Top Tips for Renting a Pickup Truck in Monterey

  • Driving Monterey pickup truck rentals can be an exciting and convenient mode of transport through this scenic and storied town on the Pacific coast. If you want to take advantage of the many opportunities for outdoor recreation in Monterey, a pickup truck is ideal for transporting camping gear, fishing tackle, diving equipment, and so much more. If you are in town to visit friends or family, you can rent a truck with a spacious cab to seat up to five adults, and you can all travel together, picking up whatever you need to. Monterey pickup truck rentals will help you get the most out of your visit to this breathtaking community.
  • When you fly into California to visit Monterey, you'll probably be landing in either the San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC), the Oakland International Airport (OAK), or the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). You might even be flying into the Monterey Regional Airport (MRY). At each of these airports, you can find car rental agencies that include Monterey pickup truck rentals within their fleets of rental vehicles. At each of these airports, you can reserve a Monterey pickup truck at Avis, Alamo, or Enterprise.
  • Though Monterey is a coastal town with a laid-back vibe, it is between some major cities, and it is also a tourist town, two characteristics that contribute to some congested traffic. Traffic becomes a bit backed up and tougher to navigate during peak rush hours of 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Especially beware of congested traffic on US Highway 1, which runs directly through the city. Also be aware that traffic often backs up at the surface street entrances and exits to this highway.
  • The city of Monterey is renowned for being both walkable and bike-friendly. Therefore, those driving Monterey pickup truck rentals need to be vigilant, aware that you are sharing the road with people on foot and people on bicycles. Beware of people peddling bikes in traffic lanes and also in bike lanes to the right of the road. Be especially careful when you are turning right.
  • 25% of our users found a pickup truck rental in Monterey for $73 or less
  • Book your pickup truck rental in Monterey at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • January is typically the cheapest month to rent a pickup truck in Monterey, with prices around $67 per day. The most expensive month is May, with average prices of $105 per day.

FAQs About Renting a Pickup Truck in Monterey

  • Is it okay to drive Monterey pickup truck rentals across the border into either Canada or Mexico?

    When you arrive to pick up your pickup truck at the Monterey car rental agency, be sure to mention that you want to travel into either or both Canada and Mexico. The car rental agency will have to give you permission and issue required paperwork in both cases. In order to cross into Canada, the car rental agency needs to give you a non-resident Canadian card, which is proof of insurance that you will need to show officials in order to cross the border. If you want to go to Mexico, you must buy a Mexican liability insurance policy in order for border officials to let you into Mexico.

  • What is the age requirement for renting a pickup truck in Monterey?

    In Monterey and throughout the state of California, you have to be at least 21 years old in order to rent a car. However, if you are younger than 25, car rental agencies will likely add a daily fee to your rental car contract because you are a young renter. These stipulations apply not only to you, but to anyone you list as an additional driver on your rental car contract.

  • Do I need to purchase insurance for the pickup truck I rent in Monterey?

    You can purchase the basic insurance package that the car rental agency offers, or you can opt to buy even more insurance for more coverage. You can also opt to use, instead of car rental agency insurance, insurance from your own personal car insurance policy or insurance through a credit card. Whichever policy you choose, read the fine print to make sure that you have enough coverage for you, the pickup truck, and any third parties. 

  • How does KAYAK find such low pickup truck rental prices?

    KAYAK compares pickup truck rental prices from all major car rental companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

Car was damaged at pickup. Tried to report to agent at counter but they disappeared to wash a car. Tried calling customer service number on receipt but they said they could only manage reservations. Tried emailing customer service with images of the damage and never heard back.

When I got into the vehicle, the windshield and every window of the car were covered with water on the inside. The windows were all closed, so it seems like someone may have cleaned off the entire inside and not dried any of it. I had to wipe everything down with some spare clothes, then blast the heat until the windshield finished drying off. It took ages and I ended up with some wet clothes. Was completely unacceptable.

Rental was for 08:00 am, but the car was not ready until 09:00. Was told they do not have the staff and he could not tell me when the car would be ready. Once the car was delivered, still had trash in the back from prior rental.

Pros:

The staff was great, the service was excellent - easy pick up and drop-off (and the woman staffing the desk remembered me three days later!). I found the entire experience to be easy and understandable (where to go, what to do, etc.) from beginning to end.

Cons:

The car wasn't all that great. It was safe, it was functional, and it was most definitely clean. However, I would have preferred something a little more comfortable and modern, even at my small-car/low-level need.

I made the reservation through Kayak, they called me 1 hour before the pick up time and told me they don’t have the car. The person I talked to was very rude, refused to let me talk to his manager, refused to tell me his full name, and at the end told me his is not going to do anything for me.
