For this reason, the Toyota Camry is one of the most popular vehicles on the road today. It has an excellent safety record, which is crucial for driving in a city like South San Francisco. The Camry also has excellent handling and acceleration capabilities, which are important when navigating the city's many hills and sharp turns.

But if you're on a major road or highway, like El Camino Real, Highway 101 or Interstate 280, the speed limit increases to 55 mph. The variation from the standard speed limit mph is due to different factors such as: population density, land use and proximity to schools.

The city has used these measures because they have a proven track record of reducing collisions and injuries.

10.0 Wonderful
Anonymous, Dec 2019
Pros:
Friendly, helpful staff, and efficient pickup and dropoff to and from the SFO rental car center. The Quattro was lots of fun to drive, with comfortable seats and great controls for comprehensive panels.Cons:
I wasn't able to download the app (I'd changed my iTunes password and hadn't needed it on the phone for several months), and the website interface for a mobile device was sometimes not as intuitive as it could be.2 locations in South San Francisco

Pros:
n/aCons:
There were no cars available even though I booked in advance4.4 Mediocre
Anonymous, 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
Anonymous, 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
