With mild weather year-round and plenty of busy cities nearby, a smaller vehicle, such as an economy or compact car, will allow you to explore wine country and still take a day to visit San Francisco or Oakland. Especially due to the hilly, narrow streets of San Francisco, a smaller automatic-transmission vehicle is best for visitors expecting to spend time in the City by the Bay.

Robert, May 2020
Pros:
Pickup and drop off were great; however, I for got to fuel up and it cost me $131.00 for a 1/2 a tank of gas. Can you help me with this loss?Cons:
What ever you do don't forget to fill the fuel tank, it will cost you ten times the amount to fill if the agency has to do it.2.0 Poor

Maia, Nov 2020
Pros:
Car was clean and in good conditionCons:
No sign about where to drop off keys and the number left at the desk went to voicemail from which we never heard back. Fortunately someone finally informed us the drop box was outside. The attendant from pickup may have told us but it would be helpful to have a sign at the desk.2.0 Poor
Nicholas, Oct 2020
Pros:
The guy I picked the car up from was friendly and helpful. I declined insurance and I appreciate that he did not push it.Cons:
However, the car reeked of cigarettes after about 3 miles down the road, so I assume they cleaned the interior to eliminate the smell but not the air filter. That was kinda gross but not that big of a deal. The big deal was after I returned the car. I returned it an hour earlier than the deadline stated on the contract, but then got an email with an invoice stating I owed $20 for a late fee and I'm still trying to figure that one out. On top of that I was quoted $75 online, but then that jumped up to $99 inexplicably when I picked it up. I will update this to a better score if they fix the inaccurate bill but so far I am pretty disappointed.One location in Santa Rosa
