Is CompareCarHire.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).

Everything was very straightforward, I

Everything was very straightforward, I was asked to buy additional insurance by Avis for breakdown etc, so it would have been useful to understand this wasn't included in the quoted price - if it was stated it wasn't obvious. It would be useful for you or the rental companies to provide more information on how pick up and drop offs work at the specific airports. Finding the drop off place a San Francisco was not great, as the address stated and google maps puts them in slightly different places - and the attendant joked that finding the garage wasn't easy.

Serving the Californian city of Bakersfield, Meadows Field Airport is an large facility and is one of two hubs in the San Joaquin Valley. Although listed as an international airport, it currently only handles scheduled domestic flights and has an annual passenger throughput of 213,000. The terminals sit three miles northwest of the city's downtown core, with car rental in Bakersfield Airport the best way to make this transfer.

Bakersfield Airport facilities

There are two passenger terminals at the Meadows Field Airport, one for domestic flights and the other for international, although the latter is currently closed. The William M Thomas Terminal (Domestic) features four check-in counters and two gates, and there is a restaurant and gift shop onsite. Car hire in Bakersfield Airport is on offer through a number of well-known companies.

Bakersfield Airport excursions

Golden State Highway (99) connects the airport to downtown Bakersfield, making arriving by car a breeze. The city is not a major tourist destination and is mainly used as a gateway to the Sequoia National Forest. While in Bakersfield, however, be sure to visit the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History.

Best time to visit

Bakersfield can be visited all year round, although many tourists try to steer clear of the rainy months that fall between November and April. Most Europeans choose to stay here during the summer months of July and August, although some travellers find the 32°C temperature a bit unbearable. This makes the cooler months of June, September and October the most desirable.

Car rental in the Bakersfield Airport

Bakersfield is a car-based city and, as a result, it has great roads that are easy to navigate. Arranging car hire is highly recommended, not only for getting around the city but for also visiting the forest nearby. Compare car hire selections online beforehand to snap up the lowest rates.
