Renting a car at San Francisco Airport
Passengers arriving at San Francisco International Airport with a rental car reservation should proceed to the AirTrain station at their terminal. All terminals are linked via these free trains. Blue Line takes about 10 minutes to arrive at the Rental Car Center. Pick-up and drop-off takes place on Level 3 of the Center.
Fox Rent-A-Car and Hertz are based on Level 1; Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, National and Thrifty are located on Level 4.
Several more car rental companies operate in San Francisco Airport:
Ace Rent-A-Car, Advantage, Airport Van Rental, Europcar (via Advantage), E-Z Rent-A-Car, Payless, Silvercar and Sixt.
Customers of the above companies should take the Blue AirTrain to the Rental Car Center, exit their train, leave the station and turn left. There is a Shuttle Pick-up Area close by, where courtesy phones are located. Some car rental companies provide regular scheduled, free shuttles, for example Advantage and Sixt. Others, like Ace Rent A Car, request that customers contact them either by telephoning on a provided line or via the courtesy call boxes at the shuttle islands.
Car rental companies that do not have a desk at the Rental Car Center are usually within a 2-mile drive of the main terminal. After contacting the car rental company, shuttles arrive within 10 to 12 minutes at the Shuttle Pick-up islands.
