KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Milpitas

The car rentals in the city will enable you to travel to South Lake Tahoe, 152 mi Northeast of the city, take a biting at Novo Restaurant & Lounge or take a beauty treatment at the Madonna Inn Resort & Spa, both located about 157 mi to the Southeast of Milpitas. The car also allows you to cover 150 miles to Donner Memorial State Park and Grover Rock – Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park or travel to Lower Twin Lake Campground, located 149 mi to the city's Northeast.
- If you are traveling to the city via the San Francisco Airport, you can access car rentals at the airport’s main car rental center on McDonnell Road. To get to the facility, board the AirTrain Blue Line to the car rental center. You can also get car rentals in Milpitas from the San Jose Airport car rental facility situated in the airport’s Terminal A lower level.

You must slow down or come to a complete stop. The drivers in California can be slightly more aggressive than other states, so you must be on the lookout and be attentive while driving.
- The rush hours between Monday and Friday start from around 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM as residents hurry to work, while the evening rush hours start from around 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Dec 2020
Pros:
Definitely none. Vehicle was not at the agreed location confirmation.Cons:
Besides vehicle being in the wrong location confirmed, the agent tried to give me a standard truck instead of a premium. I rent often with Hertz or Enterprise primarily and am usually satisfied. I chose not to take the rental this time. VERY DISAPPOINTED !!! Waste of my time...10.0 Wonderful

May 2021
Pros:
The pick up location (And drop off) were not at the airport, but at a remote location that required us to Uber to that location from the airport for an additional expense.Cons:
Hertz itself was fine, but Kayak should have highlighted that the rental location was not on the airport property.8.0 Very good
Apr 2021
Cons:
Final billing. In the final bill email, I was charged the weekly rate for the daily rate and had to rush back to the rental car desk to get adjusted after I had gotten to my airport gate. I could not get a person on the phone to help me and had to go back in person. It was stressful.2.8 Poor
Sep 2017
Pros:
I was given a $25 voucher for the address mishap.Cons:
The engine maintenance light was on the whole time, I was sent to the wrong address (the address on the receipt was to a location that closed over a year ago, so I paid double the cab fare getting to the right place), it then took over an hour to get out the door with my car despite only one person being ahead of me. When the car stalled and that engine light started to look suspicious, they refused to allow me to return to another location. They wanted to charge me a one-way rental fee. I appreciated the voucher, but I'll never use it. I'll never return to Hertz again.4.4 Mediocre
Aug 2017
Cons:
Switch and betted me on Hybrid car! I ended up with a car with 10480 miles and rear end damage on it, instead of a brand new one with 600 miles as promised!6.0 Okay
Mar 2017
Pros:
pick up was quick and orderly. The location looked new and the only agent there, who introduced himself as the Desk Manager, was friendly. The minivan we rented was spacious, enough for 8 passengers.Cons:
My husband checked around the exterior and driver-side and passenger side of interior only when he was at the location. Unfortunately, we were already 1hr away picking up guests/friends from out of town, when we realized that the very back row-seat wasn't cleaned properly and with lots of dog fur/hair (you can see fur on seats, inside cupholders and floor) :( Our daughter, who we asked to seat in that part, kept sneezing. We were too far and would be late for our reservations to turn back to request for an exchange/diff car. So make sure to double check your rental next time. upon return, we mentioned our issue to the Desk Manager and he apologized for it. Hopefully, they can check on their end too for other renters sake next time.10.0 Wonderful
Dec 2016
Pros:
Excellent customer service and the car ran smoothly. I would come back again as long as the rental price is to my likingNational
