Cheap car rentals at Monterey Regional airport
Top tips for renting a car at Monterey Regional airport
- Monterey Regional Airport (MRY) offers both commercial and general airline travel. From the airport, you can get to downtown Monterey and the surrounding Salinas communities by bus or taxi. The bus will get you to downtown Monterey in about 10 minutes. From the main station, however, you'll have to switch buses to go to other destinations. The taxi is another option but there is an airport surcharge both ways which makes this form of travel less cost-effective. If you rent a car at the airport, you can start sightseeing around the Monterey Bay area immediately.
- The rental car counters are conveniently located in the main terminal on the first floor of the Monterey Regional Airport. They are close together and right next to baggage claim. The rental car lot is adjacent to and within walking distance of the terminal making it easy to get to your rental car. The car rental desks at Monterey Regional Airport are open when most flights arrive. That is from about 8 am to 10:30 pm.
- Use KAYAK to find a great deal for car rentals at Monterey Regional Airport. You can use the search feature to find the perfect car for your budget. Rental car agencies with offices at this location include Avis, Alamo, Hertz, Enterprise, Budget, and National. You can also upgrade your car rental contract with add-ons like GPS, Toll Pass, roadside assistance, and refueling service.
- Do you have special needs? The Monterey Regional Airport offers an array of amenities for disabled travelers. For example, if you need wheelchair assistance getting from your gate to the car rental center, you should make this arrangement with your airline. Passengers with special needs can also benefit from the airport's handicap-accessible restrooms and elevators to take you from one level of the airport to another.
- Book your rental car at Monterey Regional airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
No, I tried to call their office various times the day before, and they put me on hold for a long time twice, then just hung up the 3rd try. After that it just went to corporate.Cons:
The young man I encountered upon arrival was very brusque. Whipped thru the paperwork, and when I asked to confirm the quoted price, he said a price of $40 more. I asked why and he said it was because I was picking it up early (less than an hour difference, the flight was a bit early). He re-did it all to reflect the price I was quoted. Never had anything like that happen before.2.0 Poor

Rental was for 08:00 am, but the car was not ready until 09:00. Was told they do not have the staff and he could not tell me when the car would be ready. Once the car was delivered, still had trash in the back from prior rental.8.0 Very good
Natalie, Oct 2020
Pros:
The staff was great, the service was excellent - easy pick up and drop-off (and the woman staffing the desk remembered me three days later!). I found the entire experience to be easy and understandable (where to go, what to do, etc.) from beginning to end.Cons:
The car wasn't all that great. It was safe, it was functional, and it was most definitely clean. However, I would have preferred something a little more comfortable and modern, even at my small-car/low-level need.9.2 Wonderful
