Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in San Jose

  • SUVs typically provide a comfortable and smooth ride, making long trips and daily commuting more enjoyable for passengers. The elevated seating position in an SUV provides better visibility of the road ahead, enhancing safety and comfort. San Jose SUV rentals offer ample cargo space, making them suitable for transporting luggage, sports equipment, or other bulky items. If you're traveling with children, SUVs generally have sufficient space to accommodate child safety seats and boosters.
  • The Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) offers a convenient location for San Jose SUV rentals. When you're prepared to access the services of one of the approximately 11 rental companies at this airport, the Rental Car Center is conveniently positioned directly across from the B Terminal. Travelers arriving at this terminal can easily reach the Rental Car Center by crossing Airport Blvd. using the designated crosswalks near the baggage claim area. If your arrival or departure involves the A Terminal, you have the choice of using the Airport Blue shuttle bus service to get to the center.
  • San Jose has carpool lanes (HOV lanes) on some highways. If you meet the requirements (usually two or more passengers), consider using these lanes to save time during peak traffic hours. San Jose has a growing number of bicyclists. Be cautious when sharing the road with cyclists, and respect designated bike lanes. Coastal areas near San Jose, including parts of Highway 101, can experience dense fog, especially during the cooler months. Drive San Jose SUV rentals with caution in foggy conditions and use low-beam headlights.
  • Morning rush hour in San Jose typically occurs on weekdays from around 7:00 to 9:00 am and 4:00 to 6:00 pm on weekdays. During this time, commuters heading to work and students traveling to school can lead to increased traffic congestion on 280 (I-280) and U.S. Route 101 (US 101). On weekends, especially Saturday mornings and early afternoons, there may be increased traffic as people run errands, shop, and visit popular recreational areas.
  • 25% of our users found an SUV hire in San Jose for ₹ 1,208 or less
  • Book your SUV hire in San Jose at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • April is typically the cheapest month to hire an SUV in San Jose, with prices around ₹ 60 per day. The most expensive month is July, with average prices of ₹ 83 per day.

When we arrived at Oakland Airport to drop off the car, one of the workers saw that we were traveling with a toddler, a car seat and a lot of luggage. To save us the trouble of having to unload everything, carry it and wait for the shuttle, he drove us directly to the airport terminal in our rental car, and then returned the car for us. While this is not normally part of his job, he went above and beyond to help us. This made our day and was a great start to our Christmas holiday.

Website says Alamo closes at 11 PM on Sunday. All flights into San Jose were delayed Sunday night, June 9. No options were listed for car pickup on your website. After a wait while the agent checked somethings, he told me to go to Enterprise, and the Alamo contract would be honored. And that is what happened. Might be helpful to put something on your website about your brother/sister agencies!

Cons:

We rented for a month an SUV in order to go from CA to FL. The internal electrical stopped working on our way there. When I called to alert the problem in California, they told me to go to the nearest airport enterprise location in FL. Here, their first answer was that I should take it to a Firestone store to get it checked. I called the nearest Firestone and they told me they couldn't touch the car being so new and low milage; it was the dealership's problem. I called enterprise again and they told me to take it to the nearest dealership. At the dealership they told me that they can't service a car brought in by the customer. With enough frustration built, and the original San Jose office shinning by their absence, I demanded a simple swap of the car but they made me call 4 different enterprise locations in FL looking for an SUV replacement. An assistant manager in Daytona finally managed to put us in a minivan, but all of this took 20 calls and 3 days of painful dodging by their representatives. I will definitely be dodging their service in their future. Not recommend.

I showed up 10 minutes early for my appointment and The lady who was working was arguing with another client about returning his car and it was very uncomfortable. They continued on for about 30 minutes before looking at me and telling me to go away because they have no cars. She then tried to explain to me that the rental car company doesn’t have enough cars and how it’s so hard for her and all she was doing was complaining about her job and how much stress it is to work there. I had to leave in the middle of the conversation cause she wouldn’t stop talking about how horrible her life was and the company she works for is I then left and went across the street and rented a car from enterprise with no issue for the same price.

Pros:

The car was clean and the price was very fair. However, see below...

Cons:

I rented a certain class for not only the luxury comfort, but for the size. However, Dollar did not have the car I rented. They first tried to down grade me to a lower class, but larger car. I did not think this was fair so I did not agree. We went through the options and I explained, due to having two of my elder uncles with me and their need for a larger car, I needed something larger. Eventually a larger car was offered, but at a much higher rate. Again, I did not agree as a car in my category should have been available to me. Eventually I was offered another luxury vehicle (supposedly in the same class), but much smaller and the entire weekend we had difficulty getting my uncles in and out of it. Due to the inability to have a car ready for me in the class I rented I would have preferred the “upgrade” to an adequate car but the agent would not agree without additional payment to which I did not think was fair.

