KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tulare

  • Tulare has limited public transportation options. Having car rentals in Tulare gives you the convenience of reaching specific destinations, like the Tulare County Museum, the International Agri-Center, or the Tulare Outlet Center. Renting a car saves you time by eliminating the need to wait for public transportation or search for taxis or rideshare services. If you have a significant amount of luggage or need to transport equipment or supplies during your trip, having a rental car offers the convenience of ample storage space. You won't have to worry about carrying your belongings around or dealing with luggage restrictions on other modes of transportation.
  • For those looking to pick up Tulare car rentals at an airport location in Tulare, CA, the Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) is the most convenient option in the area.

The staff at the Visalia Enterprise was professional and quick, the car worked well, and when we called to let them know we'd be a little late in returning the car they assured us it would be no problem. Will definitely rent from this place again.

Pros:

Staff was great at pickup. We had a problem locking a broken door, stopped at Hertz in Turlock and they were great.

Cons:

One back door and the side sliding door were broken. The back door had to be opened with a wrench. The sliding door could not be opened from inside.

Pros:

The people in Visalia were very easy to deal with. Unlike PDX were thier personnel were no were to be found. It seemed that drop off was based on having the smart phone. Which I don.t use. But after looking around I found a Hertz parking attendent, and he took my name and the keys. I perfer human interaction.

Cons:

More human interaction
