KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in South San Francisco
While public transport is useful when you're sticking to the downtown core of South San Francisco, having your own vehicle will give you much more freedom to explore the city and the region more broadly. Some areas of San Francisco and other nearby cities aren't well-connected via public transport. You may need to make multiple transfers to reach nearby cities like Sacramento or San Jose and driving usually takes less time. Book with a company offering car rental in South San Francisco to travel on your own schedule.

Additionally, San Francisco has Transit-Only lanes for public transport, taxis and emergency vehicles. These lanes are usually clearly marked with red paint. While some are only in operation at certain times, many are used 24/7, so it's best to avoid them entirely. You can legally enter them temporarily, to get into a parking space or make a turn, if necessary.
Avoid driving in South San Francisco between 07:00 and 09:00 and between 16:00 and 19:00.

South San Francisco car rental reviews and directory
Not anyone’s fault, VW Jetta was comfortable and clean but my size 14 feet didn’t fit too well. My foot touches brake when pushing gas pedal if I did not drive with my foot twisted overas space is limited near pedals . Over a good trip.

To my surprise, they did not provide a shuttle service from/to the airport. Had I known that, I would have paid a couple of dollars more per day and saved the inconvenience & the Uber fare to their office & back.
