Local Oakland guys offering totally reasonable prices, fast responsive service, clean reliable cars. What more do you want? A silly logo of a dinosaur with wheels? They’ve got that too

They are lifesavers!
We had already booked and paid for a car with Hertz, but ran into problems with our international credit card and were denied the car. After just one quick call to Rent a Relic, we were immediately assured that they could help us. When we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly, everything was super easy and within less than 10 minutes we were driving away in our car without any issues. You really feel well taken care of here. The return was just as smooth and friendly. Huge thanks again to the whole team – big shout out for this company. We’d absolutely choose them again, anytime!
P.S.: We love our Relic shirts ;)

I rent from rent a relic every time I need to take a business trip for Calflora. They are the least expensive and most efficient — no wait, ever. Todd and Rich are organized and run an excellent business.

Highly Recommended Car Rental in the Bay Area!
I had a great experience with this car rental service in the Bay Area! Whether you’re looking for a short-term rental for a quick trip or a long-term option, their pricing is very affordable compared to other companies in the area. No hidden fees, no last-minute surprises—just honest, budget-friendly rates that really help when you’re trying to keep costs low.
What truly sets them apart is the friendly and professional staff. They were helpful throughout the entire process—quick to respond, transparent, and genuinely pleasant to work with. From booking to return, everything went smoothly.
If you’re in or around the Bay Area and need a reliable car rental without breaking the bank, I would definitely recommend giving them a try. I’m already considering them again for my next trip!

I think I've been going to this place for about 25+ years for my car rental needs. Not all of them but most of them. I've had two periods in my life where I needed long-term rentals (in the middle of one now) and they offer a great price and great cars for it. Right now they have a bunch of Toyota Corollas that I have been using, which are well maintained and if there's ever a problem, you give them a call. They give you another car with almost now waiting. It's about as low drama a place as you can ever do business with. And this is why they get my very rare five star review.
Bonus points for easy freeway access, proximity to coffee and other shopping.

Cars are clean and run very well, staff is friendly and personable, and the prices are great. I have a hard time with the bajillion distractions in newer cars so I really appreciate being able to rent something that just drives. Also appreciate the free local pickup/drop off and silly deals that you only get by email. RAR saves me the headache of price-shopping for rentals and having to deal with corporate car rental companies.

Rent a Relic has been such a blessing to have, especially as a student. I've rented cars twice now and both times they have been incredibly kind, accommodating, responsive, flexible, and thoughtful with their service and I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone who needs a rental.
Prices are affordable especially when compared to quotes I've gotten from the major rental companies, and the cars are clean so it's comfortable to drive.

It's such a friendly place. I called and the prices are extremely reasonable. They have a parking lot full of Camrys and Siennas. They must like Toyota as much I do. I like the cute dinosaur on wheels which is their mascot. Notary is available here too. I hope to have my mom rent a Sienna for an upcoming road trip where with the Kia Soul we will just need more room, since I don't drive anymore. (I should get my license reinstated and I should have plead not guilty or waited in jail a little longer and so my sentence would have reduced. I really wasn't guilty. See my review for Phoenix.) I can say this because I don't use my real name.

Excellent experience. They were kind and professional and gave me rides to and from my mechanic. They were recommended by both my garage and a professional group I am a part of and I don't think I'll ever rent from anywhere else.

Rent-A-Relic does it right! The minivan we took to the airport was spotless and spacious, with plenty of room for more luggage than we actually brought (approximately four carry-ons and four backpacks). Nick provided excellent service, and I would definitely recommend this team and their vehicles to anyone in the local area!
