KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Fullerton

  • Driving a car hire in Fullerton offers convenient transportation, particularly for those arriving by plane or train. It provides a seamless way to reach your destination, or explore the city, without relying on public transportation or expensive taxi services. With the freedom of a Fullerton car hire, you are able to explore Fullerton and its surrounding areas at your own pace. Located in Orange County, California, Fullerton offers numerous attractions and points of interest. With a car, you can easily access nearby attractions such as Knott's Berry Farm, Huntington Beach, or the beautiful coastal towns along the Pacific Coast Highway.
  • If you are arriving by air into the local domestic airport, John Wayne Airport (SNA), then you can start your car hire journey there. The John Wayne Airport is located in Santa Ana, approximately 26 km (16 miles) southeast of Fullerton. After landing, you will find the car hire desks located on the Ground Floor in Arrivals, by Terminal A and B. The car hire pick-up location is on Level 0 of Parking Structures A2 and B2. You can expect the drive to take approximately 30 minutes from the airport to Fullerton.
  • When driving your car hire in Fullerton, be aware that it is a densely populated city, and traffic congestion can occur, especially during peak commuting hours (between the hours of 08:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 19:00), or around popular destinations. Congestion may lead to delays, frustration, and an increased risk of accidents. Therefore, it is advisable to allow for some extra time for your journeys and be patient on the roads to avoid any accidents.
  • It is important to consider the weather conditions in advance when preparing to drive your car hire in Fullerton. Depending on the time of year, weather conditions in Fullerton can vary. You can expect adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain, fog, or extreme heat, all of which can impact road surfaces and visibility, potentially making driving more hazardous. Therefore, make sure to always adjust your driving style and speed to suit the weather conditions.

  • What type of car is recommended to hire in Fullerton?

    Depending on your needs and itinerary for your trip to Fullerton, you can select from a wide range of car types on the KAYAK website to fit your needs. If you are travelling with a larger number of people and a lot of luggage, then a larger car or SUV might be most appropriate, as well as more comfortable. However, if you're travelling alone or as a couple with minimal luggage, a compact or economy car may be suitable for your Fullerton car hire.

  • What are the speed limits when driving a car hire in Fullerton?

    When driving your car hire in Fullerton, you should limit your speed to 25 mph within residential neighbourhoods and areas with homes and local streets, unless otherwise instructed. When circulating on the highways and freeways outside of Fullerton centre, the speed limit can vary. It is typically higher than local streets, ranging from 55 to 70 mph, depending on the specific roadway and the road signs. Moreover, within business districts or areas with commercial activity, the speed limit is typically 25 or 30 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Fullerton?

    You will find that you will have the option of free street parking throughout the city. You should look for designated parking spaces along the streets, marked with white lines or parking signs. Be mindful of any parking restrictions or time limits indicated on signage. Many of the municipal car parks are free of charge throughout the city of Fullerton, while car parks such as the Diamond Car Park typically charges $5 an hour (£3.90). Alternatively, the Plummer Structure Car Park will cost you around $3 an hour (£2.35).

No personal staff—only one person in the office. No option to choose or change vehicles. Overall, very unprofessional service.

Pros:

staff was very friendly and helpful. when I needed to extend my car rental reservation they had no problem extending it for me on the phone.

Cons:

They just need to be more informative about certain details. example: if you return the car after the time you picked up the car than you will be charged an extra fee or another day.
