Top tips for renting a car from Hertz at San Diego Airport

  • If you book Hertz car rentals at San Diego Airport, you will enjoy driving yourself to San Diego City center and many other destinations, including major attraction sites. For example, you can drive your rented car to San Diego Zoo or Balboa Park, which are among the popular attraction sites near the airport. Compared to shuttles and taxis, which are the other transport options, San Diego Airport car rentals give more flexibility by allowing you to choose your own departure schedules. You will also avoid the inconvenience of long queues common to the shuttles’ station in Terminal A of the airport.
  • When planning to book Hertz car rentals at San Diego Airport, you need to remember two important things. The Hertz car rental location at the airport is highly rated, hence attracting a large number of renters. Reserving your car online, preferably through KAYAK, prior to arriving at the airport will help ensure you don’t miss your preferred car type or model. The other thing your need to remember is that the Hertz car rental counter at San Diego Airport is open from 6 am to 1 am. Consequently, you can only pick up your Hertz car during these hours.
  • Returning your Hertz car to San Diego Airport is more convenient with Hertz’s one-way car rental option. By choosing this option, you can pick up your car at the airport location and return to a different location without incurring an extra cost. However, Hertz recommends that drivers seeking to return their cars to a location different from San Diego Airport communicate in advance specifying the location to which they intend to return the car and reasons why they cannot return it to San Diego Airport.
  • You will experience some difficulties if you are to book Hertz car rentals at San Diego Airport on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. On these days, especially from 5:30 am to 7 am, the airport witnesses a large number of people arriving or leaving. The number of customers at Hertz’s counter is significantly large on these days and on public holidays like Independence Day and Labor Day. You are likely to spend longer than usual before finally getting the keys to your Hertz car.

I had a rough time getting my car. We booked Hertz from Santa Ana to San Diego. I had the same reservation in both car rental locations. But I had to pay an upgrade in San Diego. I was also charged 4x my quoted price which was annoying. I don’t recommend the San Diego Airport Hertz for your car rental. It seemed shady.Reviewed Jan 11 2024

Unfortunately the truck was not cleaned very well. Peanut shells were found throughout the cabin and it was clear someone had smoked cigarettes prior.Reviewed Sep 30 2023

1) there were no vehicles available upon arrival. I waited and other customers ran over and jumped line. The attendants weren’t staying around long enough to regulate. 2) the vehicle was smoked in, I tried to reach out to customer service over the phone and the rep did not take my info or care. It smelled horrible but I couldn’t wait for another vehicle since there were none and needed to leave. Horrible!Reviewed Nov 18 2022

Took a whole hour to pick up the car because they didn't have enough personnel. Drop off was a nightmare. Drop off was inside Hilton but there were no indications whatsoever. To add insult to injury I was charged a late delivery fee because I was 20 minutes late returning the car while I wasted over 30 minutes looking where to go and 1 hour to pick up the car. Ludicrous. LAX must be a low traffic location because no one works on Sunday. I had to drop off keys and paperwork in a box and hope for the best.Reviewed Jan 7 2022

The individual checking us in tried to sell us on a cheaper option to find out it wasn't cheaper and we had to go back to our initial reservation. It ended up taking us nearly 30 minutes to check-in for a reservation that we had settled online in advance.Reviewed Jan 7 2022
