Top tips for hiring a car at Fresno Yosemite Airport

  • Are you looking for comfort and flexibility when exploring Fresno’s attractions? Consider getting a car rental at Fresno Airterminal Airport (FAT). The airport features various car rental agencies, with counters located conveniently within the terminal building. The car rental offers you quick access to your destination, saving you the delays of public transportation. Moreover, a Fresno International Airport car rental is relatively affordable considering the value you will derive. Getting a car rental also offers you the freedom to choose your preferred ride and schedule.
  • When returning a car rental at Fresno Airterminal Airport, keep an eye on the blue signage leading you to the car rental returns area. Consider filling up your gas tank as a fuel station some miles from the airport to save up a few coins since refueling at the car rental agency will cost you more. Also, plan your drop-off trip to avoid incurring additional charges for late returns. However, if you anticipate a late return, inform your rental provider in advance. You may also consider dropping off your rental car in a different location, but you will incur extra charges. Check for any further damage with the help of the car rental staff to avoid unexpected additional costs.
  • Various payment methods are accepted for rental cars at Fresno Airterminal Airport. However, for guaranteed security, most car rental agencies on-site prefer credit card reservations. Typically, the major credit cards can be used to make payments, including American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. Other payment options are allowed, such as debit cards, but you will undergo additional screening, and additional requirements will apply. Usually, most rental providers at the airport allow debit cards with Visa and MasterCard logos.
  • CA-180 is the main freeway linking Fresno Airterminal Airport to the city center, and it experiences the heaviest traffic during rush hours. The highway is busiest from 7 am to 8.30 am and from 4 pm reaching its peak at 5.30 pm. Therefore, when scheduling your airport rental car pick-up and drop-off trips, consider avoiding the rush hour times to avoid getting stuck in heavy traffic.
  • Book your car hire at Fresno Yosemite Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Fresno Yosemite Airport

  • What types of cars are available at Fresno Airterminal Airport?

    Car rental agencies at Fresno Airterminal Airport have all your rental car needs covered, from size to budget and preference. You can get a rental van for your family or group road trip in Fresno. Also, if you are into traveling in style, you can rent a luxury car at the airport. Renters with limited budgets can also enjoy traveling like locals via economy and mini car rentals.

  • What documents do I need to rent a car at Fresno Airterminal Airport?

    To get a car rental at Fresno International Airport, you need to present a valid driver’s license. An International Driver’s License is not required for foreign renters unless your driver’s license is written in a language other than English. It is important to note that an International Driver’s License is not honored at the airport car rentals unless you present it with a valid driver’s license from your home country. Also, you must be at least 21 years old to rent a car at the Fresno Airterminal Airport. Nevertheless, car rental providers charge an additional daily fee for drivers under 25.

  • Can I register an additional driver for my Fresno Airterminal Airport car rental?

    You can register up to three additional drivers for your rental car at the airport. Fortunately, you will not be charged any additional fee for additional drivers. Therefore, you don’t have to cancel your long road trips since you can share driving at no additional cost. All you have to do is let the rental company know about any extra drivers when picking up the rental car or booking online so that the agency includes them in the rental agreement. However, the additional drivers must meet all the same insurance and license requirements as the renter.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Fresno Yosemite Airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Fresno Yosemite Airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, National, Payless, and Thrifty.

The people working for Alamo were super nice. Checking in was a little long since there was only one person running the counter. But it was late at night so that’s to be expected. Actually getting the car and returning the car was fast and easy. Would definitely rent from them again!

Truck was in good condition and drove well. Moderately clean, although obvious drink spills only partially cleaned up. The hour wait for pick-up was obnoxious since I was 5th in line and there were two people working the counter. Clearly their system sucks and they don’t care. Definitely going with enterprise next time.

Pros:

The vehicle worked perfectly for my family. We paid for a mid-size SUV and got a slight upgrade. The upgrade was comfortable and easy to use. First time using Alamo and it was a pretty seamless experience. Drop-off was fast.

Cons:

There was a line and a wait when we first got to the rental car counter. It seemed like all the counters were understaffed and I waited a good 30 minutes before I got the keys and left.

Alamo did not honor the agreed amount. They also did not have tha vehicle that was promised. Told me they gave me an up grade and then charged me for it. Your price 225.00 counter price 445.00. Never again!

I reserved an electric vehicle, but one were available at pick up, so they upgraded me to a premium SUV. The car was comfortable, but the cost of gas was way higher than I intended to spend. It would have been nice if Budget was more prepared to fulfill the reservation.

Everything was great from start to finish on our one-way rental from the Central Valley to Palm Springs. Staff at our pickup and our dropoff locations were friendly and easy to interact with. The car itself (Toyota Corolla Cross) was great, especially when we encountered some light snow on the drive over the mountains.

Pros:

The wait in line at the Fresno airport was longer than it should be, but the person was caring, professional and efficient.

Cons:

The service rep was servicing three different companies at one counter. The other two companies had their systems down and was taking too much time to process them. Avis, Hertz, had no waiting, but our line was very long and slow.

The staff was friendly, professional. Check in was easy. Convenience drop box for after hours return. Didn’t like that they gave a parking spot number and you have to go find the rental car on your own after you sign all the paperwork. What is the car is dirty? Or unacceptable? What if you have questions about scratches or cosmetic damages that you notice at the time of pick up? There’s no one to talk to about it. There are no signs to get out of the parking lot either. You just drive around until you find an exit!

From pick up to drop off, the customer service was great. Very friendly and personable. The car was also great. It ran smooth, no problems, great on gas. However, the inside wasn't horrible but could have used a little cleaning. Other than that, my experience was a 9.5 out of 10.

The vehicle had shakes when the brakes were applied. I was to far away from where I rented the car to return it so I had to put up with it the whole trip. It was only a problem applying the brakes going down hill or applying the brakes for a quick stop. The car was not perfect but it served a purpose and safe trip.

When we arrived, they had our reservation but no car! The person at the counter was of no help and said that he could neither give us another car nor cancel the reservation. I was told that perhaps they would have a car in 40-50 minutes. He finally called me 2 hours later. In the meantime, I called Kayak, cancelled the reservation, and walked two counters down where Enterprise rented a car for LESS than what the original reservation would have been at Thrift. Thrifty has lost a customer for life. How do you reserve a car and then not have a car? Unbelievable!

The reservation process was easy. The SUV was clean, and pick up was fast and easy. The employees at the counter inside the airport were friendly and expedient. I did have to walk back inside the airport to the desk to return it, but other than that, the return process was smooth, quick, and friendly.

Cons:

The reservation and service was great, though the price was a bit steep. It was a last-minute reservation; however, so that is just how it is. I didn't like some of the features of the SUV. The high beams flickered on and off at will while we were navigating curvy mountain roads in the dark. I did NOT enjoy this. The suspension wasn't as smooth, nor the handling as tight as the Jeep Cherokee we rented the following weekend from a different company.
