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.

Pros:
By the time I arrived they offered an upgrade because of the high season they didn’t have the unit I asked for, and I didn’t take it because was going to increase my budget for the insurance, so they wanted to compensate searching for a unit in other location, but I was lucky that a client arrived with the unit I reservedCons:

2.0 Poor
Sep 2020
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.2.4 Poor
May 2019
Pros:
Staff was over taxed and under prepared. Misrepresented their abilities and timeliness.Cons:

Took an hour and 20 minutes to receive a car after we called right when they opened and confirmed we’d be coming and needed a car to drive 2 hours to make a flight. Horrible service.9.6 Wonderful
Nov 2017
Pros:
If you aren't using the third row the storage capacity is fantastic (which is what we did). Very smooth ride, with an amazing turning radius. It was a pleasure to drive.Cons:
Apparently the bluetooth was disabled. That is unfortunate as we like to ensure we are safely handsfree. It is big so we were concerned about getting into tight spaces but we didn't have any issues.10.0 Wonderful
