Also, you can drive through the 91 freeway that runs north-south through Moreno Valley. You may also drive through Interstate 215 (I-215), a freeway that runs east-west through Moreno Valley. This freeway is particularly useful for exploring areas beyond the city, such as San Bernardino and Temecula.
  • If you choose an EV rental from one of the cheap car rentals in Moreno Valley, you don't have to worry about power running out. The city is well equipped with public charging ports – over 80 in total. Some of the most popular charging stations located here are Winco Foods, Waste Management Resource 1, Beyond Mart, Kaiser Permanente, Sorano Ayres Hotel & Spa, and the Riverside University Health Hospital. Many of these locations provide 24-hour access to ensure that drivers never face charge inconvenience. Additionally, many of these EV charging stations offer free access to electricity.
  • Moreno Valley has roads requiring extra driving attention, just like any other metropolitan area. The worst traffic conditions are typically experienced on roads leading into and out of the city and on major thoroughfares within the city limits. Take extra care when you drive your rental car along the busy 215 freeway with several cuts through town. Also, you need to be careful when approaching intersections due to massive traffic from diverse sides, such as the Moreno Beach Drive and Cactus Avenue intersection.
  • There are several reasons why you should opt for car rentals in Moreno Valley, as rental cars provide ultimate expediency in terms of visiting the city at your own convenience. There are a few major airports that are remotely located from Moreno Valley city center, such as the Orange County John Wayne Airport (SNA), which is approximately 40 miles away, ideal for when you’re using a personal vehicle. There are also a few popular attractions distanced from the business center, such as Diamond Valley Lake located in the Moreno Valley area around 29 miles away, filled with trails ideal for hiking and biking.
  • The major and closest airport near Moreno Valley is the Ontario International Airport, approximately 23 miles away. It has multiple Moreno Valley car rentals on-site such as Avis, Hertz, Budget, and Enterprise, which can be found by exiting the baggage claim area at the terminal, taking the common airport shuttle bus to the Ground Transportation Center, then follow the airport signs for Rental Car Return, which will lead to the rental cars lot. All these rental agencies have off-site locations at the city center on University Ave, which is easily reachable via the numerous shuttle services and taxicabs.
  • While driving on the streets of Moreno Valley, motorists are warned to be cautious not only by observing traffic rules but to also be aware of people who jaywalk on the roads without warning.

In the mornings, rush hour usually sets off at around 6:30am to 8:30am and picks back up at around 3pm to 5pm when residents are heading back to their homes.

I booked 3 days prior for a 12:00 pm pick-up, when we arrived at pickup time they didn’t have a car ready for us. They said they had called the night before to let us know they didn’t have a car available but we never recieved a call. Instead of giving us a car they had outside in the lot they told us to call back in three hours to see if someone had dropped one off. When we called they did have one available and it was supposedly an upgrade. They have us a Ford Focus. Yeah what an upgrade. Wont be doing business here again.
