KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Claremont

  • Claremont car rentals provide a flexible transportation alternative for travelers exploring various city areas. Unlike the public transportation system, car rentals in Claremont offer the benefit of selecting your desired travel times and choosing the most convenient route to reach your destination. Unlike fixed bus schedules and routes, rental cars in Claremont grant you the convenience of driving to popular attractions in Lorain, such as the Claremont Packing House, California Botanic Garden, and Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.
  • If you're flying into Claremont, you'll likely land at Los Angeles Airport (LAX), which is approximately 50 miles from the city. LAX has a variety of rental companies whose desks are located near its grounds. Rental car offices are outside the airport premises, away from the airline terminals. To assist customers, these rental car companies meet arrivals at designated areas indicated by a purple sign that reads "Rental Car Shuttles." These meeting points are located outside the baggage claim area on the Lower/Arrivals Level islands.
  • When driving car rentals in Claremont, there are a few important things to keep in mind. Be aware that Claremont is a pedestrian-friendly city, so it's essential to always watch out for pedestrians. Jaywalking is common, so be prepared for pedestrians potentially entering the road unexpectedly. Be cautious when driving near schools and residential areas, as children may be present. Familiarize yourself with the parking regulations, as parking spaces may have specific time limits or permit requirements.
  • Driving car rentals in Claremont presents a few challenges drivers should be aware of. The city experiences heavy traffic during peak hours, 9 am to 11 am and 6 pm to 8 pm, especially on major roads like Foothill Boulevard and Indian Hill Boulevard. Navigating through congested areas can require patience and careful attention. Claremont's narrow, winding residential streets can pose challenges, especially for larger vehicles. Parking can also be limited in certain areas, requiring drivers to search for available spaces. The presence of pedestrians and bicyclists demands extra caution and awareness while driving.

Car was not ready. Had to wait almost 45 minutes until another customer returned a vehicle. It caused my party to have to use Lyft because I wasn’t able to drive them to our destination. It was the entire reason I rented the car. Very disappointed yes with the experience.

Car broke down on me first day using it and almost left me stranded, I barely made it home before the car died and then trying to get ahold of someone to help me was a nightmare. I tried calling the actual store that I rented from but kept getting sent to a national customer service and kept getting different answers from different people. Tow truck took 4 hours to get to me after calling for it. Still trying to get a refund since I only got to use the car for 1 of the 4 days I rented it. Will not be going back

We had to exchange the rental because we got a flat tire. At some point, our entire reservation didn't exist in the system. When I tried to change our drop off location, I was made aware that they believed the car had been returned the day before (??????) and it might be complicated because I have a car there was no record of.

Adriene C. at the drop off was very helpful. But by then- it was too late to recover the previous events

Cons:

1- waiting in a long line for over an hour to pick up a car is insane. The one guy said everyone called off and the could not replace their shifts- really? 2- when you call, you do not get a local person. I had questions about dropping off on a holiday and was told the location was OPEN.

KAYAK

Pros:

The rental price was very reasonable.

Cons:

Through KAYAK I was quoted "Unlimited Miles," however when I arrived to pick up the van, I was told that there was a 375 mi/day limit and that I would be charged $.45 for every additional mile. Apparently, there is a discrepancy between what KAYAK quotes and what AVR quotes - and the customer is responsible for uncovering that discrepancy. The address that I was given by KAYAK to pick-up the vehicle was incorrect... closed due to COVID-19. Luckily, there was someone at that closed location who was able to direct me to the proper address (which was only 2 miles away). The van was clean... sort of. There was a noticeable amount of sand in the carpets from the previous users who, most likely, went to the beach. In light of COVID-19, I was told that all the surfaces were sprayed with Lysol.

Cons:

The first van I picked up failed to start after I brought home and packed the van with my luggage. It took me about 30 minutes to reach someone to report the issue. I had to drive back to the location and exchanged out for another van. The overall experience was a bit frustrating.

Pros:

Horrible experience will never use AVR.

Cons:

For starters, I made a reservation and the office was never open. I waited 2 hours and called the number and no one ever answered or anything. Not even an apology or anything. I had to go to another agency and had to pay more because it was a same day reservation. So upset. Never using Kayak again either.

KAYAK

Pros:

When we went to pick up our van, no one was on property. My husband called the number provided. When a lady answered she stated they had no vans available and all reservations had been cancelled. She stated everyone was contacted the day before. I can assure you NOONE from any company contacted us to cancel our reservation. This was for our daughters ‘drive thru’ graduation so we could take our family to see her graduate. This company ruined that experience for her and our family. We spent the entire morning scrambling to find another van, ending up spending 400x the money. Our attorney is contacting this company. What a horrible experience. I would NEVER recommend such an unscrupulous business!

Cons:

The business should have honored their reservations. The corporate office should answer their phones and emails. I’ve yet to receive a response from their corporate office as to an explanation. Do Not Trust this rental company. We were not the only customer standing there.

Jun 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

This place was shuttered and in the ghetto and did not answer our many calls previous to and during our pick-up time. It is literally a shell of a rental company and a scam. We were left high and dry on a van rental for a family vacation and had to scramble to figure something else out for ourselves after we spent much time driving out to them and trying to get them to respond. Disappointed and angry!

Although I understood my car reservation was subject to the company’s choice of car I never expected to been offered a fully electric, sub standard Chevy Bolt partially charged. I was never been informed ahead of time that this was a possible choice, I found out at the time I went to pick up the car, I was not offered any other choice of car at the similar rate. This was a very stressful situation which derailed my vacation plans that required a long road trip. I been a customer of this Hetrz location in Montclair, CA and never had any problems before. I kindly request the charged fees to be reverted to my credit card. Sincerely Ozzy Gomez

Apr 2021

Pros:

I called HERTZ the morning of my rental asking if they had a pick up service and I was told yes. I asked if I could schedule my pick up by 3:30 since my rental pick was at 4:00pm and was told there was no need to schedule my pick up to call back when I was ready. At 3:15pm I called and when I was asked my address I was told that I was out of the 5 miles radius by now it was 3:30pm. Then I was told that I could call Lift or Uber that they would pay for my trip. I requested a pick up from Uber which my trip cost me $52.79. Once I was helped I asked for my credit for the Uber ride and was told that they can only give me $15.00 however, they couldn't even give me the $15.00 credit since I booked utilizing a 3rd party. So bottom line they didn't give me the credit of $15.00 nor paid for the Uber ride. I also had to wait for them to go get the car washed.

Pros:

The wait was long. I did not get the car that I already reserved and paid for. Had to call their 800 number myself to request a refund because the Hertz at this location would not do it.

Cons:

What is the point of having a car reserved and paid for if Hertz just gave it to someone else because I was not there to pick it up on time? What worse. The lady came back to tell me there is another car, but I would need to pay more.
