  • 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).

Cons:

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.
