KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in El Dorado Hills

  • There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in El Dorado Hills. Firstly, the city is a suburban area and relies heavily on private transportation. Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore the surrounding attractions at your own pace. Public transportation options in the area are also limited, and the bus service is infrequent. Having El Dorado Hills car rentals will also allow you to venture out to the nearby nature reserves and parks, such as Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. These parks are home to beautiful trails, lookout points, and picnic areas, and are best reached by car.
  • Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the closest airport to El Dorado Hills as it is located approximately 30 miles away. The rental car offices at SMF are located in a consolidated rental car terminal, which is accessible by a shuttle bus that picks up passengers at both terminals. The shuttle buses run every 10 minutes and take less than 5 minutes to reach the rental car terminal. Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK) is located roughly 60 miles from El Dorado Hills and is a smaller airport with limited options for rental cars. The airport only has one major rental car agency, which is located on site and does not require a shuttle service to reach.
  • Visitors can expect driving cheap car rentals in El Dorado Hills to be generally easy and straightforward, but there are a few things to keep in mind. One thing to look out for is wildlife on the roads. Since El Dorado Hills is located near nature reserves and parks, deer and other animals are often seen crossing the road. It's important to be aware of your surroundings and slow down if you see any animals near the road. Bicycles are fairly common on the roads, especially on weekends and in the summer months. Drivers should be careful when passing bikers and give them enough space.
  • The rush hour in El Dorado Hills usually occurs during weekdays from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. During these times, traffic can be heavy on the main roads such as Town Center Boulevard, El Dorado Hills Boulevard, and Highway 50. During the winter season, some areas around El Dorado Hills may experience snow and icy conditions, particularly at higher elevations. Driving cheap car rentals in El Dorado Hills in these conditions can be challenging and dangerous. In the rainy season, some roads may become slick and hazardous due to flooding or mudslides.

Hertz told me that Kayak screwed up by giving me a reservation. When I got to Hertz, they told me they had absolutely no vehicles available to me. It was extremely frustrating to need to scramble to find a car at another company. Thank goodness I wasn’t trying to get to an airport for a flight. I will NEVER use Kayak again for anything.

Cons:

The SUV I reserved was not there. Waited three and a half hours for resolution. Nothing. Couldn’t get one alternate vehicle because it needed an oil change. Couldn’t get a van because it needed registration renewal but it had permanent tags. Manager called corporate and person who could sign off didn’t return four phone messages in those three and a half hours. Left very upset with no vehicle.

The vehicle wasn’t ready - it hadn’t been cleaned. The drop off at the Redding airport was awkward. No good instructions on how to drop off.
