KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fullerton

  • Renting a car for your trip to Fullerton works to your advantage. A car is excellent as it allows you to dictate your itinerary fully, whether you are in the town for business, pleasure, or education. With car rentals in Fullerton, you can avoid the hustle of buses. You can also access attractions like the American Sports Center, Medieval Times Buena Park, Knott’s Soak City Water Park, Knott’s Berry Farm, and the Big Tee Golf Course or the Fullerton Municipal Golf Course. Mobility stops being an issue the moment you visit one of the car rentals in Fullerton.
  • Cheap car rentals in Fullerton provide a more flexible mode of transportation when connecting to numerous locations. To rent a car from one of the Fullerton car rentals, you must be at least 25 years old. However, most rental car companies will accept customers who are at least 21 years old to rent certain types of vehicles, particularly those whose capacity does not exceed 5 passengers. However, tenants who are younger than 25 must pay an underage charge. You must possess a current driver's license in your name as one of the necessary documents. Additionally, while picking up the car from any of the car rental outlets, you must have a major credit card or debit card.
  • The best way to get to Fullerton is via the Fullerton Municipal Airport (FUL). You can take an airport shuttle to the rental lot about 20min away. The shuttle runs every 20min. Several car rentals in Fullerton at your disposal, including Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget, Airport Van, and Rent-4-Less. You must be at least 21 years of age to rent a car in Fullerton. Some rental agencies impose an age limit of 25 years and charge a fee to people aged 21-24. Inspect the terms of renting to avoid the young renter’s surcharge.
  • You must adhere to stringent Massachusetts child seat regulations when transporting your youngster in your rental car in Fullerton. These laws mandate that any child under the age of eight or shorter than 4'9" always ride in a suitable child restraint system. Depending on the child's age and height, this item may be a booster seat, a child car seat, or an infant-only seat. You can easily obtain an appropriate kid restraint system with any of the cheap car rentals in Fullerton for a small daily additional cost. Anyone over the age of eight or who has reached the height of 4'9" must travel in a seat secured by a safety belt.
  • The East side of Fullerton has many institutions of higher learning. Observe the speed limits around this area. It is an area famous for California State University, Hope International University, and St. Jude Medical Center. In this part of Fullerton, pedestrians make up most road users. The rest of the road users are usually cyclists, skaters, and people on electric scooters. Since they travel relatively slowly, it is best to match this speed to avoid accidents and injuries. You can also take the time to admire the structures on campus and the adjustent park.
  • Despite the city of Fullerton's extensive rocky terrain, driving there is typically smooth because most of the roads are in good shape, and most drivers are conscientious of traffic laws. However, rookie drivers could have a little trouble negotiating some of the city's complicated crossroads, particularly the crossings of Euclid and Orangethorpe and Chapman and Harbor. However, you can ask to have a GPS module placed in your car when you pick it up from your selected Fullerton car rental site. You'll be able to drive around the city like everyone else with ease, thanks to this.
  • You may experience some traffic congestion in the morning from 7 am to 9 am. The congestion arises from many people going to work and students attending school. In the evening, the traffic slows down to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists from the campus. Patience is required to avoid accidents. Roads are clear the rest of the time unless they are closed to accommodate construction, emergencies, or accidents. Observe the speed limit to keep yourself and those around you safe.

Pros:

staff was very friendly and helpful. when I needed to extend my car rental reservation they had no problem extending it for me on the phone.

Cons:

They just need to be more informative about certain details. example: if you return the car after the time you picked up the car than you will be charged an extra fee or another day.

Pros:

The staff was very professional, friendly, and accommodating. This was my first rental experience that I actually got a better car than the one I reserved—my previous 3 rentals had nowhere near the car reserved, even after confirmation the day before. To top it all off, the drop off could not have been any easier, and I was able to keep the car longer than anticipated. We will be going to this particular enterprise for all my rentals in the future.

Cons:

This experience was near flawless.

Pros:

The price I was given for the rental.

Cons:

The customer service was poor. Employees treat customers like numbers without any care and rushing through the paperwork without properly explaining. The car was extremely dirty on the inside and it was advertised that they now have added cleanliness but I did not see that.
