Whether you're discovering a piece of history in the Meux Home Museum, wandering Woodward Regional Park, or experiencing the beauty of the Blossom Trail, Fresno has something for every traveler to enjoy.
Rent the perfect car
Looking for something totally unexpected in Fresno? The Forestiere Underground Gardens are a must-see. Built by hand over 40 years by a Sicilian immigrant named Baldassare Forestiere, this underground labyrinth of citrus trees, stone passageways, and sunken courtyards is unlike anything else you’ll find in California. It's cool (literally and figuratively), weirdly romantic, and full of fascinating history and ingenuity. Driving there? Even better. Having a rental car gives you the flexibility to explore the Gardens at your own pace, then cruise to other nearby stops without stressing about transit schedules or rideshares.
If you’re planning a family-friendly day out in Fresno, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo is a go-to spot. Set in the heart of Roeding Park, this beautifully designed zoo punches above its weight - featuring giraffe feedings, a walk-through rainforest, and the immersive African Adventure exhibit that feels like it belongs in a much bigger city. It’s the kind of place that’s just as fun for adults as it is for kids. A rental vehicle makes it easy to get there (and makes the zoo parking lot your personal drop-off zone).
Tucked inside Fresno’s Woodward Park, the Shinzen Japanese Garden is one of those serene spots that feels like a complete shift in pace. Perfectly manicured landscapes, koi-filled ponds, and seasonal cherry blossoms make this a quiet retreat for locals and road-trippers alike. It’s especially dreamy during spring or autumn, when the foliage transforms the space into a living postcard. With your own car, getting to the garden is seamless - no need to sync up with public transit or rideshare availability. Parking is easy inside Woodward Park, so you can roll in, reset, and roam at your own pace.

If you’re booking through Turo, Fresno Yosemite International Airport offers a smooth and flexible pickup experience, with a few important things to know. Turo guests can pick up or return their vehicle in the Short Term Garage or Long Term Lots 1 through 4. Once your host confirms the car’s location, simply head to the designated lot after landing. It’s a quick walk from the terminal, and with no airport counter lines to deal with, you’ll be on your way faster than most people.
If you’re picking up your Turo rental in Downtown Fresno, arranging a smooth handoff with your host is easy. Once your booking is confirmed, your host will share the exact pickup location - this might be a curbside handoff, a parking lot, or a designated meetup spot near your hotel, a local café, or the Amtrak station. Downtown Fresno is compact and easy to navigate, so you won’t need to deal with heavy traffic or confusing streets when grabbing your keys. Just confirm the details with your host ahead of time and enjoy the freedom of skipping the airport crowds. Whether you're heading to Tower District or out toward Yosemite, downtown makes a convenient launch point for any Fresno adventure.
If you're meeting your host or picking up your car near the Old Fresno Water Tower, you’re in one of the city’s most iconic spots. This historic landmark is easy to find, with clear street parking nearby - making it a convenient and visually memorable handoff point. The surrounding area is relaxed and walkable, so if you arrive early, you can explore local art, grab a coffee, or snap a quick photo before hitting the road. Just check your host’s exact pickup instructions and location in the app before you head over.

Next time you fly, don’t wait in line and fill out forms — pick your car up at hundreds of popular airports.

Renting a car in Fresno is one of the easiest ways to explore the Central Valley at your own pace. Whether you're cruising to Yosemite, zipping between farmers markets, or heading out for a weekend road trip, having your own set of wheels makes everything smoother. From airport pickups to local fueling tips, here’s everything you need to know before you hit the road.
Fresno is centrally located and surprisingly easy to navigate, but driving here does come with a few quirks. Whether you're cruising out to the foothills or just zipping between downtown coffee spots, it's worth knowing what to expect - especially on Highway 99. That stretch of road sees a lot of truck traffic, and some intersections (like Blackstone and Herndon) have a bit of a reputation, so it pays to stay alert.
Highway 99 is a major thoroughfare, and while it gives you great access north and south, it’s known for congestion, especially during peak hours or late-night drives. Fresno’s hot summer weather also plays a role - expect to be blasting your A/C, especially in the afternoon heat. If you're in an EV, plan your charging accordingly so you're not left scrambling in 40-degree heat.
Parking in Fresno is generally easy to figure out if you know the rules of each area. Downtown Fresno uses metered parking and has a few public garages nearby, but many meters are free after hours and on weekends. Just double-check signs during special events, when normal rules might not apply.
Around Fresno State, parking permits are typically needed during the academic year, though weekends and holidays are usually more flexible unless there's a game or event happening. Street parking outside of the city center is more relaxed, but signage still matters. Overall, with a little planning, parking in Fresno is pretty low-stress - whether you're downtown, on campus, or exploring neighborhood gems.
There are no toll roads in Fresno. You can drive around the city and surrounding areas without needing to stop at toll booths or pay for road access, which makes exploring Fresno and the Central Valley especially straightforward.
You’ll find plenty of gas stations and EV chargers throughout Fresno to keep your trip moving smoothly. Whether you’re driving a hybrid or a fully electric vehicle, fueling up is easy with convenient locations across the city.
For gas, you’ve got options like the Sinclair Gas Station on East Bullard Avenue, Costco Gas Station on North Abby Street, and ARCO on East Tulare Avenue - great for quick stops and competitive fuel.
If you’re driving electric, EVgo Charging Stations are scattered across key areas like West Shaw Avenue, South Clovis Avenue, and East Kings Canyon Road, making it easy to charge while you shop, grab food, or explore the city.
If you’re visiting Fresno, renting a car is highly recommended, especially if you’re planning to explore beyond the city limits. Public transportation is limited, and Fresno’s layout makes driving the easiest way to access local gems, day-trip destinations, and scenic parks. With a rental car, you can experience the full range of what the Central Valley has to offer, from urban adventures to mountain getaways.
A car gives you direct access to iconic places like Yosemite National Park, just a couple of hours away, and best explored on your own schedule. Whether you're heading to Bakersfield, Sequoia National Park, or just zipping around town for groceries and coffee, having your own set of wheels makes your trip smoother and way more flexible.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
