KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Citrus Heights

  • There are plenty of reliable car rentals in Citrus Heights. Renting a car from one is wise if you want to tour the city extensively. With a rental car, you'll be able to move from one attraction to another directly. You'll also easily reach attractions in the neighboring towns of Florin, Vineyard, North Auburn, Olivehurst, and Alta Sierra.
  • The closest airport to Citrus Heights is Sacramento International Airport (SMF). You can rent a car with ease at this air transit hub, given that it hosts locations for several car rentals in Citrus Heights, including Alamo, Avis, Dollar, Budget, Hertz, Thrifty, National, Payless, Zipcar, and Enterprise. The counters for the agencies are in the rental car building, connected to the airport's terminals via free shuttles.
  • In Citrus Heights, you can count on enjoying a smooth driving experience. Most motorists in this city adhere to road regulations. However, keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead doesn't hurt. You don't have to worry about struggling for space with pedestrians or cyclists within the city limits, given that roads here feature well-paved pedestrian and cyclist paths. Although the same can be said for roads outside the city limits, it is better to look out for cyclists and pedestrians, as the streets here are narrow and full of corners.
  • Like every other major city in the USA with a relatively large population, Citrus Heights experiences heavy traffic in two waves. The first wave is usually from 6:00 am to 9:00 am, while the second wave usually begins at about 5:00 pm and lasts till 7:00 pm. During these periods, it's best to avoid the main streets in the city. If you must drive during these times before commencing your trip, check your navigation system to find the least congested routes.

When on the main roads within the city limits, like Antelope Road, Old Auburn Road, and Sunrise Boulevard, you should not exceed 40 mph. Since speed limits are heavily enforced in this city, to avoid unnecessary drama with local traffic police, ensure you adhere to the limits at all times.

  • What are the best places to park in Citrus Heights?

    Within Citrus Heights, there are various public streets with metered parking spaces you can take advantage of. Generally, metered spaces require payment starting at 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on all days but Sunday. In most areas, meter payments and time zone regulations are not in effect on Sunday. The operating hours for meters on streets with Residential Parking Permits differ from the operating hours for meters on normal public streets.

Car was so dirty inside and out. Smelled like weed. I had to run it through a car wash and clean the windows inside.

They didn't have the minivan I ordered on your website available, so they called me directly. Cancelled the rental. I later called in because it showed available on their actual website. Agent told me that it would be escalated with my original confirmation number because they will pull in a vehicle from anywhere else in order to fulfill my request and I'll be called back within 24 hours. It's now been 8 days and I've heard nothing from anyone.

Nichole, Dec 2021

We were given a car that had a bad wheelbearing and they refused to replace the car. They didn't honor the second driver added and gave her a bad time even though she had all the paperwork on her. It took several calls and days for us to get a new car. This made the trip longer, ran into weather and had to pay them more money to extend the rental. It is a huge safety issue and most of the people we spoke to at Hertz was very lackadaisical. Would any of them let a loved one drive a car like that? The sound it made couldn't even be drowned out with the radio. There were a couple employees that I got that went above what they could. Roadside couldn't even get a car replaced for us because management wouldn't approve it. It was just absurd. I will never use Hertz or one of their other companies again knowing that they do not care about their clients safety. Ordering through Kayak was easy and great.
