KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hollister

  • Hollister car rentals offer several advantages, including the fact that rental cars are often in much better shape than your car or other transport options would be. Car rentals in Hollister have lower mileage, meaning they are less prone to mechanical issues, which adds to the overall comfort and peace of mind while you enjoy your trip. With a well-maintained rental car, you can confidently and conveniently explorepopular attractions in Hollister like Pinnacles National Park and San Juan Bautista State Historical Park.
  • When flying into San Francisco Airport (SFO) for your visit in Hollister, you can use car rentals in Hollister to navigate and enjoy the area. The rental car offices at SFO are in a centralized area known as the Rental Car Center (RCC). To get there, you can take the AirTrain Blue Line, a free automated people mover system that connects all airport terminals to the RCC. Follow the signs for the AirTrain or Rental Car Center at the airport, and you'll find convenient transportation to the car rental offices.
  • Driving car rentals in Hollister can be an enjoyable experience. The roads are well-maintained, allowing for smooth and comfortable driving. However, it would be best to be cautious of pedestrians, particularly in busy downtown areas and nearby schools. Speed limits are marked and should be adhered to at all times. The minimum driving age in this city is 16 years old, but younger drivers must have a provisional license and follow certain restrictions, such as not driving during late-night hours.

During these times, certain roads can experience heavy traffic congestion. Some major roads commonly affected include San Benito Street, Tres Pinos Road, and Airline Highway (Highway 25). Similarly, seasonal factors like increased tourism or adverse weather conditions can further impact traffic flow. During the winter months (December to February), occasional rainfall can lead to slick roads and reduced visibility, hence difficult driving.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful. I booked online at the last minute and when I arrived the employee changed my vehicle to something more appropriate for my needs

Cons:

I was absolutely floored at the added expense for a one-way rental, pick up and dropping off in different locations.

Nothing

Cons:

Kayak reserved my car at Salinas Airport from Saturday to the following Saturday. Come to find out right before I am to pick up the car that location is not open weekends. Nobody bothered to tell me that they where not open. I had to scramble and find another car. Luckily Avis in Santa Cruz was able to bail me out.
