KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Mammoth Lakes

  • Consider booking car rentals in Mammoth Lakes any time you are in this California’s year-round adventure land. Mammoth Lakes Red Line Bus is the other transport option popular for its cost-effectiveness. Reserving Mammoth Lakes car rentals comes with the advantage of enhanced flexibility and convenience when visiting various parts of town. With your rented car, you have the freedom or deciding your own departure time and the routes to follow. Mammoth Mountains Ski Area is one of the places you may consider visiting with your rented car, which allows you to move around with your personal belongings conveniently.
  • Renting a car upon landing at Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) will allow you to enjoy self–drive from the airport to the city center and other destinations of your choice in Mammoth Lakes. Enterprise, National, and Hertz are the three major car rentals in Mammoth Lakes, with on-site car rental counters at MMH. The counters are inside the terminal building located specifically at 85 Airport Rd, Mammoth Lakes, 93546 9710, CA, California. From the baggage claim area, the clear signpost of each of these car rentals will lead you to their respective counters.
  • You need to remember a few things when driving your car in Mammoth Lakes. Most of the roads in downtown Mammoth Lakes are wide and in good condition, something that could tempt you to speed. You should resist this temptation because the number of cyclists on these roads is always high, especially in the mornings and evenings. Over-speeding puts you at risk of hitting them. If you are driving your car within the central business district, you should remember the high number of pedestrians, many of whom jump into roads without checking oncoming vehicles.

Like other towns in California, the morning rush hour in Mammoth Lakes starts at around 7 am and ends at around 10 am, while the evening rush hour starts at around 4 pm and ends at around 7 pm. During these periods, most of the roads in the town experience heavy traffic, with the most affected road being Route 395.

Great service at the pickup. The car had sluggish performance until I added a higher octane gas… the minimum required octane should be posted on the fuel tank fill cover.
