KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Crescent City

  • Car rentals in Crescent City can get you where you are going markedly faster than depending on public transportation schedules and limited destinations. In Crescent City car rentals, you can travel from The Point St. George Beach Trails to the Castle Rock National Wildlife Reffuge to Beachfront Park to the Walmart Supercenter, all according to your own agenda. Those driving car rentals in Crescent City can head north to the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest or south to the Redwood National and State Parks.
  • Located just 3 miles to the northwest of Crescent City, the Del Norte County Regional Airport (CEC) makes an ideal location for securing Crescent City car rentals. Contour Airlines runs flights out of CEC to and from the Oakland International Airport (OAK). When a Contour flight is scheduled, you can access car rental agencies inside the passenger terminal building. When Contour flights are not scheduled, you can access car rental agency desks at the Cal Ore Life Flight FBO office at CEC. Rental cars are parked both outside the baggage claim area and outside Cal Ore Life Flight. When you return your vehicle, go to the same parking lot where you collected it.
  • Traffic in Crescent City tends to be calm, quiet, and manageable. If you want to drive north or south beyond Crescent City, you have the choice of taking the more winding Highway 101, which runs along the shores of the Pacific Ocean, or the faster Interstate 5, which is a little bit further inland, but runs north and south from Washington to Southern California.
  • For people who secure car rentals in Crescent City, there are a number of problems you need to be on the lookout for. On the city roads, you can often encounter potholes, so drive carefully. Also, there are no sidewalks near some of the schools, so kids sometimes walk in the road. Be very careful when driving through a school zone. Also, a number of streetlights in the city seem to be out at any given time, so exercise caution when driving in the dark. The crime rate is high in Crescent City and cars get broken into a lot. Therefore, for those driving car rentals in Crescent City, be careful not to leave valuables or your luggage in your rental vehicle.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Crescent City?

    For those looking into car rentals in Crescent City, consider renting an SUV.

And if you will be taking a road trip down along the California coast, an SUV can afford great views as well as relaxed comfort.

    In town, most roads have a speed limit of 25 mph, such as in the business district. Running north and south of Crescent City, Highway 101 has a speed limit of 70 mph outside Crescent City.

When the 4-lane highway narrows to two lanes, the 65 mph speed limit quickly becomes 55 mph.

    Parking at the Del Norte County Regional Airport is always free. If you are renting a campsite in Crescent City, all extra vehicles cost $5 to park.

Would have been nice for the location to actually be open. Was closed- called budget to help and was told I could go to another car car rental agency- waited almost an hour for someone to show up- when she arrived she was extremely rude and flippant. Will not use budget again. The person at the enterprise counter was extremely helpful and apologetic. They will get my business from now on

The absolute rudest counter person I've ever met. Apparently she is bothered by coming to work.
