South San Francisco Car Rentals

Cons: The car we selected in SF had an AC that did not last but 20 minutes before it was blowing hot air. As a result, we had to detour in San Jose to the airport to exchange the car for a new car. It was difficult to find the car entrance at an unfamiliar airport. Once we did the car switch out was simple, though no additional services or upgrades were provided. We then left the airport and were stuck in rush hour traffic. This added 90 minutes to our drive from SF to LA, I was very upset but have since calmed down, I wish the AC had been tested prior to my pickup.

Cons: Hertz customer service at the airport location was not great - there was no line and, without asking me a single question, directed me to use the kiosk where it turned out I needed to see an agent and wait in the line that formed after I had been sent to the kiosk.. I asked if I could return to the airport and they said no. My return was at 6:15 which meant the car HAD to be returned to the airport location. The agents at the McDonnell Road location (at the airport) were jerks.

Cons: i've been given the car with lot of delay. i lost my sd card with important files inside, and nobody wanted to help me to find it back.

Cons: We booked the car from San Francisco airport. However the pickup location was in a place of difficult access, few kilometers far from the airport. We tried to change the pickup location but this was impossible. Also customer service (via phone) was poor and not helpful.

Cons: I missed my flight + i was delayed so i got to the agency after they were closed, even though i called in to make sure they woukd hold the resevation. They said it woukd be held for 24 hrs but never told me the agency would close at 6. So it cost me 10 cab to the agency + 36 bucks to my hotel. WILL. EVER USE KAYAK AGAIN.

Cons: the email communication about this being an off-airport location was non-existent and very problematic. i searched for a car at SFO and was presented with a location with an "airport road" address. we took the air train to the last stop to hertz and were told we had to go all the way back to a terminal and then catch a cab to this (2nd) hertz location. the whole ordeal took more than an (extra) hour and my pregnant wife was not pleased therefore NEITHER WAS I.

Cons: Access was not easy to that renting place as not at airport in fact and at airport they were not aware of that place. They were not so quick but ok. Not letting any choice of and was consuming a lot, so big was not needed but hadn't choice.

Cons: In pickup, staff was rude, not helpful.

Cons: -Didn't have the car i expected and only two cars left in lot to select. -Auto check in very slow to connect to an agent.. -Cars exterior was washed however the glass on the inside of tbe car hadn't been washed for some time, very hard to see in sun and at night - no receipt at turn in, system was down.

Cons: There was no mention that advantage would be doing a credit check on me. So when I arrived at the airport and they surprisingly ran my credit at the counter, I was unable to get a car at all! My family lyrics member had to meet me and put it on their card. I have rented from advantage before in the past abs they said this was just standard procedure.. TOTALLY SUCKED! no use in reserving a car if u can't rent it!!!

Cons: The location remote from the airport tacks on another half hour to the two hours already required for an international flight.

Cons: The hassle of not being at the airport and then having to stand and wait for your car. One location was right inside the airport, the second time - we had to take a shuttle and waited for over an hour to get into a car... A car that wasn't even available and they had to give us two sizes up. When we finally left the lot, we noticed that the car had crumbs and fingerprints on the seats. To us, the convinence of a company within the airport will be worth the couple extra dollars a day.

Cons: I booked through Kayak and accidentally booked the wrong weekend. I called advantage and they said they couldn't do anything about it because it was prepaid through Kayak. I called Kayak and couldn't get anyone on the phone, and the website gives a "no cancellation or refund" policy, so I lost ~$90 because of a simple mistake. Will not be using Kayak again.

Cons: I called my insurer to make sure I was covered (which I was), they tried in every way to make me believe I was not covered. They lied repetitively and even dared asking for a proof (like if my insurer would write them a letter live!?). I had to fight like crazy not to let them screw me. Don't be fooled. Canadian insurers DO cover you in US. The car was dirty (I don't care dusty, this was hella dirty), with strawberry jam cups on the floor, fresh chocolate on the seats, used tissues in the console, garbage and belongings from previous renter in the trunk, windows I could barely see through... Even though I left with the car 1.5 hour after pickup time (which would have gave them plenty of time to clean). Only when I'm outside with the keys in hand, they asked me if I was willing to wait 30min for them to clean it. It was too late. They found the right racket not to clean. Congrats. While I was renting, the client next to me was complaining (actually looked sad) while they charged him because his family was 10min late in the building (taking toddlers and luggage out of the car), even though they walked in in time and asked if they could take the time to do so... He told be Advantage took all the money they could out of him and that I should not rent my car. It was too late. But he was right.

