KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Daly City

  • Getting car rentals in Daly City can help you avoid the hassle and stress of using public transport. With cheap Daly City car rentals, you can visit anywhere in the city and any time without worry. Rental cars allow you to be flexible with your travels and can be very convenient especially if you have heavy luggage or need to go to an area that isn’t served by the bus service. if you enjoy the outdoors, you can visit places such as Thornton State Beach, San Bruno Mountain, and Mussel Rock Park and have the time of your life. You can also visit neighboring cities such as San Francisco and Oakland.
  • When coming to Daly City, there’s a good chance that you will land at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) as it is the closest airport to the city. You can get your rental from SFO instead of coming downtown to pick up your rental. There are a good number of rental agencies at the airport including prominent rental companies such as Budget, Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz among others. All these rental companies are located at the rental center which is a few minutes from the terminals. To get to the rental center, you can take the blue line AirTrain which has a station in every terminal.
  • Daly City is a walkable city and most people prefer cycling to their destinations or taking alternative means such as the light rail. This can be both an advantage and disadvantage to drivers since there are fewer cars on the road, but at the same time, pedestrians are significantly more. For that reason, you ought to be careful of pedestrians and cyclists when driving especially around downtown. Double check your mirrors before taking a turn and look at both sides repeatedly when crossing an intersection.
  • Driving in this city can sometimes be an uphill battle for visitors since the Bay Area in general has relatively unusual roads. One-way streets are a common occurrence and when that is coupled with the steep hills and varying traffic rules, it's nearly a recipe for disaster. The best thing to do is to get a GPS installed on your car rentals in Daly City so that you can navigate these streets better.

2.0 Poor

Connie, Jan 2020

KAYAK

Cons:

They did not have a car for me - or for at least two couples who had arrived ahead of me. They did not have a car for me the following day, either, and just shrugged their shoulders and said "there are no cars". At that late date, I wasn't able to find a rental car at another agency, either. Given that I had made the reservation several months ago and paid upfront, I found this completely unacceptable and will never rent from them again.

KAYAK

Pros:

The rental car was in good condition and the airport shuttle was fast.

Cons:

There is no way to drop off a car after hours and they do not explain or advertise this. No key dropbox or anything. The parking lot is locked and inaccessible between 10:30pm and 6am. Also, the phone numbers inside the rental agreement with Payless written clearly on the front direct you to the Budget renal company, who can't help you at all.
