KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Redding
- Car rentals in Redding make it easy to avoid public transportation and explore the city’s attractions on your own time, whether you’re heading to the Sundial Bridge or the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. A rental car will allow you to conveniently visit some of the neighboring cities, including towns like Red Bluff and Chico. You can even head to sites that are removed from the city center, like the scenic Bully Choop Mountain, which is about a 1h 30min drive from Redding.
- If you are interested in booking Redding car rentals, you can pick up your vehicle directly from Redding Municipal Airport. Simply head to the rental car center, which can be found in the airport’s main building near the baggage claim in the arrivals terminal. As the center is on-site, you won’t have to worry about taking a shuttle or taxi to get there. You will find several different companies to choose from, including Avis, Budget, and Hertz.
- Some neighborhoods in Redding have many small, winding streets that can be confusing to navigate if you are not familiar with the area. To help prevent yourself from getting lost, consider adding a GPS system to car rentals in Redding. Downtown Redding has many pedestrians and cyclists, so always keep your eyes open for them when you are driving in this area.
- Many of the highways in the area, such as 44 and 299, become busy during rush hour due to residents commuting into and out of the city for work. If you don’t want to find yourself stuck in this congestion, try to avoid driving on these roads between the hours of around 8am to 9:30am and around 5pm to 6pm. It also frequently rains in the city, which can cause slippery roads. If you are driving during a storm, always try to decrease your speed and pay close attention to your surroundings.
- Book your car hire in Redding at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact hire cars in Redding are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
Very friendly-went above and beyond. My phone must have fallen out of my purse into the rental. I had no idea, returned the car, got in my sister’s car and we left. The woman working there found it so quickly, somehow knew which car I’d gotten into and she found us to get my phone to me. I didn’t get her name, but her action saved me so much stress and worry. I would not have expected she could find us out there and save the day! Brilliant!Cons:

When to book a car hire in Redding
Car hire insurance in Redding
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Redding 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 Redding.
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 Redding car hire.
