Top Tips for Renting a Van in Santa Rosa
- Compared to other transport options, Santa Rosa van rentals offer numerous advantages. You can flexibly explore nearby attractions like the stunning Sonoma County wineries and the scenic Pacific coastline. With a van, you can comfortably accommodate a group, making it cost-effective for families or friends traveling together. It's especially convenient for transporting outdoor gear to explore parks like Armstrong Redwoods or Lake Sonoma. Moreover, having a van in Santa Rosa allows you to tailor your itinerary and access hidden gems, enhancing the overall travel experience.
- Santa Rosa is served by three major nearby airports: San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Sacramento International Airport (SMF), and Oakland International Airport (OAK). At SFO, most car rental agencies, including those offering vans, are located at the Rental Car Center on Level 4, accessible via the AirTrain from the terminals. At OAK, car rental companies, including van options, are at the Rental Car Center, conveniently near the airport's parking areas and accessible via a shuttle from the terminals. Similarly, at SMF, car rentals, including vans, at the Car Rental Terminal, a short shuttle ride away from the main terminals.
- When driving a van in Santa Rosa, it's essential to be cautious of pedestrians, including jaywalkers and bicyclists, who often jump into roads without checking oncoming vehicles. You also need to remember the child seat laws if you plan to drive your rented van with your kid(s). California mandates that children under two years old must be secured in rear-facing car seats, and those under eight or under 4'9" tall must ride in an appropriate booster seat. As for Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), the legal limit is 0.08%, but it's advisable to abstain from any alcohol consumption while operating a vehicle to ensure safety and compliance with the law.
- The convenience of using Santa Rosa van rentals declines during the morning rush hour, typically between 7:00 am and 9:00 am, and the evening rush hour, which falls between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm. Highways 101 and 12 can be heavily congested during these times, especially around interchanges and downtown areas. Wintertime can pose challenges due to occasional rain and fog, affecting visibility and road conditions. Overall, navigating a van in Santa Rosa during rush hours and wet seasons demands extra caution and patience to ensure safe and smooth travels.

I spoke with the representative at STS and confirmed that there wasn’t a fee to drop the car in San Fran at a different location. I picked the car up and noon and told him we were escaping the fires and dropping the car off today. We go to San Fran a couple of hours later. The office had closed at 1pm and the valet at the hotel told me there was a $25-$35 charge?8.0 Very good

Pros:
I liked that it was easy to find, night drop was available.Cons:
Being late night drop off, would’ve made more sense to me a little better instructions about what papers are being dropped off. Also, a sensor had gone off about a brake light bulb that went out en route to my destination. No one was available to inform about this, so a space on the paper that gets turned in would be a good idea. I improvised and wrote it on the sideAce

Oct 2020
Pros:
The guy I picked the car up from was friendly and helpful. I declined insurance and I appreciate that he did not push it.Cons:
However, the car reeked of cigarettes after about 3 miles down the road, so I assume they cleaned the interior to eliminate the smell but not the air filter. That was kinda gross but not that big of a deal. The big deal was after I returned the car. I returned it an hour earlier than the deadline stated on the contract, but then got an email with an invoice stating I owed $20 for a late fee and I'm still trying to figure that one out. On top of that I was quoted $75 online, but then that jumped up to $99 inexplicably when I picked it up. I will update this to a better score if they fix the inaccurate bill but so far I am pretty disappointed.10.0 Wonderful

May 2018
Pros:
The car was fuel efficient and compact which helped a TON in the greater Bay Area for travels.Cons:
The older model rented to me (based on the pricepoint but not entirely clear from the internet description) is an automatic that drives like a manual shift. Very specific feature of the Smart Car and was a little annoying when trying to pull a hill-side along the 101. Also, with high winds on the Richmond Bridge, the car felt VERY UNSAFE. The wind gusts were about 40-50mph and the car was swaying and wobbling in the lane. Yes, I knew to drive at a reduced speed but the bridge is 9miles long and it was a scary wind shaking 9mile drive. Something I didn't factor in.10.0 Wonderful
Mar 2018
Pros:
The pickup and drop-off went very smoothly. The company was easy to work with and the car was very clean. This was my first time driving a smart car. It is more roomy and comfortable than I would have guessed. It doesn't have a lot of power, but it makes up for that in gas mileage. There were no issues with the car itself - it was in great shape. No complaints at all. I would definitely rent with Sixt again.10.0 Wonderful
