Cheap car hire in El Cajon
KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in El Cajon
- For your movement convenience , you should consider getting a car rental in El Cajon. With your rented car, you will manage to visit any of your destinations within El Cajon in your own time and schedule. Your rented car from the car rentals in El Cajon will save you from the spotty public means of transport that requires you to comply with their route and time schedules. With your car rental, you may consider visiting Olaf Wieghorst Museum and Western Heritage Center, along the town’s Rea Avenue to explore El Cajon’s premier cultural attractions or Heritage of the Americas Museum, where you will explore a display of Native American artifacts and the amazing animals’ fossilized remains.
- Most travelers to El Cajon, CA, will fly in through the San Diego International Airport (SAN / KSAN). Located about 4.4 miles from the city center, SAN is the closest airport serving El Cajon. To enjoy movement flexibility from SAN to the city center and its Downtowns, you can consider renting a car from any of the car rentals in El Cajon. At KSAN, you will access Avis, Alamo, SIXT, or Budget car rentals in the Consolidated Rental Car Center. The center is located at 3355 Admiral Boland Way, San Diego. From your terminal, you will board a free shuttle bus belonging to any of your preferred car rental to the car rental center.
- When driving your rented car in El Cajon, you should take note of the El Cajon Speed Traps and Stops. At the intersection of Fury Lane & Wieghorst, you are likely to experience a stop trap. On numerous occasions, a police CHP sits on the Wieghorst, about 250 feet from a three-way stop sign. The CHP will nail you down if you roll down the stop sign on the Fury’s downhill side. At the Fletcher Parkway, West of Cuyamaca Street, you may have an encounter with the motorcycle police officer with radar on the Buena Terrace if you intentionally or accidentally speed down the Fletcher Parkway.
- As a common practice across the world, most people would try to rush to work in the morning or rush home in the evening hours. This usually results in the morning and evening rush or commuter hours. In El Cajon, traffic is considered worse on freeway lanes between 6:30 am to 8:30 am and 4:30 pm to about 7 pm. This will, however, depend on the day or event that may change routine operations in the city, like the holidays or planned events that may attract masses to specific venues. For instance, during holidays and weekends, the traffic flow on the freeway lanes is relatively smooth. Other than rush hours, inclement weather in the winter season may renter some roads temporarily impassable, forcing traffic snarl-ups.