Hidden charges. Confusion among Kyak, Expedia, Thrifty, and Hertz, resulted in different rates, fees and charges that I had not approved. Horrible experience overall.

The worst rental car experience ever! I travel to San Jose once a month and rely heavily on the car rental service industry for transportation. I made reservations, arrived for my pick-up and then nightmare began! They required a $500 deposit for the sedan with a $174.94 rental fee for the day. Last month Alamo's security deposit was $200 and have the rental price. I return the vehicle after my trip, board my flight and return home here to Los Angeles. I then see an unauthorized transaction for $100 that very night, and another $100 the following evening. Trying to reach Thrifty is a nightmare in itself since its system is automated and they DID NOT even return my detailed email of the issue. I had to call my bank and file a claim on the two extra charges and cancel my debit card!!! This entire experience with "thrifty" has been the worst. WILL NOT BE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN.

Pros:

Straightforward process. Car feels clean

Cons:

The hood of the car open but there was no indication of it on the car. Found out when it started moving on the freeway. This put my life in danger. Staff should have made sure that the hood was close and the car should have warned the driver that the hood is open.

Mike, Sept 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff were very friendly at pick up and drop off and the car was clean. It had a few scratches, but nothing too bad. Fuel economy was better than expected.

Cons:

The price was significantly better than other companies for the same type of car and it would have rated a higher score on value for money if it were not for the fact that the car needed some TLC. The engine sounded rough under load (like it was knocking), it needed oil (which I added) and the convertible top had trouble locking properly when it was lowered. I noticed later that the key had a sticker on it that said "check engine", but it seems that was not done.

very little to like. had to wait nearly an hour for a reserved car to become available. initial interaction with staff extremely frustrating (don't know when one will become available)...had to talk with a manager who, in fairness, was apologetic. added fees and taxes added 50% to the rate quoted by Kayak (Kayak's fault to not disclose?). Avis then tried to overcharge upon return; had to call them to correct. Will avoid renting through Kayak and Avis in the future.

Pros:

Staff was inept and inexperienced to handle a simple situation. We liked the car model.

Cons:

The car was not cleaned at all. Surprising they rented out without cleaning and sanitizing in COVID times. After bringing this issue to the agent, he said he could not help it. I was mad but had no option but to take it. Myself and two of my family members cleaned the car inside out for two hours before starting the trip. Horrible experience. Won’t rent from Avis again.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, vehicle was not in good condition. The “needs oil” light was on, the rear right brake light and turn signal did not work which made it very stressful and dangerous to be driving especially at night in extremely heavy traffic thru Los Angeles. Trying to change lanes without a working blinker was very stressful and dangerous especially with a vehicle of this size (12 passenger van ). Daily maintenance checks on these standard yet important functions should be required

The staff was helpful. When I picked up the car, it had a half tank of gas. They told me to return it with the same amount, which I did. But when I got there, they charged me for the remainder for a full tank. I went to the desk and the agent there and guy who checked it out a few days before to me were very helpful and corrected it (refunded the difference).

For starters I thought I was renting car with kayak not with other party that I never heard of it. On paper it says I got car at 5:36 but reality was that car was no ready and got it at 5:59p not a problem understandable even if it delay me am put me to more traffic time but for them is not ok for us to turn late, I got there at 8;07p and seems I was charge another. My point is we don’t get discount for pick up late but get fully charged for being late “very fair”

The signs at the airport were poor. Luckily a security guard arrived and directed me to the 4th floor. I rented from Payless, a sign at their counter directed me to Budget and, in the end I got the car keys from Avis. Car was small, as ordered, so the comfort wasn't excellent, but as expected. The onboard computer and controls, in the Nissan Versa, are hard to understand and reset. I never trusted the distance-to-empty indicator/estimate and when driving almost 2,000 miles that is important. Had two cellphones connected, one for calls and one for audio. The incoming calls always kept going to voice mail after pausing the audio. Overall excellent, but quirky. Recommend

Very long wait for pickup at LAX, slow moving queue at FOX, and ended up with a large Jeep SUV (Terrible to drive), after ordering midsized SUV. Final annoyance was that I was charged $150 when quoted $105. Tried to ring to dispute the charges but no answer.
