Top tips for renting a car in Silicon Valley

  • Depending on your itinerary in Silicon Valley, consider your rental car's transmission type. Silicon Valley region features many hilly areas, so renting a car with automatic transmission will be easier when navigating hills. Keep in mind that a car with automatic transmission will require you to gain enough speed to manage climbing a hilly area, whereas a car with manual transmission requires more effort to maintain momentum, change gears, and still observe the road signs lining steep roads.
  • Parking is very accessible in the Silicon Valley region; you’ll find plenty of parking options. The area has street parking, metered parking, parking lots, and parking garages. If you intend to park in the hilly areas, remember to park the car facing uphill. We recommend turning the wheels away from the curb if the vehicle is facing uphill. When facing downhill, turn the wheels in the direction of the curb to stop the car from hurtling down the hill in case of brake failure.
  • When driving in the Silicon Valley region, remember to follow the posted speed limits. The general speed limit on multi-lane roads is 65 to 70 mph, while on single-lane roads, the limit is 55 mph. We recommend staying always within the speed limit because they are enforced by aircraft. In case of speeding, the aircraft radios police cars, which then pull you over. Speed-detecting roadside cameras are also vigilant, so avoid speeding at all costs.
  • Drivers in Silicon Valley must ensure that all occupants of the car are wearing seat belts. If you are riding with children under eight years old, they must be in booster seats or car seats in the rear of the car. Infants and toddlers under two years old should be in rear-facing safety seats, unless they are over 40 pounds and taller than 40 inches.

FAQs about renting a car in Silicon Valley

  • Should I rent a car in Silicon Valley?

    A car rental is the most convenient means of exploring Silicon Valley. Besides the opportunity to explore the area like a local, you get to discover more of Silicon Valley in a car, like the Chocolate Garage in Palo Alto, Alviso, and California's Great America.

  • What is driving like in Silicon Valley?

    Driving in the Silicon Valley region is easy because there are plenty of street signs indicating one-way streets, restricted lanes, and left-hand turn lanes. Before starting your journey, map out a route to your destination. In urban areas, plan alternate routes, since roads tend to be busier—highways can get especially congested. Both a digital map and printed map are ideal for safe navigation. Check the mirrors of the rental car frequently to keep an eye out for cyclists. Always yield to pedestrians because they have the right of way. Depending on the season, watch for rain, fog, or heavy winds that might require you to drive slower. In case of poor weather, always turn the headlights on for clear visibility. When changing lanes, leave some space between you and the vehicle ahead. Always check mirrors before changing lanes. Remember to keep your speed constant and use turn signals to indicate changing lanes.
