KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fresno

  • Fresno Yosemite International Airport is centrally located between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is the most popular airport for tourists looking to visit Kings Canyon, Sequoia, or Yosemite Park. During your stay, you can rent a car from one of the agencies located at the airport. Choose from a variety of companies including Enterprise, Budget, and Hertz. Book in advance and walk just a short distance to pick up your car in the north terminal.
  • There are many driving routes and byways with breathtaking views of the lake and mountain ranges. You’ll want a hire car to help you can take advantage of all of its natural scenery. On your trip you’ll also want to drive to Paso Robles or the Sierra Foothills region for wine tastings and vineyard tours.
  • While driving in the mountains, be sure to keep your petrol tank full, as it might be miles in between petrol stations. Additionally, the roads in the mountains can be quite narrow, so be careful to stay in your lane. It’s also a good idea to secure an old-fashioned paper map, as your GPS system will not work as well in remote areas.
  • Commuting times can be delayed during rush hour in Fresno. This is especially true on interstate highways like Highway 168 and 99. This usually lasts from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. Check for traffic updates on abc30.com before leaving your hotel.
  • Book your rental car in Fresno at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Fresno are around 22% cheaper than airport locations on average
  • Standard rental cars in Fresno are around 10% cheaper than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Fresno 
Verified travelerOct 2024
Get an Elantra if you can or if you need something bigger get some other kind of Hyundai. They are a great brand of car! The cheapest gas is at a store called ‘Fuel Up’. I got my gas for $3.99 there when most other places were $4.89 and higher. The next cheapest place would be ARCO. I think the lowest I saw it was $4.54. If you want to travel to LA, be prepared to have breathing problems afterwards. I felt like I was suffocating until 2.5 days after I left there. Have fun!!

Hertz and Dollar rows are clearly marked and closest to terminal door. Also, make sure you request a map or instructions on best way to exit airport for National Parks.

I found the Malibu hard to get in and out of due to it being so low. It drove very nicely.
RaymondDec 2023
Since it happened to us. I would say an HOUR prior to your pick up time for the rental car, Call the location to see if your car is there and ready for you to pick up. And confirm already washed and vacuumed so you do not have to wait when you get there.

If renting an EV in Fresno, a small network is available for charging, and the chargers are not always available due to maintenance.

Book as far in advance and beware of their process as far as checking in early and returning early

FAQs about renting a car in Fresno

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Fresno?

    If you are planning on driving through one or more of the national parks, you might prefer to rent a Jeep or other vehicle with four-wheel drive to tackle the mountain roads.

Everything was great from start to finish on our one-way rental from the Central Valley to Palm Springs. Staff at our pickup and our dropoff locations were friendly and easy to interact with. The car itself (Toyota Corolla Cross) was great, especially when we encountered some light snow on the drive over the mountains.

The staff Tyrese and Cameron were wonderful, very courteous and took time to listen to my concerns and got us in a car that was suitable for our needs. Initially when we arrived and although we booked the reservation 4 months in advance, the car we reserved was not there. we had to wait for them to clean a car for us. Which was too small for 4 people, but Tyrese worked with us and got us into a suitable car. When we dropped off the car Cameron was very attentive and waited while we doubled checked to see that we did not leave anything in the car. Both Tyrese and Cameron were helpful and asked if there was anything else they could help us with or if we had any problems to let them know and they would assist. Which is why I gave the higher review, eventhough we were disappointed that we reserved a car 4 months in advanced and the car was not there or ready when we arrived at the pick up time. If you pre-reserve a car the location should guarantee they have the cars there when you arrive, vs making you wait for them to locate something for you. What is the purpose of pre-reserving :(

Pros:

Pickup in Fresno was good. Drove car to Monterey and on my way back my tire showed low and my service guy said stem was broken and not to drive and to take it to Enterprise in Monterey. I believe the ladies name was Tina. She was no help, said she had no cars and it was not her problem because I did not rent the car in Monterey. I could call the airport or take to their shop but would have to wait a day. She tried to dismiss me, but After much discussion SHE reluctantly, after making other calls, called the airport and claimed they only had a 15 passenger. After more discussion she finally called their shop and they said to come over and they would fix. They were very nice and I was out of there in 30 minutes. All of this could have been avoided if she had done that in the first place. She was matter of fact and dismissive with no customer service.I arrived in Fresno in time to return car. They were very nice.

The people working for Alamo were super nice. Checking in was a little long since there was only one person running the counter. But it was late at night so that’s to be expected. Actually getting the car and returning the car was fast and easy. Would definitely rent from them again!

Truck was in good condition and drove well. Moderately clean, although obvious drink spills only partially cleaned up. The hour wait for pick-up was obnoxious since I was 5th in line and there were two people working the counter. Clearly their system sucks and they don’t care. Definitely going with enterprise next time.

Pros:

The vehicle worked perfectly for my family. We paid for a mid-size SUV and got a slight upgrade. The upgrade was comfortable and easy to use. First time using Alamo and it was a pretty seamless experience. Drop-off was fast.

Cons:

There was a line and a wait when we first got to the rental car counter. It seemed like all the counters were understaffed and I waited a good 30 minutes before I got the keys and left.

