Somehow I mistakenly gave this business a bad review. It was meant for Enterprise rentals. I have no knowledge of this place, and can't seem to remove my review, so please disregard. Apologies. Rusting R.

They are horrible in communication with you and then threaten to report your car as stolen. Plus give you cars your didn't order. I was paying over $500 a month for a car with no cruise control and dents.

Awesome car rental business! I have been renting a car from this business since March and I am very happy with the car and their customer service. Plus their rates are a huge plus. There are no hidden or added fees and the car I rented was in really good condition.
Most importantly I have been kindly helped by both Emil and Diane. They both are courteous and professional. I strongly recommend San Diego Car Rentals and I plan on using them again and again. Ken G.

Emil and Diana are great! Emil has kept touch and gives great advice. They have the best deals in the state. Their deals are better than any service out there. Even better than those places that has cheap in their name. Their cars are pretty good and they ensure to keep steady communication with their customers. I'm glad that I ran across this company because they are a great business and actually care about their customers and the community. They truly have great prices and great cars. The offer regular vehicles and premium which are around 2018 Base models.
They get a great amount of business because of their fair deals. I highly recommend that you book a reservation if you are in need of a vehicle because you can also rent monthly. They will be sure to help you. Check them out!

HANDS-DOWN the best car rental service in San Diego. I've rented from here twice now and there has never been any issues. Emil is a fantastic person and he responds quickly. I have never experienced any hidden fees, which every other car rental place tries to screw me over with. Emil is flexible and tries to work with his customers so that he can provide them with whatever needs they have. What you see is what you get!
10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I needed time to make a decision before purchasing my next car. I contacted San Diego Car Rental. I rented a car from them for a month. They were easy and friendly to work with. Renting and returning was simple and easy. I highly recommend.

This place is a Godsend! Rental car prices have skyrocketed. I needed reliable, reasonably priced transportation for a month in San Diego. I got a nice car, a little older, not flashy, for a great price. On arrival, staff were professional and got me on my way fast. Highly recommend! Don J.

These guys are awsome. This is my second time getting a rental from them. Monthly rental rates are affordable, and the office works with you if you need a little time with money for the next month. They are also quick to get you back on the road if you have any problems at all. I rented a car for over 3 months. In that time i needed the battery swapped out once. And then there was a leak another time, and I needed brakes changed another time. They got a tow out to me and gave me a loaner car until they fixed the car. Its great not having to worry about maintenance. All I had to do was call and say what was wrong and they handled it or sent me to the shop for maintenance. Im almost sad that my car is done being repaired because I will miss the customer service. I know i will use them again tho. Thaks guys for being so awsome.!!
