Kayak rented me a car at this herts location, AFTER THEY WERE CLOSED. I got there to pick up my vehicle, and all of the lights were off, no one there. Had to cancel the reservation, BUT no one was available on any phone lines to call, and they wouldn't let me cancel online. Overall it was a very terrible experience.

1.9 Horrible23 Jun 2021
Pick up time was at 10am, didn’t leave till 11:40am!!! Insanity, never have ever waited this long just to pick up a car. The employee that was helping me kept asking unnecessary questions, just give me my car and that’s it. I don’t care about anything else or the insurance, I know what I’m doing. He kept asking questions and than another lady said, you’re car would done in 10 minutes. 30 minutes pass by and still no car. Don’t tell me 10 minutes if you can’t guarantee that time. So annoying. Never going to the Hertz at riversides. Slower than a fucking turtle

Car was promptly available. Staff friendly.There was no hanger for clothes which I thought was strange - had to lay them on the back seat eliminating any area for extras.

The Riverside, CA staff were rude and rented me an older, dirty SUV with body damage. I dropped the vehicle off in Hurst, TX where the staff were friendly, but I had to wait over an hour to just return the keys. There were no additional fees, which was the one thing that matched my expectations.

Didn’t like that l had to have a credit check and a $200 deposit put on my card since I prepaid for my rental. That information wasn’t shared with me when booking, I would have used a different method of payment.

Not Bad At allThey didn't have my car available when I got there so they gave me a free upgrade to from a Kia optima to a Ford Escape. They were very courteous and got me in and out of their in no time. Also once I waived coverage they didn't keep trying to sell me on it.It was on the far side of town but it was much nicer than the closer avis on Magnolia so it was worth the inconvenience

1.9 Horrible12 Oct 2021
When I arrived I was told that my vehicle was not ready, and I would be delayed about 2 hours. This was obviously not what I wanted to happen. I attempted to call Budget corporate. They told me I would go to a nearby airport ($80 for an Uber there) and they would have a car available, but it would be larger, and cost me an additional $300. This was not acceptable either. As I was being transferred around (about 45 min after I was supposed to have my vehicle) the person staffing the location let me know he was able to authorize a larger vehicle so I could get on my way. He was extremely helpful, but I will never rent from budget/Avis again.

NothingIf you don't have triple times the rental of the vehicle to put on a debit card then it's not worth it. True enough it's being done wo a credit card but nonetheless there are other rental places that you can go to! Im glad I took my business else where.

NothingThe Carr rental place decided to close early on Friday so I wasn't able to get my car rental. Had to end up calling Enterprise who sent me to another location that had NO CARS. I ended up having to drive to an airport location and ended up paying more.
2.0 Mediocre11 Aug 2020
The staff weren’t helpful at all. The location my reservation was booked was closed due to covid. There wasn’t anybody I could reach by phone. There was a sign on the door saying to go to another location. By the time I arrived, and waiting in line, they said they booked me as a no show. Again, no phone answers, poor customer service, when I asked for help with other locations that can get my rental, they told me to google it.Every single aspect of that experience could have been better.

The local office left a voicemail for me the day before and minutes before they were closing to tell me they would not have the type of car I rented. When I tried to call back I got a machine. I called the next closest location and they also said they would not know what they would have until noon.

Top tips for renting a car in Riverside
- Using services from Riverside car rentals, you can improve your tourist experience by driving to nearby Chino Hills State Park, situated around 26.7 miles from the city of Riverside, where you can appreciate migrating wildlife and lovely botanical sceneries. When traveling for business or preferring to stay within the town, getting a service from car rentals in Riverside allows you to easily access various tourist attractions, such as Mount Rubidoux.
- You can get to Riverside via the Ontario International Airport (ONT), which conveniently sits about 20 miles from the city. It has a Rental Car Center with multiple services offered, including Avis, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, Dollar Rent-A-Car, Thrifty, and Enterprise. You can move from the passenger terminal to these providers for car rentals in Riverside using the shuttles that operate every 5-20min. Its pick-up and drop-off points for Terminals 2 and 4 are found at the Terminal islands, while you can get the shuttle in front of the building when coming via the International Arrivals Facility.
- State Route 60, Interstate 215, and State Route 91 are three major freeways that merge with numerous roads and streets for convenient transportation within and outside the city. Pay attention to winter weather, because the city experiences snow, hail, and rain. It is advisable to carry a flashlight and a supply kit in case of emergencies since the cold and wet conditions create black ice, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Riverside has a morning rush hour from around 6am to 8:30am, with the peak congestion from about 7am to 7:30am. In the evening, traffic usually is from 5pm to 8pm. The freeways can be heavily congested, such as the State Route 91, which almost resembles a parking lot when moving between Corona and Riverside. If you have urgent business, such as catching a flight, leave some hours earlier and safely pass the extra time at or near the airport to avoid significant traffic delays.
- Book your car hire in Riverside at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hires in Riverside are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average
