One type of car that is well-suited for driving in Sausalito is a compact or intermediate SUV. Sausalito is known for its hilly terrain, and an SUV is better equipped to handle these steep inclines and declines than a smaller car. With a higher ride height and better traction control, an SUV is especially useful for driving up and down hilly roads such as Bridgeway or Caledonia Street.
The speed limit on residential streets in Sausalito is 25 mph, while on main roads and highways, the speed limit ranges from 35-45 mph. In addition, in school zones or areas with heavy pedestrian traffic, the speed limit is reduced to 15-20 mph.

Mar 2021
Pros:
The staff were extremely helpful. I ended up changing my reservation to an earlier time with no cost, then was unable to make it in that early due to unexpected circumstances. They ended up adjusting it so I could bring it back later on my return date, which they didn’t have to do. Staff is very friendly and laid back. Will definitely come back to this location.Cons:

Cons:
They didn't have a small-sized car that I originally requested, and first gave me a large Ford sedan that was very loud (the moment you turn it on, it makes a VROOM noise without accelerating), and when I requested a different car they said they only had a large SUV, so I ended up taking that which was very uncomfortable to drive.8.4 Very good
