KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Redding

  • Car rentals in Redding make it easy to avoid public transportation and explore the city’s attractions on your own time, whether you’re heading to the Sundial Bridge or the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. A rental car will allow you to conveniently visit some of the neighboring cities, including towns like Red Bluff and Chico. You can even head to sites that are removed from the city center, like the scenic Bully Choop Mountain, which is about a 1h 30min drive from Redding.
  • If you are interested in booking Redding car rentals, you can pick up your vehicle directly from Redding Municipal Airport. Simply head to the rental car center, which can be found in the airport’s main building near the baggage claim in the arrivals terminal. As the center is on-site, you won’t have to worry about taking a shuttle or taxi to get there. You will find several different companies to choose from, including Avis, Budget, and Hertz.
  • Some neighborhoods in Redding have many small, winding streets that can be confusing to navigate if you are not familiar with the area. To help prevent yourself from getting lost, consider adding a GPS system to car rentals in Redding. Downtown Redding has many pedestrians and cyclists, so always keep your eyes open for them when you are driving in this area.
  • Many of the highways in the area, such as 44 and 299, become busy during rush hour due to residents commuting into and out of the city for work. If you don’t want to find yourself stuck in this congestion, try to avoid driving on these roads between the hours of around 8am to 9:30am and around 5pm to 6pm. It also frequently rains in the city, which can cause slippery roads. If you are driving during a storm, always try to decrease your speed and pay close attention to your surroundings.
  • The county seat of Shasta County and the economic and cultural capital of the Shasta region, Redding is a wonderful place to visit. If you are looking for the best experience while in this Northern California city, then consider getting cheap Redding car rentals. Once you arrive at Redding Municipal Airport, you will find car rental companies like Budget, Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise. With your rented car, you can get to the city center via Airport Road and CA-44W. It takes approximately 13min to drive from the airport to the city center, a distance that could take you close to 30min via public transportation.
  • Redding is a beautiful city in northern California that is surrounded by scenic natural attractions and lots of things to do outdoors. With your cheap car rentals in Redding, you can start your Redding tour by heading to the Sacramento River Trail for a great photo moment. While here, spare some minutes to visit the Sundial Bridge. This 217-foot-tall bridge serves as the getaway to both downtown Redding and Sacramento River Trail. Next to the Sundial Bridge is an amazing family-friendly Turtle Bay Exploration Park where you can stop by to watch animal shows, visit the museum, and relax with your loved ones at the 20-acre McConnell Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.
  • If you are coming to Redding during winter, acquaint yourself with safe driving tips during winter. Northern California tends to experience heavy rain and snow. If you have to drive your cheap car rentals in Redding in bad weather, be sure to inspect your vehicle before hitting the road. Additionally, keep a safe distance, drive at reduced speed especially when it is raining, and always carry snow chains. Of course, be sure to dress for the weather too.

You should confirm this directly from the agency while shopping for the car to rent.

Amazing things: when I discovered I could not get to my destination without 4wd (freak snow storm), I called and was told that I could switch out my current rental for a suitable vehicle at no charge. The attendants at all 3 locations I visited throughout my trip were extremely kind and helpful. Somewhat less amazing- I could not get anyone in a local office on the phone. Luckily the CS team at the call center we’re right in their information about switching out but at the time my only option was to backtrack 2 hours to the closest open location and I was worried that I would get all the way there and no inventory would be available. Not being able to contact the individual Budget locations and actually being disconnected several times trying to get through their automated system was frustrating in a stressful situation. My first car was also a bit dirty but I wasn’t super worried about that, but it did prevent me from giving 5 stars for cleanliness

We weren’t able to rent the car. The guy at the counter was rude and pushy. He said they didn’t take our form of payment(which was a credit card). Also called and said that we couldn’t use the pickup time we asked for cause they closed at the time was asked for. Had to go to another rental and pay almost twice the price

Pros:

Very friendly-went above and beyond. My phone must have fallen out of my purse into the rental. I had no idea, returned the car, got in my sister’s car and we left. The woman working there found it so quickly, somehow knew which car I’d gotten into and she found us to get my phone to me. I didn’t get her name, but her action saved me so much stress and worry. I would not have expected she could find us out there and save the day! Brilliant!
