“We were staying in Foster city for a week. Found budget to be our nearest rental company. Rented a normal car but was then offered to upgrade for a very competitive price. So we upgraded to a mustang so we could live the American dream whilst on holiday. The company did not disappoint and the service was excellent from start to finish. Steven who dealt with us was amazing and took time time to ask how our holiday was going and where we were thinking of visiting with the car. He explained the toll system and general driving in the US.
We would definitely use this company again if we find ourselves in Foster city again.”
“I rented an RV for my family and had a great experience. Luis was very courteous and patient with my many questions. Everything was explained clearly and precisely. The vehicle was very clean and orderly. It handled well with plenty of acceleration and solid brakes. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and lots of space for storage. Everything was better than I’d hoped for. Thank you Luis!”
“Excellent facility. The packing store has everything you need and you should definitely take advantage of it. When you are moving stuff around. You can buy boxes and then any boxes you don't end up using. They will buy back. They also have a box recycle bin so if you've got used boxes you can put them in there and other people will pick them up.
The big carts are outside. If you need a lot of boxes and other materials. My girlfriend and I go estate sales and garage sales and on occasion we will buy box of 100 sheets of packing paper and they'll take us about a year or two to go through.
Easy to get to. Not far from the freeway.”

“Danny and his crew are a great team to work with. I've been coming here for nearly 20 years. Equipment is in good condition, and they'll go out of their way to make something right if it fails during use (I've rented Bobcats, Excavators, Trailers, Jumping Jacks, etc....things break). 5 Stars for the continued effort for keeping the homeowner's arsenal of tools ready to go at a moment's notice.”
“My company/work has been working with United Rentals for year. Most particularly, the San Lorenzo location as it's just down the street. We don't use a lot of larger equipment, but the items that we do rent on a regular, our team has no issues. If the location does not have it, they look to see what other sites in the Bay Area, which makes us feel like they go the extra mile. We will continue to rent equipment from UR.”
“We rented out a 3ft deep Ditch Witch for ground squirrel fencing and worked closely with Charlie. All the service over the phone and in person was great. We had to troubleshoot multiple times with extending the reservation due to getting sick and also with my truck not being large enough for transport. Throughout the entire time, Charlie was very supportive and understanding. He made the rental of machine really smooth and stress free.”
“Great, easy, smooth experience. Friendly and helpful staff. After hours return was simple & quick. Vehicle and equipment well kept. Worth the drive out of SF to use this location if you’re debating this or another location. Free, safe parking lot across the street. 10/10 would recommend.”
“The customer service representatives was very helpful and provided an informative experience.The vehicle functioned as expected and met our needs-leading to a productive process for us.We look forward to using Ryder for our future rental needs.”
“Rick is extremely great to work with. He is always very professional and makes the rental and drop off process extremely easy. Equipment is not only in great shape but is always clean as well.”
“good equipment, well maintained and the owner wants you to have a good experience. He sets up the trailer, checks it, and lets you know when to return it and how.”
“8/2023-Mostly a positive experience with checkout except their truck photos didn't show a big paint chips on the hood which I disputed before checking out. Checking in was mostly positive except the cashier was unknowledgeable about how charges would be badge if different from the original estimate.3/2020-I was so reluctant to use these guys after reading all the horrible reviews but I didn't have any other choices for an in-city move small pickup truck. Booked online the night before and price was reasonable. Moving day and visited store and declined the extra liability coverage ($10). Their online check-in and acceptance procedure was fairly painless. Although the photos they presented was the truck very clean and washed but when I got it the interior and exterior were a bit dirty but not a huge deal. I still took my own photos just in case. About 15 min and was out the door. $20 + $0.79/mile. 2 hours later and returned with gas replaced. A few extras miles was accrued and charged. I think I was very lucky compared to all the previous reviews.”
“I dropped off a truck I rented from elsewhere. I was charged for some damage by mistake, and they were understandable when I explained to them it was an error. And I received refund immediately.”
“At pick up, the man helping me was great, very helpful, and very easy to work with. The van was in great shape. And the drop-off was easy. Everyone involved was a great help and I'll be using this location again in September. Thanks!”
“Excellent service ! They work on my truck and they did a great job, they really fix my issue with the right diagnostic and repair .
Others shops in the area didn’t fix my truck issues only bad diagnostics and poor repairs .”
“100% impressed. The clerk wanted to confirm all of the extras on my reservation, item by item. The uhaul website adds things to your order that you don't notice. This is a very honest business and I highly recommend them. They do business the right way and treated other customers with alot of reapect.. Also I was able to get a van for a large purchase within 45 mins of booking online. It wasa clean can and smooth transaction.”
“I was so grateful to learn I would'nt have to trek to the east bay to get a rental! Make your reservations online conveniently. I was also able to extend my rental online very easily. I had a fabulous experience checking in and the vehicle was ready to go, thoroughly cleaned and a full tank of gas - completely set up for my use. The gentleman that checked me in was thorough, friendly, and made sure I was satisfied with the vehicle and service provided. Honestly, this was the easiest and absolute best experience I have ever had renting a car. Super relieved and will definitely use again. I will definitely recommend this Budget Car Rental and utilize them again - hands down! Thank you!
**The office is located in the back of the building. Take a right into the driveway (right where the Budget & Avis signs are located on the side of the building) go down the short hill to the back and the office is the first one on the left. You will see the rental cars and trucks in the parking spaces, so you know you're in the right space.”
“One of the guys on site, Charles, helped me out with some questions I had regarding shipping containers, pricing on their forklifts, etc, and he gave me a really helpful response from his inside perspective- no pushy sales or anything, just an honest and helpful overview of how he’d handlemy shipping situation.To me, this is a strong signal of good business and a place I plan to come back to for other forklift rental services.”
“great, seamless experience. so much better than using Uhaul who dont even let you reserve a truck until 24 hours prior. The guy who checked me in was extremely professional and provided great service. Made my long distance move very easy.”
“First timers renting Rv and it was awesome. The San Mateo location is very friendly (they don't try to nickel and dime you) and the Rv was clean and ran very well. We rented the standard size and it was not that hard to drive. Having own bathroom and shower is so relaxing and eliminates worry of finding hotel or restroom. The refrigerator kept our food/ice cream/ drinks cold whole time and hardly used much propane. We dumped our black and gray tanks in the rwc Rv park for $25 and then filled up gas before returning the Rv. Will do it again soon as the Rv experience is a lot of fun. The radio now has Bluetooth so you can play music from your iphone easy while it charges on the drive - nice.”
“Was pleasantly surprised. Made a reservation for a cargo van over a month in advance (reservation was for a mid-month rental) and while I was concerned due to the poor reviews and possibility of getting “upgraded“ to a bigger vehicle with lower gas mileage for a cross country on-way rental, I was relieved when I arrived to see that they had dozens of cargo vans available. I arrived a half hour before they officially opened but the gate was open and after waiting for 15 minutes the manager noticed me and asked if he could help. After finding out that I was making a cross country trip he gave me a new cargo van that had very low mileage. Had to wait a few more minutes for them to fill the tank up, but otherwise no issue.”
“I love this place cause i wotk at this place we do all all auto and truck repair. Sell lift trucks and repair. Great gropu of gentleman i work with. Clean shop. Nice office staff.”
“Cory Taylor, Budget Truck Rental Specialist, provided one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had. Another location was unable to provide us with the vehicle we had reserved, and Cory immediately was able to help us when we called Foster City location to see if they had the van. There seemed to be an issue with transferring our reservation and Cory was relentless in helping us work it out. This is one of the only locations of a truck rental that I would ever recommend.”
