SFO Car Rentals
 
Just realized that we need to book a rental car for our upcoming trip to SF. Is anyone familiar with the layout at the airport? Dollar seems to have the best rates, but I don't want to be shuttled from 20 miles away. Are any of the agencies actually on-site, or are they all in a similar location with a short shuttle distance? <BR> <BR>I know some of you probably feel we don't need a car (at least in the city), but since we're doing lots of day trips I've just decided to get one for my peace of mind. <BR> <BR>Thanks for the input!

Now that I've FOUND my thread...thanks for the feedback. We decided to go with Avis. <BR> <BR>Kam, how much extra time should we allow on the return trip due to the construction? <BR> <BR>We
