San Francisco Car Rental

In the midst of all the action downtown, you can find Budget on Howard St in San Francisco. After long days of meetings at the Moscone Center, you’ll be thrilled to hop into one of our rental cars in San Francisco. Our Budget location is also close to Virgin Hotels, InterContinental San Francisco, and the San Francisco Visitor Information Center, making this a convenient location for visitors too!

Once you have a Budget car rental in San Francisco, you can easily hop onto nearby I-80 and begin exploring the city! First stop at the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. You can take pictures of the bridge at the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center or the Golden Gate Bridge View Vista Point. After that, take your pick of driving through Dragon’s Gate into Chinatown, past the Painted Ladies on Steiner Street, or up to Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square for some delicious food.

When all is said and done, you’ll find Budget locations around San Francisco and even around the United States where you can schedule to return your rental car. If you’re saying goodbye to the City by the Bay at the airport, just drop off the rental to Budget at the San Francisco International Airport.
