Car Hire in Sacramento, United States

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Sacramento, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Knowing where to park can save you time and money; check rates and availability.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Some areas may have restrictions; ensure you know where you can and cannot drive.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Many car hire deals in Sacramento require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you find the best routes and avoid traffic jams.
