Cheap car rentals in Sunnyvale
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sunnyvale
- If you are a resident of Sunnyvale, a weekend getaway in San Jose’s top attractions is recommended. Consider getting cheap car rentals in Sunnyvale for a chance to tour such places conveniently. The trails found in Los Gatos Creek Trail are excellent for hiking and picnics, and an approximate 15-minutedrive should get you there from Sunnyvale city center. With a rental car, it would take about 14min to get to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, which is great for touring with family. Additionally, you may consider taking kids to the Children’s Fairyland in Oakland, about 42 miles away. Rental cars in Sunnyvale are ideal for touring attractions in neighboring cities.
- While driving your cheap car rentals in Sunnyvale, consider paying attention to the parking and loading zones. The city has marked curbs that indicate the type of zone. There are restricted zones that do not permit drivers to stop without a valid reason. You should not stop your rental vehicle in red, yellow, or white zones. A red zone denotes a No Parking Zone, a white zone denotes a Passenger Loading Zone, and a Yellow indicates a Loading Zone. Avoid parking at Disabled Parking Zones, marked in blue, unless you have reduced movement. Finally, you are allowed to park in a Restricted Parking Zone marked by green for only 12min between 7 am and 6 pm.
- Most Sunnyvale car rentals have a free cancellation policy. Therefore, you do not have to worry about paying extra charges for canceling your car rental booking. Additionally, most car rental companies in Sunnyvale City allow you to book in advance and complete your payment later. Therefore, you can book a rental car and pay up during pick-up. Car rental agencies in Sunnyvale aim to promote convenience to their clients through these policies.
- Sunnyvale, though it has much in the way of commuter public transportation, lacks public transportation within the city itself. Because of this, it is highly recommended that visitors rent a vehicle during their time in the city. This is especially the case if you plan on visiting some of the natural scenery outside of town, like Baylands Park, during your time in Sunnyvale.
- The Bay Area has many airports to choose from. If you are arriving at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, the rental car counters are located in the Rental Car Center across from Terminal B. At San Francisco International Airport, the rental car desks are found at the Rental Car Center located on the airport’s AirTrain Blue Line. As for Oakland International Airport, shuttle buses are available at all terminals to take passengers to the designated Rental Center.
- Due to its largely suburban nature, it is very normal to see plenty of pedestrians and bicyclists wantonly crossing roads and jaywalking in Sunnyvale. This is especially the case during the warmer parts of the year and during afternoon hours. Drivers should be cautious and on the lookout for potential jaywalkers and keep them in mind when navigating Sunnyvale.
- Rush hour in Sunnyvale, while not as bad as neighboring San Francisco, is worth avoiding at its peak hours. The morning rush hour starts around 6:00 a.m. and goes until 9:00 a.m, while the afternoon rush hour goes from around 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. As for roads to avoid during rush hour in Sunnyvale, US-101 and I-280 are the two main culprits for rush hour traffic.
- Book your rental car in Sunnyvale at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
The car was exactly what I reserved.Cons:
Reserved for pick up at Noon. Showed up at 1. Waited 45 minutes for the car as it was "cleaned." The "clean" car had empty jool cases, food wrappers and food in the cup holders and between the seats. Also the car came with an empty tank. As in the gas light was on.Sixt
