Just go with Alamo.... you pay a little more but its fast, easy, and the folks were so kind and helpful!

MarkNov 2024

Alamo is fine. Check Tire Pressure Sytem readings before you leave garage. Had I done so - i could have swapped vehicles.

Verified travelerNov 2024

Prefer full size car. Bridges are very expensive and gas is too! Tons of fast drivers on 101.

Verified travelerJun 2024

pre-plan your driving routes to know if you will need a toll pass or not; we could've gotten away without using one, and could've saved money

Verified travelerApr 2024

Make sure you really need a vehicle because San Francisco is not the easiest to navigate.

Verified travelerMay 2024

Small the better given the expensive fuel price in California

Verified travelerOct 2023

We had a ball. Anyone concerned about "handling" a Mustang convertible, forget about it. It was a snap for both of us 70+'s!

Verified travelerSep 2023

Choose Fox! Go offsite! It’s a good value and not difficult to get to. Parking in San Francisco on the other hand…

NikhitaSep 2023

Do not get a rental car when staying in San Francisco, it’s not necessary. We picked up a rental car in SF to drive outside of the city. When driving in SF, be careful with all the hills. Do not park in the street because of the high risk of car break-ins.

RobertSep 2023

Call and confirm if the drop off location actually accepts drop offs (sounds crazy, I know) but ours did not.

We did not drive in San Francisco. We literally picked up the car on the way out of town.

Guidare a San Francisco è bello, parcheggiare è caro quasi come il noleggio. Ma questo è un problema di molte città americane che hanno fatto dei parcheggi una delle principali entrate. È una forma di estorsione poiché non potendo evitare di parcheggiare si è costretti in molti casi a pagare tariffe molto elevate.

You can pay tolls later. Electric cars are easy and cheaper to fuel.

If you’re going across the toll bridges, sign up for a bayareafastrak license plate account to pay your tolls. https://www.bayareafastrak.org/en/tolls/license-plate.shtml

Take BART if you can or Muni. Nice to have a car if your moving more than 5 people but parking can get expensive.

Leave nothing in your car. Stealing of personal items (bags, backpacks) is very common in SF.

Give extra travel time for getting over the bridges, in case of traffic.

Rent a car only if you are driving out of San Francisco. Within San Francisco, parking is difficult and extremely expensive. "Smash and grab" (where criminals smash the car windscreen and/or windows to get to contents inside the car) is a common occurence, even when there are no valuables in the car that is visible from the outside.

While driving around the city of San Francisco can prove tricky because of its steep hills and crowded streets, renting a car is a great option for travelers looking to explore other destinations outside the city. Driving is the best way to get to nearby places that are a must in every itinerary, such as the Bay Area, Muir Woods, and Sausalito. For an unforgettable wine tasting experience, drive to Napa Valley, which is only about 50 miles away from San Francisco.
All the big car hire agencies can be found at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Car Rental Center, which is accessible from all the airport terminals by taking the AirTrain Blue Line service. AirTrain stations are located in all the terminals at the airport. There is also a free shuttle service from the SFO hire Car Center to other off-site hire car agencies.
San Francisco is known for its steep hills, and the city center is filled with packed roads, one-way streets, and expensive parking, so you might want to avoid driving in that area. When parking on one of the city's hills, make sure to turn the wheels towards the curb when the car is facing downhill, and turn them away from the curb when the car is facing uphill -- and don't forget to use your parking brake.
San Francisco is one of the worst cities in the United States when it comes to traffic congestion. Rush hours can easily add one or more hours to your travel time, so take that into consideration and avoid driving into or out of the city between 7:30 and 9 a.m., and 3:30 and 7 p.m. Because of its geographical features, SF can get quite foggy and windy, so make sure you take extra precautions while driving if the weather conditions aren't great.

Agent was great at desk. When we got to car pick up we were offered an Audi SUV. Even though it was only a year old it was quite used. Also very uncomfortable seats to drive in. We drove a lot and not suitable for it. Also no charger for phones unless you had an older one. Radio not that wonderful either. Had rented and paid for a luxury vehicle that one had it in name only. Not pleased.

I was not given a damage slip or told to look at the damage ahead of time on my rental car. I was told (through an email) that a scratch was there that had not been there before my rental. I drove the car the entire time with the exception of valets at my hotel and did not cause damage. Because I did not get to inspect it and was not given a form to do so, I do not have evidence that something happened under my watch and just have to take their word. I also would have liked them to tell me when I turned the car in, as I did not have a chance to see what they are saying I did. It all feels pretty unfair. This could have been resolved if they had given me a damage form ahead of time.

Horrible . We booked online after our United flight was cancelled. We were greeted by an Avis rep saying " I'm going home and we have no cars" . So we went to the next rep after standing in another line- he said the only cars were electric... not what we booked and wouldn't work for the 300 mile drive we were going to take. It was after midnight. Finally , he forced us to upgrade by asking for more money and gave us a car. The lot was full of cars when we went outside to leave. He lied to us and gave us an inferior car for more money

The car had worn out tires, almost flat. Also, the car experienced carplay/android auto connection issues.

We were misled into taking an EV even though we had booked a gasoline car. And this is inspite of them knowing we would be traveling from SF to LA as car drop was at LA. We also pointed out our route including Yosemite. They told us we needn't worry as the car goes from 0-80% charging in 15 min on a fast charger. We struggled across the 7 days as charging was slow and the range on full charge was only 140 miles on the Subaru. Very unethical and misleading team at this branch.

Other than the car not being in the slot assigned and having to go back to the ticket counter for another vehicle, the rest of the rental experience went very smoothly.

A smooth experience. When I didn't like the car and asked for a replacement, they didn't express any disapproval — instead, they supported me and suggested an another car which was great. The only drawback was nearly 40min wait in the line.

In the SFO airport, at the Hertz service desk, the Filipino lady was speaking very rudely. When I told her that I would complaint online, then she started to change her tone. This kind of staffs will spoil the name of Hertz.

The service person at front desk was not friendly. Car was not detail cleaned. Returning address printed on ticket. Lots of surcharges which made the internet price misleading.

They had me check in online, and then said I couldn't check in online as I bought through a voucher. Then said i couldn't pick out a car online, then stood in the LONG LONG line at the airport counter, at which point they messaged me to pick out a car online and they WOULD let me skip the line and go directly to my car (saving me at least 1 1/2 hrs.
