The Marine Museum of Contemporary Art and Hamilton Field History Museum, among other stunning Novato attractions, are situated in regions with uneven terrain. As a result, consider SUVs when renting a car in Novato to go to these locations. This vehicle's strong engine makes ascending steep terrain simple. However, a compact car will be your best option if you plan to travel to areas in or close to the city center, where the majority of the roads are quite small, and parking spaces are few.
Most roads in Novato maintain a speed limit of 45 mph, thus you are reminded to drive Novato car rentals with this speed to avoid confrontations with traffic officers. However, there are some roads that have posted their own speed limits, which you need to adhere to. For instance, if you will be driving on highways and on Interstate, your speed limit should be 75 mph. Additionally, if you will be driving in residential, hospital, and school zones, you should be at a speed of 25 mph and below.
If you need a safe place to park your car rental in Novato, consider parking at 10 Main Gate Rd Parking or 1574 Armstrong Ave Parking, at a price around $1 per hour. If you are in a rush and need to park for less than 2 hours, consider parking for free at Caltrans Rowland Blvd or Century Rowland Plaza. Hotel parking is also ideal only for those staying in the hotels while at Novato.

Cons:
--instruction manual should be IN the car --remind the "pick-up" attendants to look at the person they are assisting in the moment --have "drop-off" office open on WEEKENDS. It's not fair to charge 2 extra days when the renter is late returning on a Friday AFTER 5:30 !!!10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The team in San Rafael was very accommodating getting me into a great car last minute when Enterprise could not honor my reservation. They were sure to give me my options with limited inventory so that I could make the right decision for my one way trip. Great experience all around.2.0 Poor

Nov 2020
Pros:
Pickup was quickCons:
The car only had 1/3 of a tank of gas at pickup. Very disappointing to have to get gas right away. Also, this is a way they get more money out of you by making you return it at an exact amount that is not full. The car smelled terribly of cigarette smoke and made me feel sick the whole trip. Pickup was confusing as I had 3 different addresses for drop off. I called and spoke to someone asking which address was correct and she was not much help.4.4 Mediocre

Cons:
We had to wait for a car. The car we got had the check engine light go on within the first couple of hours. Pack of gum under the seat from previous renter: how well did they clean the car?10.0 Wonderful

Aug 2018
Cons:
I was relying on having a vehicle, and at the last minute I was left with nothing. All they offered was the phone number of a rental place over 20 miles away. I will never book through carrentals.com again. Forget Kayak (the UI sucks anyway). Book direct, it’s the only way to go.One location in Novato
