Roads in La Quinta are wide, quiet, and well-maintained. Also, in general, you do not see much traffic congestion in La Quinta. However, keep in mind that La Quinta is in the desert. Therefore, those driving car rentals in La Quinta should make sure you have a good pair of sunglasses. Also, make sure that you have a lot of water with you in the car. And, if you will be heading out on a desert highway, make sure your gas tank is at least half full when you leave since gas stations are much fewer and farther between once you are in the desert. Also, if you have another driver with you, change drivers frequently, since desert driving can become mesmerizing.
When driving car rentals in La Quinta, you might face a few challenges once you get out onto the highways and freeways that connect you to other desert cities in Coachella Valley. In April, during the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, many roads in and around La Quinta will be closed. So, if you are renting a car in April in La Quinta, be aware of road closures. Also, as you are driving north on Highway 111, the road narrows in Cathedral City and traffic becomes congested. Also, drivers in Coachella Valley are notorious for not using their blinkers and for not coming to complete stops at stop signs. So, drive defensively, ready for people to change lanes unexpectedly, and at a stop sign, expect other cars to simply do rolling stops.

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.

They committed fraud on me, they charged me an extra 134 dollars from my account, they claim that I did not fill the gas tank and that is lies. I have proof that if I did fill it, if I have to go to court for this, I will do it if they do not return my money.

Inside of car, front and bach seats, and trunk area strewn with trash from prior renters. Very disappointing, otherwise the experience was “good” overall.
