The car also allows you to cover 150 miles to Donner Memorial State Park and Grover Rock – Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park or travel to Lower Twin Lake Campground, located 149 mi to the city's Northeast.
  • If you are traveling to the city via the San Francisco Airport, you can access car rentals at the airport’s main car rental center on McDonnell Road. To get to the facility, board the AirTrain Blue Line to the car rental center. You can also get car rentals in Milpitas from the San Jose Airport car rental facility situated in the airport’s Terminal A lower level.

You must slow down or come to a complete stop. The drivers in California can be slightly more aggressive than other states, so you must be on the lookout and be attentive while driving.
  • The rush hours between Monday and Friday start from around 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM as residents hurry to work, while the evening rush hours start from around 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. It would be best if you plan your trips around these times or visit locations that lead away from traffic.

Pros:

Definitely none. Vehicle was not at the agreed location confirmation.

Cons:

Besides vehicle being in the wrong location confirmed, the agent tried to give me a standard truck instead of a premium. I rent often with Hertz or Enterprise primarily and am usually satisfied. I chose not to take the rental this time. VERY DISAPPOINTED !!! Waste of my time...

4,0 Mediocre

Philip, May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The pick up location (And drop off) were not at the airport, but at a remote location that required us to Uber to that location from the airport for an additional expense.

Cons:

Hertz itself was fine, but Kayak should have highlighted that the rental location was not on the airport property.

8,0 Very Good

Anonymous, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Cons:

Final billing. In the final bill email, I was charged the weekly rate for the daily rate and had to rush back to the rental car desk to get adjusted after I had gotten to my airport gate. I could not get a person on the phone to help me and had to go back in person. It was stressful.
