- 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.

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.

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.

Jul 2017
Pros:
The employees were kind, resourceful and worked hard. The car started, stopped and turned as expected.Cons:
The location stinks-be sure to plan on the time it takes to get there from SFO. The building is hot and dour-I feel for the employees! The car was not clean. I would pay extra to get a car at the SFO rental center next time.8.4 Very good
Jul 2017
Pros:
It was cheap and the car was in very good condition.Cons:
The rental location is not anywhere near the airport. Shuttles suck, use an uber.6.4 Okay
Jul 2017
Pros:
Shuttle was waiting for us at the airportCons:
the pick-up was slow. No one accompanied me to the car to do the detailed check.4.4 Mediocre
Jun 2017
Cons:
It should be clearly noted on the vendor website that this is an OFF SITE airport pick up. We waited 30 minutes for a shuttle pick up that fits 6 person max in a poorly maintained van. Additional customers were left behind for another 30 minutes for later pickup. The EZ rental car in other airport locations outside of San Francisco were unlike this branch in its service, location and overall appeal. We were deeply disappointed with our rental service at the San Francisco EZ Rental car. We would rather pay a bit more for a more convenient airport location and more piedessional service the next time we're in San Francisco.2.0 Poor
May 2017
Pros:
The car was fineCons:
I paid during pick up and extra 200 dollars as deposit, until today I didn't receive that amount and they never replied to my email messages.5.6 Fair
Apr 2017
Pros:
A comfortable late model carCons:
The pickup drop off required almost 2 hours since the location is another 5-8 miles from where other rental car companies are located. And once at facility there are only 2 agents who take care of a long line. They push upgrades like the tolls for the bridge without explaining alternatives. You can pay cash everywhere and do online payment for Golden Gate Bridge. So avoid the prepayment if you are not crossing the bridge several times a day.Payless

Dec 2019
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.2.0 Poor
Sep 2019
Pros:
I was not able to get this car.Cons:
I am unable to give a proper review because the rental company closed at 12:00 midnight and my delayed flight got in at 1:30 AM, because it was a hot deal, I couldn't get any refund, I wish there were a policy to help mitigate these situations.7.2 Good

Aug 2019
Pros:
Drop off sucked. It would be much better if we were dropped off at terminals instead of the rental center. We the. Had to lug everything on the tram and then to the terminal. This will keep me from using Payless again unfortunately.Cons:
Drop off at terminals.7.6 Good
Jul 2019
Cons:
There were extra fees that were not reflected in the price quoted on Kayak. You need to take a shuttle to get to the site. It was easy but adds some time.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Jan 2020
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.7.2 Good