Cons:

1. The employee who checked us on was rude, Curt, and had a "can't be bothered by your questions" attitude. 2. When we sat in the car, we realized someone has been smoking something very strong in there. When I went to the counter to let them know, I wasn't offered any solutions, just "Oh, I didn't smell anything in there." The smell was annotated on only my copy of the contract because the "couldn't be bothered" person hadn't put my paperwork away properly, and they couldn't locate it. I am sincerely hoping I don't get charged for that smell, especially because it gave my entire family horrible headaches after driving 45 minutes to our hotel. We had to: crack the windows on the highway, leave open chips of coffee to try to neutralize the smell, spray with air freshener, leave the windows down overnight, and leave the doors and trunk wide open for thirty minutes before our trip this morning. 3. When I picked up the car, I told the employee we'd have to extend a day. She said, "Okay" and didn't offer any kind of important warnings such as "We close at 5 p.m." and "We don't have an overnight drop-off." When we were en route to return the car and called to remind them we would be returning it this afternoon, she informed me of those crucial pieces of information and said, "Well, we always close at 5." That was it. No solutions, no pointing me in the right direction. For every question I had, she acted as though I should know the answer or find it on my own (I was *driving* and had *told* her that). It was very frustrating. I finally had to have my friend call from a different number and speak with the manager about how to find a solution. It was very, very frustrating, to stay the least. Overall, the car was in great shape, but the smell was so horrible we wrote our masks while traveling. The customer service was lacking severely - recommend the female employee receive training on how to provide complete information to customers and on how to treat customers with some sort of welcoming warmth.

The car was dirty when picked up. They had to give it a quick vacuum before they gave me the keys, but when I got in there were still crumbs all over the front of the vehicle, grass in the trunk and garbage in the door pockets. Plus there was only 1/4 tank of fuel. Dropoff at the airport was a bit confusing, and although still open, the Hertz booth was unoccupied to assist.

My reservation was prepaid, the agent asked for the same credit card for the deposit, I didn't have the card at the time, I had other credit cards, but he didn't accept any of my credit cards for the deposit, he ended up making a new rental agreement, he gave me the same vehicle, but ended up charging me $204.15 instead of the $96.15 was was already prepaid. I was not happy with that, I will never use Hertz anymore.

From pick up to drop off, the customer service was great. Very friendly and personable. The car was also great. It ran smooth, no problems, great on gas. However, the inside wasn't horrible but could have used a little cleaning. Other than that, my experience was a 9.5 out of 10.

Cons:

Car I reserved was not available. Was given a car in a lower category, and told I needed to contact Kayak to get a refund on the difference. Why couldn't they just refund me on the spot? And why wasn't a car I reserved available?

Pros:

The woman who helped me check out my car first was very sweet.

Cons:

The cars were all extremely dirty. I even had to change cars twice because they had a strange animal pee smell and hair everywhere. Idk why these were considered to be good to rent out? Then I take a car and half way to my very short destination the car says to change the oil!! It started shaking. I was worried so I rented another while at my vacation spot. Was sad but whatever I guess. Just won’t be using the avis/Payless/budget rentals again..

Overall experience was great. Difficult to contact a local customer service representative. There was a miscommunication on whether or not I had to wash the car prior to return, but we were given a $25 discount for inconvenience.

When we arrived, they had our reservation but no car! The person at the counter was of no help and said that he could neither give us another car nor cancel the reservation. I was told that perhaps they would have a car in 40-50 minutes. He finally called me 2 hours later. In the meantime, I called Kayak, cancelled the reservation, and walked two counters down where Enterprise rented a car for LESS than what the original reservation would have been at Thrift. Thrifty has lost a customer for life. How do you reserve a car and then not have a car? Unbelievable!

Pros:

The reservation process was easy. The SUV was clean, and pick up was fast and easy. The employees at the counter inside the airport were friendly and expedient. I did have to walk back inside the airport to the desk to return it, but other than that, the return process was smooth, quick, and friendly.

Cons:

The reservation and service was great, though the price was a bit steep. It was a last-minute reservation; however, so that is just how it is. I didn't like some of the features of the SUV. The high beams flickered on and off at will while we were navigating curvy mountain roads in the dark. I did NOT enjoy this. The suspension wasn't as smooth, nor the handling as tight as the Jeep Cherokee we rented the following weekend from a different company.

Pros:

The car was washed and clean.

Cons:

Pick up was not good. I was told that I couldn't use my company credit card that I used to book the reservation online because my first name on the card was different than my driver's license (it is my nickname on the credit card). This was the first time in 20 years it has ever been a problem and the rep asked me if it was the first time I rented from Thrifty because this is how the system works. I didn't really appreciate that as an answer. She then says when I come back she can switch the credit cards. I asked her why she didn't lead with that at the beginning of the conversation versus quoting me company policy. Another concern was insurance coverage (company versus personal based on the credit card on file). The drop off was a little better. The line was really long and nowhere does it say you have to stay in line to drop off. Luckily I asked because I was in a hurry (and didn't have to wait in line). The issue here was switching the credit cards which would require me to wait in line. The rep said to write my email down and they would send the final receipt later in the day. I did not receive the email as promised. I called two days later and finally received the second part of the bill (first part on my company credit card, second part on my personal credit card). The experience with Thrifty was OK at best. I'll likely choose a different rental car company in the future. Thank you.

Made advance reservation weeks ahead of time and pre paid. Arrived at the airport and I was informed that dollar and hertz did not hold any cars for me even though I had made the reservation confirmed it 24 hours ahead as requested. I am now having to waste my time to try to get reimbursement for the poor service and terrible business practices. I will never rent from dollar ever again.

When I pay money to reserve a vehicle and I get to dollar to check in and was told there is no more 7 passenger vehicle available and there's three people ahead of me also waiting on a 7 passenger vehicle. I think it's poor on Dollar and the third parties Dollar works with. I was not refunded my money for the service I could not use.
