KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fallbrook

  • Fallbrook is a small city with limited public transportation options, so having a car provides greater flexibility and freedom to explore the area. The city's countryside also offers beautiful scenic drives, and a car allows visitors to easily visit nearby attractions such as the Myrtle Creek Botanical Gardens, the Santa Margarita River Trail, and the Pala Mesa Resort Golf Course. Fallbrook is also situated between San Diego and Los Angeles, making it a great base for exploring both cities and their many attractions.

The employees were very courteous and friendly. The only problem I had was I did not receive the car I reserved, as their policy is you must give them a credit card rather than a bank card for a deluxe car. I thought that was ludicrous, as the bank card shows you have the money for the car. I had to settle for a smaller, less deluxe car. However it did serve its purpose and was comfortable. The return was easy, and my security deposit was refunded immediately. I would definitely rent a car from them again.

Pros:

Comfortable vehicle with plenty of room. Pick up was easy.

Cons:

When I called in to get a Chevy Tahoe or similar vehicle to rent the agent told me that the price will be around $380 and there’s only one left to rent and it was at Indiana Ave in the city of Riverside,CA. When I arrived at the location there was no Tahoe available even tho I had made the reservation online and over the phone. There was a Ford Expedition there which was similar to the Tahoe but the agent who was there charged me $650 which was way higher than I expected but I was put into a tough spot so I rented the Expedition. I felt like it was a Bait and switch which is very troubling to me.

Pros:

Truck was a good size

Cons:

The vehicle was not ready at the time of reservation I received a phone call at 1:37 Enterprise did not properly clean the vehicle with standards of health and safety regulations for COVID-19. The exterior was not washed the bed of the truck had sappy goo on the left hand side that I had to hose down and use a degreaser to remove the sapp/sticky substance, windows were not clean, finger and hand prints were still visible on the exterior and interior of the door handles and windows and the frame of the doors from the previous renter. The truck was below a qtr. of a tank, they did not refill the window washing fluid, so when driving we were not able to use this feature of the truck when the weather conditions required better visibility. I found 1.5inch of clear liquid substance in the bottom console of the truck, which I discovered after leaving the rental spot and properly sanitizing the door handles and scrubbing the seats to remove stains from the seats. The vehicle was not vacuumed at all or wiped down. The written sign notification of cleaning standards was not completed or performed, violating all health and safety standards required by all rental businesses. In addition the manager did not disclose he was charging me the full amount plus the deposit $200 deposit totally $472 I had to call and ask on 3 occasions for a copy of my rental agreement by email. I ended up driving back to the location to get a paper copy of my agreement before leaving for my trip. In addition, The agreement provided did not indicate the deposit amount in parentheses. The rental time was also incorrect on the agreement. I was notified at 1:37pm by phone that the vehicle I requested had arrived. I did not pick up the vehicle till after 2:00pm
