Top tips for renting a car in Visalia


Whether you want to visit Sequoia National Park, nearby national parks, or Downtown Visalia sites, it helps to be aware of Californian road rules. Here's how to make the most of your Californian adventure with some top tips on traffic and parking so you can navigate your adventure safely and stress-free.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Visalia?


Visalia has a very hot climate in peak seasons, so don't forget to use the A/C and save your exploring for cooler times of the day. This Californian location is a slow-paced town, so you can drive through the city in 15 minutes with little to no traffic.


The maximum speed limit on most Californian highways is 65mph. On city streets, the limit is usually 35mph, and 25mph around quieter roads or near schools. As always, adhere to traffic laws like wearing a seatbelt and operating your phone and GPS hands-free.


What is parking like in Visalia?


Good news - parking in Visalia is always free, whether it's at the Visalia Convention Center, parking garages, or downtown.


There are free lots on Church Street, Main Street, and Court Street, which makes it easy to explore attractions in Downtown Visalia and beyond. Whether you have an SUV or an electric vehicle, street parking is easy and convenient here, and you won't have to search for a park.


Are there toll roads in Visalia?


No, there are no toll roads in Visalia. You can cruise between all nearby national parks without worrying about any tolls.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Visalia?


If you're planning on exploring Downtown Visalia like ImagineU Children's Museum or eating at Bravo Farms, you can fuel up at 76 Gas Station on Mineral King Ave, or Chevron on Bridge St. If you're heading out of town you can pump your gas at Chevron or Valero on West Mineral King Ave.


If you are looking for EV chargers for your electric vehicle in Visalia, there's a ChargePoint near downtown on Mineral King Ave. There's also a ChargePoint on Tipton Street and another on West Main St.


Do I need to rent a car in Visalia?


Yes, you should definitely rent a car in Visalia. If you want to head out to Sequoia National Park or any of the nearby national parks located south of the city, renting a vehicle is a must-do. Unfortunately, Visalia is not a very walkable city, and lots of things like the shopping village on Bridge St are quite far from Downtown, so having a rental car makes it easier to enjoy your trip.

Frequently asked questions about Visalia car rentals

What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver’s license for at least two years. In France you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver’s license for at least 2 years, longer for certain makes and models of vehicles.

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver’s licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn’t accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner’s permit/instruction permits are not accepted.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo in the US, you must be 18 years old or older.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

Can I get car rental discounts on Turo?

See more about promotions & discounts

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. 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.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Visalia?
