KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Corona

  • Suppose your visit to California coincides with major events and festivals; expect some challenges when driving your cheap car rentals in Corona. Popular events in the region include the Chino Valley Foodie Festival in April, filled with incredible food and fun. If you are coming in the first week of July, you will find the locals preparing for Independence Day on the 4th of July. As these events attract large crowds of locals and other guests, the roads leading to the venues may be closed. This diverts some routes, causing a significant traffic jam in the area, and renters are thus likely to find delays at their car rental agencies.
  • The legal minimum age to rent a car in Corona, California, is 21. However, this could vary based on the Corona car rental agency and the type of vehicle. For higher-class categories and luxurious vehicles, the minimum rental age is 25, and renters may sometimes be required to pay the surcharges. Those visiting from other countries must produce valid driver’s licenses issued in their countries of origin. Furthermore, some companies might ask you to provide documents like a passport and visa showing proof of your legal status in the country before booking cheap rental cars in Corona. Transactions are by credit and debit cards, although some agencies only accept credit cards.
  • It would be best to familiarize yourself with traffic regulations before driving cheap rental cars in Corona. To start with, remember that driving is on the right-hand side of the road, while overtaking is on the left-hand side of the road.  Some common punishable traffic offenses include making illegal turns on the street, disobeying the speed limits, and failing to stop at traffic signs. Also, traffic authorities in Corona are very strict with those who drive under the influence. If you are below 21, your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) should not exceed 0.01%. If you are 21 or older, your BAC should not exceed 0.08%.
  • You will definitely want to consider a car rental in Corona, a growing suburb of Los Angeles, to have the maximum freedom to get around like a local. Not only does your car rental put you just an hour from sunny Palm Springs and 45min away from Los Angeles and local beaches surrounding, but it also puts you just a half-hour away from Lake Mathews Estelle Mountain Reserve and 45min away from the San Bernardino National Forest. You can also try a hand of golf or hiking in Eagle Glen. Around town visit the Fender Museum and check on the local day spas fed by natural local sulfur hot springs. If you’ve always dreamed of traveling up the coast Highway 101 along the sunny Pacific Ocean, be sure to book your Corona car rental to make that dream a reality.
  • Several airports are close to Corona. The Ontario International Airport is closest, a mere 20min drive away. The Orange County John Wayne Airport is also fairly close, under 30min drive. Los Angeles International Airport is a bit further afield, a 50min drive, but has a large number of flight offerings. At the Ontario International Airport, there are free shuttles between all passenger terminals the Rental Car Center. Simply proceed to the street outside the baggage claim area to board your free shuttle. At the Orange County John Wayne Airport, car rental companies are also located offsite but will arrange to pick up passengers from the main terminal to bring them to the rental car offices and retrieve their car rental. If you choose to fly into Los Angeles International Airport, proceed to the street outside the baggage claim terminal and find the signs for car rental pickup and a shuttle will transport you to the car rental offices on-site, a mere 3min drive away.
  • Like other cities in the surrounding areas of Los Angeles, Corona is plagued by traffic. This sometimes causes conflicts with pedestrians and accidents have been known to happen along Via Pacifica and Sixth Street. Cycling in Corona is not common given the sheer number of cars on the road. Also beware of the intersection of 5th Street and Victoria Ave, where various accidents have taken place.
  • The "Corona Crawl" is infamously one of the toughest rush hours throughout Southern California. Freeway 91 is frequently backed up from Main Street for most of the morning, starting as early as 6am and continuing well through 10am. On some days this traffic even has a spillover to the main city streets in Corona. This rush hour can start up again as early as 4pm and last until 7pm. Plan your journey accordingly to avoid getting stuck in gridlock traffic.

Cons:

I rented a small car for my significant other and I to go to Vegas for the weekend. I arrived to pick-up the vehicle and the lady was going to give me a large van. She told me since I paid for the manager special that van was the special for the day. I told her, that is too big and she said that is the last car she has. I told her to cancel and she said she couldn't so I went to Enterprise and luckily they had a vehicle for me at the last moment. Hertz credited me for the rental but Hertz should've of notified me about the van in advance. There website said a similar vehicle, a van is not similar to the car I rented. Can you imagine how much gas I would've used?

KAYAK

Pros:

The Camry was a perfect fit for our family of four. It appeared newer and in better shape than a car with 33k miles--well maintained! It got >40 MPG on my drive to and from AZ.

Cons:

I did not experience the two staff at pick up as very warm or attentive. One was already helping someone, but the second, who appeared to be doing computer work (she had no one in front of her being helped), barely acknowledged me and made no effort to help me. Finally, a third worker appeared.

THERE WERE NO CARS AVAILABLE, but Kayak didn’t care! No, they organized the rental anyway, and helped the Allianz insurance company charge me money for a policy I NEVER USED. Then, when I was almost to my destination, I got a call from the Budget office to inform me there wasn’t a car for me to pick up! I’ll never use Kayak again. Awful experience, zero customer service.
