Usually yes, but be sure to make sure that you wont have a mileage restriction





rent in a neighoborhood where the locals rent, not where the major hotels are.





Call Enterprise as a good starting point for the best rates.





Also much of SF is accessible by public trransportation, in the city the car is a hindrance, you only need it for the days you are going to the out lying areas like wine countryHow can I get a cheap rental car in San Francisco without using the airport rental agency?

Take the BART downtown to your hotel. There are lots of car rental companies downtown that are cheaper than the airport.
The offsite car rental agencies have free shuttles from SFO.
