This was my first time renting from SNA Auto Rental and I will certainly be using this family-owned business again. Their customer service is top notch. Everyone I encountered, be it over the phone or in person was kind and accommodating. I was promptly picked up at SNA by Jose who was wonderful. Just a short hop over to the agency. Jose checked me in as well. Before leaving the rental agency, he noticed that I was having trouble hooking up Apple Car Play with the Corolla I was given. I would be needing this app to navigate with. After a few failed attempts at helping me connect, he quickly switched me to a Kia and all was well.
Their vehicles might have a few minor scratches and dents, but these are well noted prior to signing and my car was in perfect condition otherwise and it drove very nicely. One saves money by not having to pay the airport fees other companies on site are obliged to do and this made a big difference for me.
Returning the car was just as smooth, fast and easy. The owner gave me a lift back to the airport and was super nice. My hold deposit was credited back to my credit card within two business days of my return.
There is one suggestion I would make to SNA Auto Rental, and that would be to have the option of adjusting or cancelling one's reservation online. As it is, one must call the agency to make those changes or cancellations. Still, they do answer promptly and provided excellent customer service.
Needless to say, I highly recommend SNA Auto Rental.

Listen, if you fly into John Wayne, skip renting a car there. It's hell. Do SNA Auto instead. They pick you up, drive you to your car, and send you on your way. Then when you return the car, they drive you back to the airport. They are kind and reasonably priced. Plus, renting on their website is really easy.

Rented a car from SNA Auto Rental and the experience was solid from start to finish. Quick pickup, straightforward paperwork, and no surprise fees. The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly what I booked. Great option if you want a hassle-free rental

read moreWhile there are several large car rental companies in Orange County California owned and operated by the biggest car rental chains, renting a car from your local auto rental company is still the way to go. It's always cheaper to rent from outside the airport because you won't be paying all the extra fees (tourism, and airport tax) that you pay at the chain car rental agencies! We are a family-owned and operated car rental company and our number one priority is your satisfaction. We will do our best to offer you the most affordable prices around and cleanest cars possible.
