KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sacramento

  • If you rent a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Sacramento, there are various destinations outside the city you can drive to with ease. Lodi Wine Country is one of these destinations. Located 36 miles (58km) from Sacramento, this town is home to several wineries, historic landmarks, and restaurants you can check out. The Sonoma Valley is another destination you can quickly drive to. Situated approximately 80 miles (128km) from Sacramento, this town is worth visiting if you’re a nature lover. Alternatively, you can drive to the Jamestown 1897 Historical Park, which is 93 miles (150km) away from Sacramento. From Sacramento, you’ll take 1h to drive to Lodi Wine Country, 1h 30min to drive to The Sonoma Valley, and 2h to drive to Jamestown.
  • Sacramento has strict street fines. In this city, some streets, like main streets, are standard fine zones, while others, like those found near hospitals and schools, are double fine zones. If you’re caught driving a rental from any of the cheap car rentals in Sacramento between 1 and 15 mph over the set speed limit, you will pay a fine of $35 if the street you’re on is a standard zone and $70 if the street you’re caught on is in a double fine zone.
  • At Sacramento International Airport, you’ll easily rent a car, as it has various Sacramento car rentals. To drive to the city from the airport, you’ll begin by getting on I-5 S from Aviation Dr and Airport Boulevard. After 8.1 mi, take exit 520 from I-5 and turn left onto Richards Boulevard. Continue on CA-160 N/N Sacramento Freeway to El Camino Avenue. After 3.4 mi, take the exit on the left onto I-80BL E and after 0.7 mi, use the right 2 lanes to take exit 10 for El Camino Avenue. To get to the city center from this avenue, you will take two rights, one onto Albatross Way and another onto Woolley Way. You'll the take a left onto Cormorant Way before a final right onto Silica Avenue, which is at the heart of Sacramento’s business district.
  • While many of Sacramento's best features, including the State Capitol, are located in the downtown area and walking or public transportation are the best ways to go around, renting a car is a great option for travelers looking to explore other destinations outside the city. Driving is the best way to get to nearby places that are a must-see on every itinerary, such as California's Gold Country region, which lies on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Range. Tahoe City, located by the Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains, is a two-hour drive from Sacramento. For an unforgettable wine tasting experience, drive to Napa Valley, which is only about an hour west of Sacramento.
  • All the big car rental agencies can be found at Sacramento International Airport (SMF), at the rental car terminal. There is a free shuttle bus service that stops at the rental car terminal, and it runs every 10 minutes or so from both Terminals A and B.
  • Because it was built on a grid, Sacramento is usually easy to navigate when driving. However, some areas may have unmarked one-way streets, so make sure you check in which direction the cars are parked if you end up in a confusing intersection. This city also has pretty chilly winters, so make sure you are extra careful when driving if the weather conditions aren't ideal.
  • Sacramento has experienced an increase in congestion during rush hour in recent years, so avoid driving between 7 - 9 a.m., and then again between 3:30 - 6 p.m, as it can easily add one or more hours to your travel time. Both Highway 50 and the I5 experience high traffic levels during rush hour. If you have somewhere to be, plan ahead and leave yourself plenty of time to avoid being late.

Sacramento car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Sacramento 
Verified travelerFeb 2024
Car was clean, Pickup and drop off were easy. A bit pricey for one day rental.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Enterprise doesn’t hide or sneak in charges. Use enterprise. They’re pretty upfront.
Verified travelerNov 2023
I tried to save a little coin and I rode the light rail rather than using Lyft or Uber. The light rail stop is across the street from the Avis at 500 12th street. It's a slightly sketchy part of town so go during the day.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Driving in Sacramento was mostly fine. There is a lot of construction right now, so be careful of signs and redirected traffic.
AndrewNov 2023
Charging an EV in Sacramento is hit-or-miss at the moment.
Verified travelerJun 2023
The 16th street location experience was far better than any of the airport pickup experiences. Would highly recommend this location.
Verified travelerAug 2023
It is very convenience. Nice city as well.
AlejandroAug 2023
Driving in Sacramento is easy
Verified travelerMay 2023
Know that Avis, Budget and Payless are all Budget, but there is nothing in the signage to indicate that. I went and stood in front of the Payless window, and was there for a while before someone told me that the Budget line was the same for Payless as well. By that time, 10-12 people had gotten in line ahead of me. That was annoying, but not enough to ruin my day.
DonaldMay 2023
Make sure you double-check the location! It seems like third-party sites tend to send you to locations away from the airport (of course for pricing reasons). But it can cause an unnecessary headache and hassle.

Cons:

Kayak quoted me around $400 to rent a car for the specified period of time. When I arrived at the Enterprise location, they told me that the cheapest option they had available was going to cost around $900 (including insurance). I had no choice because of the situation I was in, but I was incredibly disappointed that Kayak's quote was so far off. If I had known it would have cost that much, I absolutely would not have rented from this location. I will probably not be using Kayak anymore.

While booking, there were 2 managers specials advertised for this location. One that was for a fully electric car, and one that said determined at pickup. I knew an electric car wouldn’t work for the distance I needed to travel, so I selected the option that didn’t state fully electric. However, when I arrived they told me that the manager’s specials were only electric and that there were no gas vehicles available at the rate I had booked, and it was $25 more per day plus taxes and fees to get the only gas vehicle they had available. If it had been stated more clearly at booking that all of the manager’s specials could be fully electric, I would have made a different decision at the time of booking. Otherwise though, the staff was friendly.

They overcharged me, the staff is very rude and unhelpful (Mary/Mariella in Oakland front desk) she wouldn't even try to help. Customer service on the phone has been a waste of time and am still waiting for a refund email.

The cat we originally picked up did not have good fuel economy. We drove it for 3 days and then rang Budget to ask about exchanging it. They said take it in to Sacramento airport desk and they will sort it. We did this and the gentleman at the counter could not have been more helpful. We picked a Hyundai Elantra and it was perfect for our trip down south to the Grand Canyon and southern national parks. Full marks to Budget for their customer service and no hassle car hire.

The first car I was given was smaller than I reserved because the orignal had not been cleaned yet. However, the one I was given was full of ants. I didn’t notice until the drive to my office, but by the time I arrived there I didn’t have time to return. Luckily I ended a meeting early allowing me to return for a new car and was given one actually in my class. This was a major hassle for me and made me late in leaving for my trip, not to mention having to spray to kill the ants in the first car I was given.

Cons:

Full size car not available. Have a car with nasty stale cigarette smell. Then changed to a very small SUV calling it an upgrade. Line waiting at Sacramento was half hour with 3 customers in line. Budget needs to streamline the process and provide a clean car as promised. I paid $317 for 4 days rental. Expect better.

After waiting for 10 min they said my car wasn't available. Waited another 10 min and then canceled. Staff was not customer friendly and did not respond well to or resolve my complaints. When I said I was going to Alamo one staff member said"good luck" sarcastically.

Pickup was easy but later we discovered the driver side front lock did not work and when you started the car up and backed up, the brakes made an awful sound. Brought these to the attention of the manager when we brought the car back. They did an investigation but we have not heard back from them.

Pros:

Staff was extremely friendly, however it was a hertz employee because you guys only had one representative. I felt bad because the line was long and a lot of ppl were upset at her but clearly it was not her fault.

Staff was extremely unprofessional and does not take accountability for their lack of thoroughness with their product. The van we rented was in severe need of a check-up - tail lights not working, oil change, alignment, electrical, etc.... when this brought to their attention they only made excuses and told us “well, you rented a van.” They didn’t care. Don’t rent a van from this company.
