With San Francisco people carrier hire, you can pack up your friends and see sunny California at your leisure. A vibrant urban city, there is so much to see in this city and having a people carrier hire makes it easily accessible when public transportation routes end. Explore locally on famous roads like Lombard Street with its winding hairpins and movie-set views, or take in the Haight and Ashbury intersection for real counter-culture San Francisco. Traverse the coast and see giant Redwood trees, visiting Muir Woods and the Redwoods National and State Parks along the way.
If you are flying into California and are looking for San Francisco people carrier hire at the Oakland Airport, you will find a wide choice of car hire companies to choose from, all under one roof.

They will have you on the open road in no time.
When you drive your San Francisco people carrier hire, you will find a mixture between buzzing urban streets and natural wonders, depending on where you intend to put your foot to the floor. The city has a lot of history and driving across the Golden Gate Bridge is a must for any tourist. Cyclists are everywhere and they need to be looked out for at all times, San Fran residents also like to walk so pedestrians tend to get right of way. The Muni rail system is much like a tram, but they are also everywhere in the city so watch out for them. Stay under the blood alcohol limit of 0.08% and be buckled up and with some patience and a well-mapped out route of where you are going you should find driving your people carrier in San Francisco a blast.
The most challenging part of driving the grid-like layout of San Francisco will no doubt be the traffic. Considered one of the worst cities in the US for congestion, there are no-go zones when it comes to traffic and Marina Boulevard, Market Street and 880 South are just some of them. Get a GPS tracker and look for congestion alerts and save on time on the roads. The Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge are also pretty congested areas for traffic.

Agent was great at desk. When we got to car pick up we were offered an Audi SUV. Even though it was only a year old it was quite used. Also very uncomfortable seats to drive in. We drove a lot and not suitable for it. Also no charger for phones unless you had an older one. Radio not that wonderful either. Had rented and paid for a luxury vehicle that one had it in name only. Not pleased.

I was not given a damage slip or told to look at the damage ahead of time on my rental car. I was told (through an email) that a scratch was there that had not been there before my rental. I drove the car the entire time with the exception of valets at my hotel and did not cause damage. Because I did not get to inspect it and was not given a form to do so, I do not have evidence that something happened under my watch and just have to take their word. I also would have liked them to tell me when I turned the car in, as I did not have a chance to see what they are saying I did. It all feels pretty unfair. This could have been resolved if they had given me a damage form ahead of time.

Horrible . We booked online after our United flight was cancelled. We were greeted by an Avis rep saying " I'm going home and we have no cars" . So we went to the next rep after standing in another line- he said the only cars were electric... not what we booked and wouldn't work for the 300 mile drive we were going to take. It was after midnight. Finally , he forced us to upgrade by asking for more money and gave us a car. The lot was full of cars when we went outside to leave. He lied to us and gave us an inferior car for more money

We were misled into taking an EV even though we had booked a gasoline car. And this is inspite of them knowing we would be traveling from SF to LA as car drop was at LA. We also pointed out our route including Yosemite. They told us we needn't worry as the car goes from 0-80% charging in 15 min on a fast charger. We struggled across the 7 days as charging was slow and the range on full charge was only 140 miles on the Subaru. Very unethical and misleading team at this branch.

Standard SUV

They had me check in online, and then said I couldn't check in online as I bought through a voucher. Then said i couldn't pick out a car online, then stood in the LONG LONG line at the airport counter, at which point they messaged me to pick out a car online and they WOULD let me skip the line and go directly to my car (saving me at least 1 1/2 hrs.
