My family and I came to the Fisherman's Wharf Enterprise for a drop-off before a cruise and pick-up…read moreafterwards. Dropping off the car was very easy. The directions are clear to drive to the top floors of the garage and to leave the car. The line when we dropped off was extremely long. If you are in any sort of time crunch, I would definitely advise you to arrive early due to the wait times. This is because this is not just an Enterprise center. National and Alamo are also here. Our pickup experience went well too. There was a timing error in our reservation. The time we were set to pick up our vehicle was set later than when we actually needed it. The staff members were super understanding and assisted us with getting our vehicle without having to wait around all day. They were very knowledgeable and assisted us quickly without holding up the line. It was easy to grab the vehicle too. We went to the top of the garage and were greeted by the friendly employees who walked us through the inspection. The facility is relatively clean and safe. There is a restroom available in the lobby and plenty of seating. I also appreciate that there is security at the door! I would definitely use this Enterprise location again!

Our vehicle performed well throughout the hundreds of miles of terrain including Shoreline to Yosemite. The vehicle was comfortable and contained multiple suitcases without incident. After seven days, the return experience at San Diego airport Went smoothly and efficiently. Each associate interacted with us with a smile and pleasant tree, including the shuttle bus driver, who swiftly stored our luggage. For the brief trip to the terminal, and then just swiftly disembarked. We were treated professionally, politely, and efficiently. I have often rented from Hertz and have found this experience and value to be at or better.

My husband had to wait over 2 hours, and the processing of those who had pick ups earlier than us was molasses / snail slow (insert any given adjectives) so that was quite frustrating. When it finally got to our turn, we got a different level vehicle than we had booked so that the SUV given to us was a major gas guzzler which we obviously did not appreciate. Thankfully, we knew we won't have to fill up till we got back to our hometown where gas prices are more reasonable than SF proper. +1 Star for the staff in charge giving customers who have waited so long (pretty much everyone that morning) a waiver from having to fill up on gas for the rental car return, that was a nice gesture and we appreciated it as we would definitely pick a gas saver vehicle vs the major gas guzzle (it was a. American car, sadly) which consumed 1/2 a tank of gas just going from SF back to Sac. This can be compared to the Korean branded SUV (smaller yes, but not by much and plenty big enough for our needs for this trip) that we rented from another rental company which had SO many choices for us that we had a hard time picking one, which used barely 1/4 tank for us to drive from Sac to SF. It turns out that this Avis location did not have cars on their lot ready for their customers and had to send a bunch of their staff in 1 van to pick up all the vehicles they needed from their SFO location to this one near the embarcadero so that was why it took so long. Each vehicle had to be cleaned on the inside and go through the car wash. Perhaps they needed to pick up cars from SFO earlier before their customers' scheduled pick up time and maybe even late in the night the day before. In short, it was a disappointing experience, and thank God we were not in a hurry to get somewhere like many of the other customers were, who has to catch a flight or get somewhere on time. Otherwise, we'd been extra stressed, so we waited over 2 hours, from our pick up time, but at least we did get gas comped and the vehicle was relatively new although quite gas consuming and not the smoothest drive, according to my husband. Hopefully Avis would be better next time.

I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the customer service experience at your rental…read morelocation. I have been waiting for thirty minutes, and there is currently a line of approximately fifteen customers extending outside the building. It is highly concerning that only one staff member is assigned to manage this volume of traffic. This level of understaffing creates an unnecessarily frantic and disorganized environment that is far below a professional standard. I have also noted that the online reviews for this location are consistently poor, which suggests that these operational failures are an ongoing issue rather than an isolated incident. I strongly urge your management team to conduct a thorough review of this location's staffing and service protocols. It is imperative that you either allocate the resources necessary to ensure a smooth, efficient experience for your customers or reconsider the viability of this location. I look forward to hearing how you plan to address these significant operational deficiencies.

