Auto Rental: Dollar vs. Thrifty
I can get a good rate from either of these companies, picking the car up at SFO and dropping it off a week later in down town San Francisco. Is one of these companies more reliable or better than the other in some other way?

I've found them to be pretty interchangeable, and usually go by the best price. Would one of the downtown SF locations be more convenient for you than the other?
I would also suggest you sign up for their loyalty programs if you haven't already done so, since that can usually get you out faster.

Thanks everybody.
I'm going with Dollar--they are a little cheaper, they have on-line "Rapid Check-In," and they sent me an e-mail telling me I'm "ready to go."
Judy24: They both have offices at the same downtown location, which is two blocks from my hotel.

they are owned by the same company so not too much difference HOWEVER DO MAKE SURE you go around the car when you pick it up before you sign the form that says there is no damage. We used to rent form Dollar and Thrifty at SFO and downtown all the time,. and our experience is that they ask you to sign off on the no damage form before you inspect the car. We now walk around the car and make sure every little scratch is noted before we drive off.
