Top Tips for Renting an SUV in San Francisco
- Enjoy convenient movement with your colleagues, friends, or family members during your vacation in San Francisco by utilizing San Francisco SUV rentals. Although the city has public transport system comprising BART trains and Muni Bus, which is more affordable lacks the aspect of flexibility that van rentals offer. With your rental SUV, you set your own departure schedule and use the route you feel is more convenient, unlike the public transport system. You can visit the city's iconic shopping mall, the Westfield San Francisco Centre, and have an exciting shopping spree. The rental SUV provides adequate space where you can carry the shopped items conveniently.
- You can access San Francisco SUV rentals directly at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The availability of all the major companies with a well-stocked fleet filled with several different SUV choices, including Hertz, Nu, and SIXT, makes this one of the most preferred pick-up locations among drivers in San Francisco. With many people using this rental car location, it will be good if you reserve your SUV in advance to avoid missing your preferred brand or model.
- There are a few guidelines you should be sure to follow when operating SUV rentals in San Francisco. For instance, there aren't many one-way streets in the city, so always pay attention to traffic signals and drive in the proper direction. You should keep an eye out for any signs of making lift-hand turns. This is because some streets also only permit left-hand turns at specific times of the day.
- You will experience difficulties driving your rental SUV in San Francisco during the rush hour periods because of the heavy traffic jam on most of the roads, with the most affected ones being Marina Boulevard and Highway 880 South Highway. The morning rush hour period runs from 7 am to 9 am, while the evening rush hour runs from 3 pm to 7 pm. If you can use alternative routes to Marina Boulevard and Highway 880 South Highway, you will be able to save yourself time.

The location was closed when I got there. How was I able to make a reservation at 5pm when the place closes at 5pm? On top of that, I got there at 4:50 p.m and the location was closed. I attempted to go to the airport Avis location and swap my reservation there but the rate was 3x more expensive and the reservation non transferable. Ended up not getting a car and had to cancel all my plans for the weeeknd. On top of all of this, Avis is now charging me a no show fee.2.0 Poor

Aug 2017
Cons:
Was hard to see in the dark garage, but once you got into the sunlight you could see a few dents, and also how dirty the car was. Then, a few miles in the car started saying it was overdue for an oil change, that makes me wonder how well they check these cars over when it's already OVERdue! Not too thrilled about it.6.8 Okay
Jul 2017
Pros:
Everything but the child seatsCons:
Car seats were really bad value for $13/day per piece (we needed 2). They were the cheapest possible seats, it would have been cheaper to just buy them. There was no good solution for a 42lb kid - too young for a booster seat, too big for the car seat. We had to shoehorn her into the available seat. Pickup of the car was good, but the person in charge of car seats was rude and seemed annoyed by my request to see available seats.Europcar

Pros:

waited forever (1 hr to pick up) , the car was cleaned but some objects were left behind from previous renters, charges and rates were not super easy to decide on. I had to do a lot of the work I expected the staff to do (walk around the car and mark chips & digs). very slow!10.0 Wonderful
