KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Burlingame

  • You will enjoy greater convenience and flexibility if you choose to use Burlingame car rentals any time you are in the city for a vacation or business trip. With your rented car, you can choose your own departure times and the convenient routes to follow, unlike public buses, which operate on fixed departure schedules and routes. You can visit Washington Park with your rented car and have some good outdoor time. The car allows you to move around with your personal belongings more conveniently.
  • Car rentals in Burlingame give visitors landing at San Francisco International Airport an opportunity to enjoy self-drive to the city center and any other destinations of their choice. All the major Burlingame car rentals, including Thrifty, Dollar, and Enterprise, have their desks at the airport's car rental facility located at 780 N McDonnell Road.
  • When you are driving your car from any of the car rentals in Burlingame, you need to remember two important things. First, most of the drivers in the city are only concerned with the car in front of them and don't care much about the car behind them. Drivers can commonly change lanes and make turns without indicating. You have the responsibility of keeping a safe distance from the car in front of you. Second, most of the roads in downtown Burlingame have a high number of cyclists, especially in the mornings and evenings. It is good to maintain a lower speed and remain vigilant always to avoid hitting any of them.
  • The convenience of using car rentals in Burlingame tends to decline during the morning and evening rush hours. You will experience difficulties driving your car on most of the roads in the city between 7 am and 9 am and later between 5 pm and 7 pm. During this period, most of the roads experienced heavy traffic, with the most affected one being Malcolm Road. It will be good for you to avoid this road and use alternative routes to your destination.
  • Book your rental car in Burlingame at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Burlingame are around -237% cheaper than other car types, on average

When traveling with four or five other individuals, compact and intermediate SUVs are appropriate. These vehicles have doors that can fit a sizable number of people. Additionally, they have ample room in their suitcase for additional luggage. If you plan to travel to off-road locations, intermediate SUVs are a wise choice. An economical automobile, which can fit up to two individuals, may be a wonderful alternative for you if you are traveling alone or perhaps with your significant other.

  • What's the speed limit in Burlingame?

    Away from the city center, school zones and residential areas, the speed limit on Burlingame highways is 35 mph unless otherwise posted.

Every street in the heart of the city and every road close to a school have the same speed limit. Speed cameras are used in Burlingame to lessen the number of instances where motorists break the speed limit.

  • Where are the best places to park in Burlingame?

    For all drivers in the city, public parking garages provide the most dependable parking services at all times. Consider parking your vehicle in Public Pay Parking-Lot S, which is located at 1106 Rhinette Ave, or Highland Parking Garage, a parking lot located at 161 Highland Avenue. You can also consider hotel parking as an option for parking if you are staying in one of the hotels in the city. In Burlingame, parking lots are accessible freely to guests in almost every city hotel. However, people who are staying at the hotels are the only ones who have access to this parking option.

The only downside was waiting 30 minutes for the shuttle to take you off site to office. It added additional time on trip, but overall they were very efficient and friendly.

Staff was friendly, However: - I was charges and additional $135.00 in compulsory insurances which was more than the actual hire price. I could’ve rented much cheaper at the airport rental with any major company had I known this. - at after hour drop-off the offices were closed so i had to abandon the car and hide the keys nearby. I tried several phone numbers but nobody answered. Fortunately, the car was still there next morning and I was refunded the deposit $200 without any problems. Definitely would recommend going elswhere for a hire.

Cons:

Communication. My rental was scheduled for 3pm pickup and I called at 2pm to see if I could pickup early but the lady that answered the phone said no it won’t be ready until 3pm. I get there at 3pm and she’s tells me she don’t have a van available for me and that she might have 1 the next day. Other company’s try and figure that stuff out before the pickup. Also they call if they think they might have a problem not wait til the costumer gets there and then tell them they have to Van available. And then I had to ask if I can get the minivan at least cause it’s there. They when we said we called at 2pm to confirm and talked to her she said No that wasn't me not sure who it was you spoke to.

Pros:

Nothing - the van that was given to us was very old and had a mechanical issue ( Engine shakes and driving wheel shakes on turns) the car started showing this issue 2 hours into our drive to tahoe. I called the office and inquired if I can go to the nearest rental and swap vans for the safety of my family. The customer service was very unprofessional and couldn't find me any solution other than dropping the van at a different location without getting a new van and in top of all of that getting charged $100 for dropping the van at a different location.

Cons:

Please don't ever get a van from there. It's for your and your family's safety.

The staff was quick but I’m disappointed that I left my rings in the cup holder and when I called an hour later I was told nothing had been left in the car. The rings aren’t even worth a lot of money - they have heavy sentimental value to me.

Cons:

Hertz scheduled a rental car pick-up time for a time when the location was closed. When my wife checked to confirm the operating hours of the location, Hertz informed her that she would need to pay an additional $115 to change the pick-up location and refused to allow her to speak with a supervisor.