Amazing location for San Francisco residents living in this part of town and not wanting to hike all the way to SFO or deal with the mob scenes of Union Square. Hailing for Manhattan, I'm just so not interested in owning a car. ZipCar is amazing for a few hours to a day, but a proper rental car is best when you want to go somewhere farther away for a long weekend. My biggest issue is that the hours are convenient for the workers, but not so much for customers. You can drop off past closing time (5:30PM on weekdays, 1PM on weekends) until midnight, but will have to pay an extra $15 valet fee. Very inconsiderate to customers since long weekend trips usually end late in the evening, but worth the $15 just to be done with it all. The lone guy at the desk was very quick and nice. I liked having the hotel valet take care of bringing out and returning the car to avoid obnoxious parking garage navigation myself. I didn't experience any of the delays other people complained about, but then again, I was the only customer each time so that might have biased things. The price was very reasonable, just google "Budget Coupon Code" before you book online to find some discounts. Try to avoid the add-on fees, I mean who pays $15.95/day for GPS when everyone's smart phone has Google Maps nowadays? A cheap car phone charger can keep you navigating the whole time despite battery hungry 3G. Also, research your credit card's car insurance policy, it probably covers a lot of the things Budget offers (and you know their sales people won't tell you about redundant coverage!).

Hey, I'm in my mid seventies and Kyte is an app with little human interaction. I ensured that both my wife and I were verified as drivers, and that my insurance coverage was downloaded. Bruce delivered my car to our hotel. He was great, and he helped load our luggage plus showed us the Audi's particulars. I tipped Bruce $10. He deserved it. Bruce used a scooter to return to the Kyte lot in the Mission. My one mistake was not filling our car up with gas on our return. There were gas stations on the SF side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Kyte charged me more than $8.75 a gallon to fill my car after promising to use competitive pricing. Shame on you Kyte, but all the rental car companies do that. But, $8.75! Bruce came again to pick up my car at the appointed time. He was just as kind, and I tipped him an additional $10.00. I wouldn't hesitate using Kyte again, but I would fill the car up with gas myself on my return.

I went with a Toyota Corolla, which I drive personally. I like to stick with something I'm used to. It was about $250 for four days. I arrived right on schedule and the car was waiting for me. The gentleman behind the counter was super helpful and friendly. He walked me through everything I needed to know, even the details on tolls and stuff. The car was about two blocks from their office, but they explained how to get to it and even had a print out of a map to help get me there. It also had pictures so there was no way I was going to miss it. The car was a 2021 and in great condition and had a full tank of gas. Another positive of getting a Toyota is the gas mileage. I went to Sonora and back (roughly 275 miles) and I only had to refill once before I dropped it off... which was also super easy. I simply dropped it off where I picked it up and handed the valet the key. I would totally rent from here again if I find myself in the heart of San Francisco and in need of a ride for a few days.

Customer service was super clear and nice, got all the paperwork done when I arrived, and gave clear directions for pick up and drop off. Cars are located at a garage two blocks up from the office, so adjust accordingly if in a rush or carrying a lot of luggage. Drop off is super easy, just leave the keys with the parking attendant and you're done! My only small issue is that as a small local company, you might be in a bit of a bind if you need service or have an accident after hours and far out of the city.

After our…read morerental, we returned the car and did a full walk-around inspection with a Sixt employee, who carefully checked the entire vehicle inside and out. He then signed the return document and wrote "No new damages were detected." To protect ourselves, we also took a detailed, time-stamped video of the whole car (interior and exterior, with close-ups) at drop-off, clearly showing there was no damage. Despite all of that, we later received a letter from Sixt claiming we had damaged the car and trying to hold us financially responsible. It feels like they're ignoring their own employee's signed report and our clear video evidence. This has turned what should have been a simple rental into a frustrating dispute. Based on this experience, I do not trust Sixt's post-rental damage process and would strongly caution others to be extremely careful--or consider renting elsewhere.

So, so angry about this company. They charged us over $500 and confirmed in writing that we could…read morepick up the car at 1am. Got to the counter and it was closed up tight and had been for an hour. We rented a car from another company - one that was actually open and able to help us! - and Sixt is unwilling to refund our money, so we're out $500 for a car we never saw, much less drove. Multiple calls and emails to the company have accomplished nothing. Steer clear!
