No cars available at the time of my pickup. Car offered was not at the level I reserved. Car had intermittent issues - key fob battery was low, rear view camera sometimes cut out, trunk did not lock. Unlikely to book here again.Reviewed 30 Apr 2026

Frustrating. I ordered an midsized, they gave me an SUV and charged me an upgrade without telling me. The line was a mess to get the car and once I discovered their charge and disputed it the line took forever to resolve, almost missed my flight. Never again!Reviewed 19 Aug 2025

I ordered a car and ended up off the airport site. Very upset. Over 45 minutes before I got to the counter. Only two people working. I will never buy a car through them again.Reviewed 28 Mar 2025

Kayak advertised it as being in the SFO terminal, but never anything about needing to take a shuttle to an offsite location. That extra shuttle time made us late for our first winery visit, which was embarrassing for our group since their first experience was being turned away empty.Reviewed 2 Mar 2025

It wasn’t clear at the time if booking that the rental facility was off the airport and required taking the train and then a shuttle. It is easily 20-30 minutes extra to picking any other rental from the rental car station. This information should be available upfront.Reviewed 12 Jan 2025

Do not rent from Fox/Europcar at SFO. The shuttle to the off site rental took forever to show up, and then when I got there I waited in line for well over an hour despite having a reservation. They told me I’d have to fill it up before returning but once (finally !) on the road the tank was less than half full. Felt like an experience in a developing country…. I’d gladly spend more to have a seamless and quick rental.Reviewed 26 Oct 2024
