-3 Stars for super duper delayed pick up for a rental car we had scheduled to be ready after we…read morereturned to SF from a trip. 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.

TLDR: 2 stars for delayed pick up (cars not on the lot and not ready even after they arrived), but…read more1 star added for gas comped. Long Story for those who enjoy a long walk in the park: we rented a car to drive home from SF after a trip. 2 stars: The car was not ready and I had to wait over an hour beyond my scheduled time to receive the car. Many others who booked for pick-up times 1-2 hours before my pick-up time had to wait over 2 hours to get their cars as the cars were still being transported from SFO to Beach Street office that morning instead of earlier and they were not yet washed or detailed, so everyone had to wait and there was a huge line. 1 star: It was appreciated that the staff compensated by waiving the gas so that we did not have to refill the gas, but we also got a gas-guzzler we would not been happy with, so it was fair for the time we had to wait and the lack of choice of cars (we would've picked a better gas-mileage, more fuel efficient standard car which was the category we had booked), that we were comped the gas. We do appreciate this convenient location to the SF Fisherman's Wharf, but there should be better coordination between this office and the SFO one to ensure there's enough cars for the rental appointments pending at this Beach St. office. Total = 3 stars: Thankfully, I was not in a hurry to catch a flight or go somewhere other than home after a trip, but others in the line ahead of me were in danger of missing their flights, etc. and in fact one person had to abandon their rental car reservation and had to opt for an Uber in order to get to their flight on time and not miss their flight.

My life was seriously at risk on Feb. 2 because of negligence from this company, and the employees…read moreat this location lacked compassion. I had the absolute worst experience from Hertz this week. And before I get to that, I want to highlight something horrible that set off the rental. The internet was down so even though I pre-checked in on the app, I was delayed. Then he decided to do it with paper form, but he took a photo of my driver's license and credit card. WHY THE HELL did he do that? He claimed he didn't want it on the form. So instead, was it okay to have it on the phone? I was NOT happy with that and asked that it be deleted, and he said he would when the internet was back up. I am still worried about potential fraud or theft. And it gets worse.  On my way to my destination, I blew a tire on the very busy six-lane Hwy. 101. I called 911, and the dispatcher alerted a tow truck driver for roadside clearance. She also said, because I was alone, to keep my seatbelt on and lock my doors. How very reassuring.  An officer arrived and offered to change the tire for me while we waited for the tow. He popped the trunk: NO SPARE TIRE. He said he had never seen that before. There was a jack and a spot for it. But the tire was removed.  Because Hertz removed a basic simple safety tool, I had to be towed from the highway and dropped underneath an overpass. (The company's role is only to remove vehicles, not to help beyond that.) There was trash and debris everywhere, broken down cars, and apartments that were junky. I WAS SCARED.  I called Hertz and the bot that answered kept telling me my reservation was cancelled, which it was not because I obviously had my car. It was very stressful. I finally talked to a real person who contacted a AAA towing company. I picked up a new vehicle at the airport Hertz - the rep there was very nice. But by then it was almost 5 hours after I picked up my car and I was only driving what should have taken 30 minutes. I missed lunch, a business meeting and other work time.  I was charged $120 for the tow - WHEN I WAS PUT INTO A SITUATION BY HERTZ in San Fran. NOT the end of the story. When I returned the new vehicle on Feb. 4 at Fisherman's Wharf site, the rep shrugged and said not all vehicles have spares. I said it has a jack and a spot for the tire - the tire was missing. Then he backpedaled and said it depends on the state where the vehicle came. THAT IS AWFUL.  It should not matter if I rent a car from California or Arkansas or Illinois or Texas. SOMEONE at Hertz put me at risk, and there was no remorse, concern or attempt to fix.  This is a massive safety concern.

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!).

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.

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.
