Sandy R Posted January 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Which is closest to the San Francisco cruise terminal... Budget Car Rental in the Hyatt Regency on the Embarcadero or Hertz at Fisherman's Wharf? Can we walk the distance? We're not staying in S.F. We'll be driving to Palo Alto to visit our son and daughter-in-law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melika091900 Posted January 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2012 the fishermans wharf is at the end of the embarcadero, and the hyatt is kinda in the middle, sorry i know that doesnt help, but I think that a taxi might be best to get to either, it would be alot of walking with luggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo1937 Posted January 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The Hyatt is 1.3 miles from the cruise terminal(Pier 35) and the Hertz location is about .8 mile. Don't think you would want to haul luggage that far. There is also a Budget location at 495 Bay St, which is about 1/2 mile. The Budget website mentions free pickup service so you may want to check to see what location offers that service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDMau Posted January 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I know Enterprise rental is about 1/2 mile from pier 35 and they will pick you up, we are going to use them in March. Here's a map of the area, you should be able to input Hertz or Budget to get their location. Click on birds eye at the top of the map for a better view.

Sandy R Posted January 23, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted January 23, 2012 FYI... for those interested in renting a car when disembarking a Princess cruise at the San Francisco Cruise Terminal, Budget at 495 Bay Street is definitely the closest.. 5 blocks if you want to try and walk it.

sarafinadh Posted January 23, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2012 In either case you can catch the F, a street car line that runs along the Embarcadero. North bound will get you to Hertz, south bound will get you to Budget. I would, all other things being equal, go to the hyatt and use Budget. It's easier to get on 101 south from there to head to Palo Alto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy R Posted January 23, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Can't catch a street car with luggage. I think we can walk 5 blocks with our luggage. An alternative will be for one of us to walk to Budget and get the car, while the other waits across from the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarafinadh Posted January 23, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well, I guess it depends on how much luggage. We take transit to the airport all the time with baggage ; -) One person heading to do the pick up would make sense. So would using the company that deliver/picks you up. They take you back to the rental location after picking you up and do the paper work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to avoid any walking with elderly parents. Thanks! Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