Cons: The car was dirty, scratched up and in general poor condition. The staff was unwilling to help or assist in anyway. i wouldn't recommend this place to anybody.

Cons: The location is quiet far from the terminal. To add to that, for drop off, they dropped us at the airports rental car center instead of the terminal. That incurred additional time to get the airtrain, we barely made it to our flight on time. The location is small and congested. Their shuttle blocked the only exit way out as we were pulling out. Driver was not accommodating.

Cons: One hour before my scheduled pick up time, Advantage sent me an email raising my rate by over $500, no exaggeration. When I called to ask for an explanation, Advantage was unapologetic and blamed Kayak. This company is a scam and a total disgrace.

Cons: Everything was great

Cons: What wasn't made clear is that to rent from EZ ( AKA Advantage) you need to take the BART (blue line) to the rental car center. Go down to their parking garage, wait for the shuttle (airport information desk says you should call them so they know to come get you, but your confirmation e-mail will not have a phone # capable of reaching the desk there). Everything was fine, but I wish that the procedure was made a bit clearer at the outset. It is possible something got lost in translation with KAYAK handling the transaction. Here is the number to call if you want to request a shuttle (otherwise there should be one every 20 minutes): (650) 343-3052

Cons: Worst pickup ever! Waiting line... 2 hours!!!! Half of it in the sun, no seats, nothing... And the other half inside a small hot building... Absolutely the worst!

Cons: in addition to the train ride at SFO, there was a shuttle bus ride. It took probably 30 minutes longer to get the car than with providers at the airport. Also, it was slow going at the counter and the Advantage office wasn't very clean.

Cons: They wouldn't give me the car unless I showed I had local car insurance. Excuse me? Because I live 3 towns over I have to show insurance? I don't have a car - hence I'm renting! Then they refused to give me a car unless I bought the insurance through them. There was nothing in the fine print that told me any of this. My rental for the weekend was literally double. But oh, thank you random guy behind the counter - since it was Thanksgiving and my wedding you cut me a "break" by allowing me to purchase the insurance instead of having my fiance drive to get me and show his insurance. Rude, mismanaged, probably illegal operation here. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Cons: Angry and rude rental agent at counter. Old, and dirty car that I was given. Only because I complained that the car they initially tried to give me was too small. If you advertise a car of a certain model or comparable then I expect to rent that model or similar. Not smaller. Bigger would be ok but not smaller. So instead of satisfying my request they put me in the oldest car I've rented. Will never rent there again. And I'm a guy who travels 40 wks a year. Never use this place again.

Cons: First car given to me had significant damage to the bumper and side, the car had obviously been in an accident and was not checked properly. No agent ever accompanied me to inspect the vehicle. After I complained the staff agreed to switch cars for me, however the 2nd car I was given had trash still left in the trunk from the previous customer. On top of this, when I returned the car I asked about paying bridge tolls since I had gone over the Golden Gate Bridge almost every day during my rental period. The staff then told me to call a number to submit payment within 48 hours or I would get penalized. Good thing I asked! None of the staff were very friendly or helpful, they all seemed to be sick of dealing with tourists. None of them were very helpful or informative. I will never be using this rental agency again.

Cons: Location FAR from airport. Space small, cramped, and slow service.

Cons: Car was not clean and unsafe

Cons: Didn't like how the desk person checking us in tried to up sell us too hard. Also gave us false information about gas prices in the area to sell us the $50 full tank gas package. You also don't have to pay the bridge tolls online only--cash is accepted both ways--like we were told.

Cons: See above

Cons: Location-no shuttle from airport.

Cons: Expensive to rent, plus I was charged $90 extra for gas charges even though I had filled the tank before drop off. It took two weeks to get the credit back on my account after providing backup for the the gas purchase and waiting for the manager to get back to me on the charges.

Cons: Everything was great!

Cons: A bit hard to find without Sat-Nav
