$21 Cheap Car Rentals in Gilroy, CA

Even though it lies within California's famous Silicon Valley, Gilroy is well-known not for microchips and processors, but for something slightly more pungent. Their main export is Allium sativum, better known as garlic, and they export their famous "stinking rose" the world over. This quaint city lies in a picturesque valley, with mountains to the east and west, and is surrounded by the legendarily rugged northern California terrain, which means a Gilroy car rental is necessary for exploring off the beaten path.
