to get to my destination.

KAYAK

Pros:

All locations staff were very helpful and friendly. Every person I dealt with at Hertz was awesome.

Cons:

Both cars were not clean inside... crud in cup holders, not vacuumed well. Exterior not clean... The car I originally rented was a 2015 Nissan Rouge with about 40,000 miles on it. It was fine at first, but as soon as I got on the passes going from California to Washington any speed over 45 the steering would shake... semis were passing me and the drive was very stressful. I tried to exchange the car in Oregon, but there were no rental places open. I made it to Bremerton, Washington by Monday and immediately called the Hertz there. For three days they tried to find me a replacement ca (or so they said) and they finally said they were unable to. I had to leave to head back to Ca and tried to find rental replacements along the way with no success. Finally in Medford the airport was able to replace the car. They were shocked that the hood did not close properly and the car was in such bad shape they thought it should not be in the fleet. The fun didn't end there though. When I got back to Oakhurst, Ca to return the car, their records showed that I had returned the first car but that I had never rented the second car! Still trying to figure out that paperwork debacle. :/
