KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Indio

  • While some public transportation can be found in the area, it is minimal, leaving car rentals in Indio as the best way to travel throughout the city. By having access to Indio car rentals, you will be able to save time and travel as efficiently as possible. Being able to drive your own vehicle means that you can easily go to sights that are not in the city center. For example, there is the Shields Date Garden, which is around a 15-minute drive from the city center. You can also go to some neighboring cities, like Palm Springs or Riverside.
  • Travelers have the option of picking up car rentals in Indio directly from Palm Springs International Airport (PSP). Palm Springs International Airport has its own car rental center that can be found in the Arrivals terminal, almost directly next to baggage claim. There are quite a few rental companies that have offices here, including Hertz, Enterprise, and Thrifty. The fleet for each of these companies can be found on airport property.
  • Those driving car rentals in Indio will want to be sure that they are familiar and comfortable with various local driving laws. For example, when driving in the state of California, you will always want to use the left-hand lane to pass other vehicles, rather than the right-hand lane. Whenever you are using your windshield wipers, you must also turn on your low-beam headlights. Be careful if you choose to drink, as the state of California has strict DUI laws that prohibit individuals from operating a vehicle if they have a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher.
  • Avoid getting caught in a traffic jam by staying off the roads during particularly busy times. For the region, rush hour is usually between 7:30 and 9:30 am and 5:00 and 7 pm. Some of the streets that are known for being especially busy during rush hour include Highways 10, 86, and 111. If you are on the road during rainy weather, make sure to pay special attention as well, as the roads tend to be more slippery than usual.

Got to rental office. They had no cars. All of their rentals had been double booked. They said their computer would never tell people they had no cars for rent. Why on earth would you continue to rent cars that you knew you didn’t have available. Took well over 2.5 hours for a car to come in that I could have. I missed the event I needed to be at. I don’t think I should have to pay a dime for that rental. I am calling Enterprise today to ask for a refund which I expect them to decline because I went through Kayak. I would like someone from Kayak to contact Me and tell me how they are going to make this right. If I dont receive a refund from Kayak or Enterprise by noon today I will call ly credit card company and dispute charges. I can be reached at 303. 475.7284. MY name is Terri. Thank you.

When we arrived to pick up the vehicle, they told us there was no vehicle able. They said that many people were in the same situation and they were unsure as to why the system enabled us to book a car. I then said that systems sometimes fail, and while that is bad enough, there were two people working in the rental office who could have picked up the phone to tell us not to come. We arrived at 9:50am and were scheduled to pick up at 9am so that was 50 minutes they could have done so. They didn't even apologize, it was honestly the most infuriating experience and the whole point of me going to Palm Spring was to see Joshua Tree which I didn't get to see.
