The service at the San Francisco pick-up location was mediocre.

Our flight was delayed, so we picked up the car 2 hours earlier than scheduled. Due to language barriers, we were concerned about being charged for unnecessary insurance, but it turned out to be fine. The car was picked up quickly, but the attitude of the front desk staff could be improved.

I compared for a long time before choosing Avis, attracted by the international brand. They didn't disappoint us. The San Francisco airport has a light rail directly to the car rental center with all major rental companies. The big companies have queues, but the speed was acceptable. There was no aggressive push for insurance. After handling the paperwork, they just told us the car slot number, and we went to the parking lot with our voucher to pick up the car. We originally booked a Chrysler but ended up with a Kia. Initially, we were a bit disappointed, but it turned out to drive very well, great acceleration and handling, overall a fantastic driving experience. Returning the car was also very convenient; we just filled up the gas and drove to the parking lot, they checked it quickly and processed our return. Since we returned the car two days earlier, we even got a refund for those two days.

The store staff was quite helpful and managed to find us a Chrysler upon our request. Although it was a lower-end variant, it was the model we wanted as we are familiar with its driving features.

Very convenient.
