With so many car rental companies to choose from, a car rental at Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport (STS) is a cheap and convenient way to get from the airport to downtown Sonoma. A car rental will give you the flexibility of getting to other parts of the city, especially if you’re interested in exploring major attractions, such as Sonoma State Historical Park, Charles Schulz Museum, the hot springs at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, and wine tasting at Enoteca Della Santina.
Car rentals are preferred to the public transportation options from the airport since public options usually experience delays. The many drop-off locations may delay your journey to downtown Sonoma. Typically, taking a shuttle or a train to downtown Sonoma will take you at least 2h, while driving yourself from the airport will take you 43min. Moreover, while there is a wide range of public transportation options at the airport’s transportation area located directly in front of the terminal building, the car rental hall is in the terminal building, and renting a car means you can head to your destination directly and take a shorter time.
Once you are ready to return your car rental at Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport, you can return it to your respective car rental location. If you’re returning a car at Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport due to an early flight, you may avoid any delays by dropping your car keys at designated key drop boxes available at your respective returning area, allowing you to catch your flight quickly and conveniently.
Santa Rosa Sonoma County Airport experiences busy times like any other major city airport. This congestion is experienced during the morning and evening hours when most people are headed to and returning from work. Therefore, the airport road is most congested between these two rush hour periods, and it would not be easy to return your Santa Rosa Sonoma County car rental during these times. If you wish to make your return process smooth, you should avoid dropping off your car rental during the rush hours and instead drop it off at the less busy times.

Quick, easy and as simple as it should be.

Cons:

I spoke with the representative at STS and confirmed that there wasn’t a fee to drop the car in San Fran at a different location. I picked the car up and noon and told him we were escaping the fires and dropping the car off today. We go to San Fran a couple of hours later. The office had closed at 1pm and the valet at the hotel told me there was a $25-$35 charge?

The rental vehicle had nearly bald front tires. (Gray Kia Soul with Utah plates: U198PN.) If I had noticed at the rental lot (Sonoma County Airport) I would have insisted on a different vehicle. It was irresponsible for the company to rent a vehicle with tires in that condition. The rear tires were fine so probably the tires had not been rotated front-to-rear on a correct schedule, and no one had bothered to check the tires despite the vehicle having 35k miles on it.

I had two reservations with Budget - one immediately following the other because of a change of plans. In order for me to "modify" and consolidate the reservations into one, Budget said I would have to pay approximately $300 more. The modification would have saved not only me time and convenience, it would have done the same for Budget employees. This is for using the car for the same number of days (5). I left my phone number and e-mail with the Budget agent and asked that a supervisor review this. I never heard anything.

Hello, I have been trying to reach someone in regards to my car rental. When I arrived at the airport there was no one at the Hertz car rental desk. When I asked another employee, I was told they already left for the day. I then had to scramble to rent another vehicle. I'm very disappointed, I was told all car renal companies are to stay open until the last flight lands which was clearly not the case. I would therefore like to request a refund.

We rented a “luxury” vehicle. It said BMW of like model. The car was a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander. It smelt of cigarette, the AC didn’t blow cold air and there wasn’t even a back up camera. I was really disappointed. We ended up trading it for a van that had over 140,000 miles on it. The upside was the employee at the counter was amazing. She was really kind, felt personable. She helped me get to the car with my two kids and the it car seats. She was really responsive when I called her. She made the experience better.

Letting me know when I’m booking the car I cannot go out of state would be helpful. It’s really inconvenient when you show up to the counter after planning a trip for months and you then get told the car cannot go out of state. Poor advertisement at its best.

Pros:

Car was clean and in good condition

Cons:

No sign about where to drop off keys and the number left at the desk went to voicemail from which we never heard back. Fortunately someone finally informed us the drop box was outside. The attendant from pickup may have told us but it would be helpful to have a sign at the desk.

Pros:

The guy I picked the car up from was friendly and helpful. I declined insurance and I appreciate that he did not push it.

Cons:

However, the car reeked of cigarettes after about 3 miles down the road, so I assume they cleaned the interior to eliminate the smell but not the air filter. That was kinda gross but not that big of a deal. The big deal was after I returned the car. I returned it an hour earlier than the deadline stated on the contract, but then got an email with an invoice stating I owed $20 for a late fee and I'm still trying to figure that one out. On top of that I was quoted $75 online, but then that jumped up to $99 inexplicably when I picked it up. I will update this to a better score if they fix the inaccurate bill but so far I am pretty disappointed.
