KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Folsom
- Using car hire in Folsom gives you total control over your travel. You can enjoy unparalleled and comfortable sightseeing in Folsom as you do not have to bother with bus schedules. Public transportation can be frustrating and expensive, especially when travelling with your family. Drive your hire car to nearby cities such as Sacramento, which is around 29 km (18 miles) away from Folsom, Stockton, roughly 80 km (50 miles) away, Modesto, around 116 km (72 miles) away, and Fremont, about 143 km (89 miles) away.
- Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is about 36 km (22 miles) from Folsom. Hiring cars from the airport provides convenient transit without dealing with the hassle of public transportation. You can find all the Folsom car hire companies’ counters at the designated shuttle stops. The shuttles take passengers to the hire car facility, from where you can choose your agency. Consider making a reservation at least one day before you arrive in order to get a below-average price. Available car hire agencies at the airport include Alamo, Dollar, Budget, Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and National.
- Using car hire in Folsom is relatively easy as the roads are in good condition, but can be hectic when residents are busy shopping or going to eateries. If it is your first time visiting Folsom, be mindful of motorists and cyclists and give them the right of way when necessary to avoid accidents. The city allows pedestrians to jaywalk safely. This can be tricky and you need to be careful on the road. Therefore, stop when approaching crossways and prioritise them to promote road safety.
- While the roads in Folsom are great, they can get congested when people leave for and from work. These hours depend on several factors, but rush hour in Folsom is generally from 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 on weekdays. If you do not want to get stuck in traffic for more than an hour, avoid travelling during these hours. You can use several alternative roads if you must travel during rush hour.
- Book your rental car in Folsom at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
By the time I arrived they offered an upgrade because of the high season they didn’t have the unit I asked for, and I didn’t take it because was going to increase my budget for the insurance, so they wanted to compensate searching for a unit in other location, but I was lucky that a client arrived with the unit I reservedCons:

Sep 2020
Cons:
The SUV I reserved was not there. Waited three and a half hours for resolution. Nothing. Couldn’t get one alternate vehicle because it needed an oil change. Couldn’t get a van because it needed registration renewal but it had permanent tags. Manager called corporate and person who could sign off didn’t return four phone messages in those three and a half hours. Left very upset with no vehicle.2.4 Poor
May 2019
Pros:

Jun 2017
Pros:
The car itself was fine, it was a good price and had no issues.Cons:
The staff were all pretty young and didn't seem to know what they were doing. They were overbooked and didn't have a car for me at the time of my scheduled pickup. I ended up with a smaller car than what I had reserved and was not discounted the price; but after an hour of waiting there with two small children I needed to get going so I didn't have much choice but to take it. Dropping off the car was no better. I waited 20 minutes just to drop it off. The office was again full of people waiting for cars because they were overbooked. New management is definitely needed here. I will not rent a car from this location again. By far the worst experience I have ever had with a rental place.Budget
