KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Riverside

  • Using services from Riverside car rentals, you can improve your tourist experience by driving to nearby Chino Hills State Park, situated around 26.7 miles from the city of Riverside, where you can appreciate migrating wildlife and lovely botanical sceneries. When traveling for business or preferring to stay within the town, getting a service from car rentals in Riverside allows you to easily access various tourist attractions, such as Mount Rubidoux.
  • You can get to Riverside via the Ontario International Airport (ONT), which conveniently sits about 20 miles from the city. It has a Rental Car Center with multiple services offered, including Avis, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, Dollar Rent-A-Car, Thrifty, and Enterprise. You can move from the passenger terminal to these providers for car rentals in Riverside using the shuttles that operate every 5-20min. Its pick-up and drop-off points for Terminals 2 and 4 are found at the Terminal islands, while you can get the shuttle in front of the building when coming via the International Arrivals Facility.
  • State Route 60, Interstate 215, and State Route 91 are three major freeways that merge with numerous roads and streets for convenient transportation within and outside the city. Pay attention to winter weather, because the city experiences snow, hail, and rain. It is advisable to carry a flashlight and a supply kit in case of emergencies since the cold and wet conditions create black ice, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • Riverside has a morning rush hour from around 6am to 8:30am, with the peak congestion from about 7am to 7:30am. In the evening, traffic usually is from 5pm to 8pm. The freeways can be heavily congested, such as the State Route 91, which almost resembles a parking lot when moving between Corona and Riverside. If you have urgent business, such as catching a flight, leave some hours earlier and safely pass the extra time at or near the airport to avoid significant traffic delays.
  • Book your rental car in Riverside at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Riverside are around 52% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

They did not have any cars they could give me. They said it was all sold out without helping me find an alternative.

Cons:

Be more helpful in finding solutions for customer instead of just saying we don’t have the vehicle, too bad, we can’t help you...

Cons:

The Carr rental place decided to close early on Friday so I wasn't able to get my car rental. Had to end up calling Enterprise who sent me to another location that had NO CARS. I ended up having to drive to an airport location and ended up paying more.

Keegan, Aug 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff weren’t helpful at all. The location my reservation was booked was closed due to covid. There wasn’t anybody I could reach by phone. There was a sign on the door saying to go to another location. By the time I arrived, and waiting in line, they said they booked me as a no show. Again, no phone answers, poor customer service, when I asked for help with other locations that can get my rental, they told me to google it.

Cons:

Every single aspect of that experience could have been better.

The worst ever wanted a five hundred dollar deposit after I returned the car and wanted to renew it. There was always surprise charges.. I will never go to Hertz Rent-A-Car again, and I will always let people know to go elsewhere.
