KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Pacifica

  • There are several attractions in Pacifica worth exploring, which include the Pacifica Esplanade Beach or even Pacifica State Beach. The best transportation option if you want to access these sites is a Pacifica car rental because you can go where you want, when you want. Public transportation may not take you everywhere you want to go and, even if your desitnations are on the schedule, you are still attached to their time line. Taxis and ride-share services can get expensive and you may have to wait for pickups. Additionally, you can keep your belongings in the car while sightseeing.
  • Driving yourself around Pacifica and the surrounding area can start at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) by booking car rentals in Pacifica before you ever leave San Francisco. Car rentals at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) can be found in the Rental Car Center. It's located on the airport property, accessible via the AirTrain Blue Line on the Departures/Ticketing level of each terminal. While you may be able to walk up and get a car without a reservation, having a reservation is recommended, especially during the summer months.
  • When driving a car rental in Pacifica, there are a few things you need to remember. For instance, you need to remember that most drivers in the city do obey traffic laws, so they expect other drivers to do so as well. However, Pacifica is also pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly, so you don't only need to watch out for vehicle traffic. Remember to give cyclists the right of way and watch out for pedestrians in crosswalks.
  • Most roads in Pacifica experience heavy traffic, including Los Trancos Road.  The use of car rentals in Pacifica is slightly inconvenient during the morning rush hour that lasts between 7 am to 9 am, and 5 pm to 7 pm. If you must drive your Pacifica car rental during these times, you need to start your journey in advance to have some time allowance for the delays you will experience on the roads. Also, be aware that, as a beach town, there are many people driving car rentals in Pacifica during the summer season, so the streets may be busier than during the off season.
  • Economy hire cars in Pacifica are around 62% cheaper than other car types, on average

A smaller car rental in Pacifica will fit easier in crowded parking lots. Also, if you are eco-conscious, you can opt for an electric car rental in Pacifica, as there are more charging stations being installed in the region.

  • What’s the speed limit when driving a car rental in Pacifica?

    In Pacifica, the speed limit depends on the road and the zone in which one is driving. Generally, Pacifica follows the speed limits set by the state of California. In town, this will usually be somewhere between 20 mph and 35 mph. Just be aware that school zones are often even lower than this. Speed limits increase once you're driving your Pacifica car rental on the highways and interstates around Pacifica. The primary thing to remember is that the speed limit varies from area to area, so keep an eye for posted signs when driving your car rental in Pacifica.

  • What are the best places to park a car rental in Pacifica?

    Fairway Park is a reliable space to park your while in Pacifica as it remains open 24 hours a day. However, if your car will be staying at the parking for more than 4 hours, the rate will be daily charge. One can choose to either pay for the parking space hourly or daily. You can park your rental car at Piccolotti field, which is free of charge just near the Fairway Park.

My experience with Kayak was terrible. For the second time using Kayak, I was misled when I arrived at the car rental company’s counter. First, the car category in the company’s system was different from what I had purchased and had proof of. On top of that, the insurance wasn’t included. My Kayak reservation receipt didn’t mention anything about insurance. Unacceptable! In the end, I paid more than twice what I had originally agreed to. Truly disappointing!

Loved the process. I check in while I was waiting for my baggage. Then went right to the car and drive away. The car was EXACTLY the one I signed up for. That’s rare! Drove beautifully. Plenty of room for my 3 kids over 6’4” and myself and all our large luggage. Super easy drop off. Will 100% recommend to anyone who asks!

Other than the car not being in the slot assigned and having to go back to the ticket counter for another vehicle, the rest of the rental experience went very smoothly.
