KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Orange

  • Using car rentals is one of the most convenient methods of transport for connecting travelers to different points in Orange. Getting the best Orange car rentals enables travelers to tour the city with a lot of ease as they do not need to follow a traditional travel schedule, as is the case with public means of transportation, like bus and Metro-link train services. Using these public transportation means forces travelers to follow specific routes and schedules, making it hard to transverse to other areas of the city. With your rented car, you’ll have all the freedom to visit any area of interest. Some of the attraction sites you should consider visiting in Orange include Cook Park and Lake Canobolas.
  • Santa Ana (SNA) Airport is the nearest airport to Orange, located around 7.5 miles from the city center. Travelers arriving at SNA Airport can rent their favorite cars at any of the following car rentals in Orange; Avis Car & Truck Rental Orange, Thrifty Car Rental Orange Downtown, or Hertz Car Rental Orange Airport. All these car rentals have on-site offices in Santa Ana (SNA) Airport, which helps to reduce transportation costs that travelers would otherwise undergo looking for other car rentals outside SNA airport.

This was our second car that we had to pick up on our trip, they thoroughly went over the vehicle, took photos, and were very quick and efficient. Very friendly staff, took time to make conversation. Young guy who served us was very professional, and did an awesome job. We will definitely use this company again.!!! thanks for the 2022 Dodge Charger!!

The location we went to had terrible customer service. Their website said they close at 4pm. We booked for a car pick up around 12 pm and I got to the location around 12:15pm. Come to find out they stuck a printed piece of paper on their door saying they close at 12pm. We did not receive a curtesy call saying they are closing early. No email from them either. When I got to the location, there were still employees inside that can clearly see me and another couple there who had a 12 pm pick up as well. No associate came to talk to us. No associate even acknowledged us. Later on we see them run out the back door really fast and lock up. I went up to someone to ask what was going on and all one of them said was “we are closed already.” Customer service was just absolutely terrible. Had there been better communication or at least a heads up that they planned on closing early, no one would have been upset but the way they handled everything was terrible and upsetting.

Anaheim branch doesn't offer after hours return which is very inconvenient. Hertz is also not able to change drop-off location for prepaid contracts. Only after calling them numerous times they offered me to change the location for an additional fee of $320.

Pros:

I didn't like anything about renting from Hertz. They didn't have a car when they said they would. Their local agents did what they could, however their reservation service is a joke. I wasted an entire day of my vacation trying to get the car I had ordered and then had to take a smaller vehicle or not have a car. Hertz gave no compensation. What an absolute joke.

Cons:

Hertz should change their name to Hurts! What a joke of a company to rent from! I have no idea how they have the reputation they have as a quality rental company!

The counter service was great. The car itself was great.

Cons:

I booked this rental at <$100 total estimated and it was close to $400. I was put in a larger vehicle not because I requested it, but I was led to believe they were doing me a favor. I was issued an external GPS but the care was also equipped with GPS. I was told the drop-off fee to another location would be waived. I'm not sure it was. I really feel like I got upcharged under high pressure situations (raining coming into LAX) and tight time leaving SNA. If someone could review this rental, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks, Neil.

Pros:

The service was superb. Even though we were a couple minutes late, they were very accommodating. They even upgraded the car.

Cons:

The car, a Jeep Compass, we rented wasn't very comfortable, lacked power and wasn't very ergonomic. It did get us to where we wanted to go.

Pros:

The vehicle was ok, not the cleanest but, the drop off and complimentary shuttle at LAX was excellent.

Cons:

Make sure you have a paper copy of your insurance or you will get a very hard time. We had no issues when we rented at the LAX location and no issues dropping off there but, the very rude man the Anaheim Avis/Budget rental office almost didn’t let us rent as he was angry we went through kayak and had no wifi for me to show him my insurance document. He was argumentative and down right rude. I will let people know not to rent from this location again. He racked the bill up as high as he could to make a buck!

Pros:

The agent was able to fix my billing issue with some creative computer work.

Cons:

Agent had to fix the automatic addition of a fuel charge as I had driven very few miles; however, after I showed my receipt for gas that was purchased down the street, he fixed it. This charge is something that needs to not happen automatically, as other people may be more distracted and end up paying a lot more than they were expecting.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Orange 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 Orange.

Deductible

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 Orange car hire.
