Pickup time was 18:00 and return time was 18:00. We arrived at the counter around 17:30. After rejecting a bunch of extra charges the service staff introduced, the payment list still included an extra hour of rental fee just because we arrived half an hour early. After negotiation, the return time was changed to 17:00, avoiding extra charges. We almost ended up with a car of the same group, but fortunately refused it and were willing to wait, which took about fifty minutes.

Picking up and exchanging the car was easy, but the location for exchanging the car was hard to find with the GPS; we circled around before finding the entrance.

Chose a Jeep Compass, drove back to the hotel, a ten to twenty minute drive, and smelled a burning odor when parking. It was either the brakes or near the engine. It troubled me all night. They replaced it with a Ford Escape the next day, almost messing up my itinerary.

Satisfied

The process at the San Francisco airport branch was quick and straightforward. I booked an RV4 or Ford Escape class vehicle, and the pickup was very flexible—you could choose the car yourself in the garage. I opted for a JEEP, which was actually an upgrade at no extra charge since I had purchased the best insurance. On the third day in San Francisco, my car window was broken, and items were stolen while inside Golden Gate Park. After filing a police report, I contacted the rental company and immediately returned the car without any additional paperwork. The service was prompt and customer-friendly.
