Ideally, the best car to drive in Folsom will depend on several factors, such as the time of year, your travel to the city and your budget. However, a small car is great since it is cheaper than most other cars and does not consume much fuel. Additionally, using a small car, you can easily manoeuvre narrow streets and park in tight spaces. Consider a big car, such as an SUV, if you prioritise comfort, space, and stability. They can also be great when travelling with family.
While using car hire in Folsom, it is important that you always drive within the speed limits stipulated for different roads. Violating the speed limit rule can get you into legal trouble, such as payment of hefty fines. Generally, you are expected at speeds not more than 65 mph on highways unless stated otherwise. In residential areas and special zones such as school zones and near playgrounds, the speed limit drops to 25 mph. These special speed limits are meant for the safety of pedestrians and children.
If you need to park your car while you stroll around the market, you don’t need to worry. Folsom has a number of car parks, from off-road to street parking, ensuring the security of your car. You can get free parking at Folsom City Lions Park, Historic Folsom Station, Folsom Square, and Fair Oaks Promenade. Other parking options, like Folsom Lake College, will charge you as low as $2 (£1.53) for 2 hours of parking.

Jan 2019
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:
Because of the hurry, the car was only vacuum, but the car wasn’t dirty outside10.0 Wonderful

2.0 Poor
Sept 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

Great deal, new car, excellent mileage.6.0 Okay
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.2 locations in Folsom

Some Folsom car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Folsom.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Folsom car hire.
