Hi, Trying to find out how the toll system works in the San Francisco area. Is the area a $3.95/RENTAL day or $3.95/USAGE day for the electronic tolling? Makes a difference as I will be there for two weeks, plan to hit Monterey, Jelly Belly, Point Reyes/Napa and back to SFO. Thanks!
Check out National's toll administration vendor
If you or any driver operate the rental vehicle in Northern California, Florida, Colorado, or Texas, and generate an unpaid toll, you will be charged our TollPass Convenience Charge of $3.95 U.S. dollars for each day you use a toll road or bridge plus the cost of all unpaid tolls. The maximum TollPass Convenience Charge for the rental period is $19.75 U.S. dollars, plus the cost of all unpaid tolls. For information call 877-860-1283 or go to www.htallc.com/nationalcar

Here is the link for prepaying tolls.

Picked up a car this morning from ES
4+ Camaros, some Impalas, several Nissan/Hyundai SUVs, a couple Altimas, a Buick
I grabbed a '16 Maxima and not feeling this car, is there a protocol for just driving there again in the afternoon and just asking to swap for another car because this one sucks (I'll make something up)?

Swapped it out no problem, just said I wanted a SUV instead and they didn't bat an eye. Gave me this piece of paper that says Vehicle Exchange form or something.
Swapped the Maxima out for a Charger R/T
Since morning, a bunch of chargers showed up, a Fusion hybrid, some Malibus, a couple more Maximas, and...a Corolla

Hey there, coming to SFO next week for a one way, 8 day rental to LAX. Just wondering what has been in the Premium Section (paid upgrade) at SFO lately. I have an EA mid size reservation and want something nicer for driving the PCH. Curious as to what has been in the paid upgrade aisle lately.
I have an Enterprise Luxury rental booked too for an 'XTS or similar' in case the aisle is junk..
First time poster, thanks in advance for the help.

Picked up 11/25. EA was pretty slim. One 2017 Elantra, one Accent and one 2016 Cruze (which I chose).
This is the one city where I like little cars. However, I left the car in the hotel parking garage and used Uber all weekend.... much easier. Next time I'll just Uber back and forth from the airport as well.
Can't complain since my three day car rental was $11 + $27 in taxes/fees.
