KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cathedral City
- Car rentals in Cathedral City, California, are the perfect way to explore everything this small city has to offer. While you can find some public buses, these are few and far between and are not always the quickest way to get to your destination. This is why car rentals in Cathedral City will come in handy: you will not have to rely on the schedules and routes determined by public transport and you can instead explore the area on your own time. For example, you may want to take a road trip to nearby Joshua Tree National Park or visit Ocotillo Park in your Cathedral City car rentals.
- If you are flying to Cathedral City, you will most likely be arriving at Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) in the nearby town of Palm Springs. You will be happy to know that you can pick up car rentals in Cathedral City directly from PSP.

Mar 2017
Pros:
The employees were terrific, especially Keith and Jason. However, the first vehicle we received was so smoke tainted that my wife could not handle it. After a few fits and starts we did receive an upgraded vehicle to replace it, a Kia Optima. However, the Optima apparently has a quirk as the passenger front seat is so low to the ground and not adjustable the passengers are not comfortable.Cons:
See above. Also, given the increased rates as compared to the last couple years it seems like the vehicle should be newer than a 2015.7.2 Good

Pros:

Even though I had made a reservation, I had to wait 40 minutes for the car to be prepped.9.2 Wonderful
Mar 2017
Pros:
We rented the car for 6 weeks! Never did that before but it worked. We struck it lucky and happened to get a brand-new car (7 miles on the odometer when we got it!) and that was a treat. No surprises on the price.Cons:
It took a long long time to sign up and to return the car, because we rented it for so long, 6 weeks. Both times the agent had to turn us over to a specialist agent, and I don't find that surprising, but both times the first agent struggled with the problem for a very long time before turning us over. Also had to move our 6 weeks' worth of luggage from first to second agent, far away in one case. The reason we had to deal with an agent on our return was that we switched credit cards -- that ought to be quick and easy, surely?10.0 Wonderful
