KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Hollister

  • Hollister car rentals offer several advantages, including the fact that rental cars are often in much better shape than your car or other transport options would be. Car rentals in Hollister have lower mileage, meaning they are less prone to mechanical issues, which adds to the overall comfort and peace of mind while you enjoy your trip. With a well-maintained rental car, you can confidently and conveniently explorepopular attractions in Hollister like Pinnacles National Park and San Juan Bautista State Historical Park.
  • When flying into San Francisco Airport (SFO) for your visit in Hollister, you can use car rentals in Hollister to navigate and enjoy the area. The rental car offices at SFO are in a centralized area known as the Rental Car Center (RCC).

Everything was wonderful for pickup and dropoff

2.0 Poor

Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The Watsonville enterprise office cancelled our rental 2 hours before we were supposed to have picked it up. Their office gave no alternatives, despite the fact that we had the vehicle reserved for 3 weeks ahead of time.

Cons:

I had to do the work of tracking down a replacement vehicle at the last minute. Al, who works at the enterprise on Ocean St. in Watsonville, did an amazing job to help us. He stayed past closing time to get us a vehicle in time.

Cons:

Customer service at drop off in SFO made me feel very uncomfortable. They are looking to cheat customers out of money however they can.

5.6 Fair

Jun 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

I liked everything except the part where I was lied to.

Cons:

When I called enterprise I was told I could drop my car off in Sacramento at no extra cost. I was told all I need to do is inform the pickup location that I was doing that. When I called the pickup location the man told me he was going to take $50 out of my deposit for dropping the car off in Sacramento despite the fact I was told it wouldn't cost me to do that. I am still waiting to get my deposit back and suspect I'll be calling to complain about the deception.

4.8 Mediocre

May 2020

KAYAK

Cons:

Car wouldn’t start on Saturday evening. 20 minute hold for roadside assistance operator. Told there was a $55 dollar charge for roadside assistance. Help arrived quickly and they jump started car. Told me to run at least 1/2 hour to charge battery. The next morning the car wouldn’t start. I used my own battery charger To start. Enterprise told me they had no cars locally that I could swap cars. Had to drive 70 miles each way to San Jose to swap. When I returned the car the next day, they took off $55 dollar roadside assistance charge (no s$&t) but only gave me $7 off for my trouble. About 4 hours of my time and $20 in gas and they only refunded me $7 No happy.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful. I booked online at the last minute and when I arrived the employee changed my vehicle to something more appropriate for my needs

Cons:

I was absolutely floored at the added expense for a one-way rental, pick up and dropping off in different locations.

Kayak reserved my car at Salinas Airport from Saturday to the following Saturday. Come to find out right before I am to pick up the car that location is not open weekends. Nobody bothered to tell me that they where not open. I had to scramble and find another car. Luckily Avis in Santa Cruz was able to bail me out.

Cons:

Things were great. I did get nervous that my car wasn’t available but the staff there made it go over smoothly. If I had to be knit-picky, I had to wait 15 minutes for my car to get prepped and ready.

Cons:

I didn't like that in spite of telling them I didn't pre-pay and I didn't want to pre-pay my gas, they did it anyway. So I ended up paying 40 extra dollars. Won't rent from Hertz again.
