Top tips for renting a car in Redwood City
A few things to know before you drive around Redwood City and the Peninsula.
Road rules
US-101 and I-280 are the main freeways — 101 runs along the bay, 280 hugs the foothills. Downtown, watch for pedestrians and cyclists, especially near the Caltrain station and Courthouse Square.
Parking
Downtown Redwood City has public garages, including structures on Jefferson Avenue and Marshall Street. Street parking is available but can fill up during business hours and events.
Toll roads
Bay Area bridges use electronic tolling. Make sure you understand how tolls work before crossing a bridge.
Gas and EV charging
Gas stations are easy to find throughout the Peninsula. EV charging is widely available, with stations at shopping centers, workplaces, and public lots. Browse electric vehicle rentals in Redwood City if you want to go electric.
Do you need a car in Redwood City?
Caltrain connects Redwood City to San Francisco and San Jose, but a rental car gives you flexibility — especially for exploring the coast, heading to the hills, or running errands across multiple Peninsula cities.
Best car types
A compact or midsize car works well for city driving and commuting. An SUV offers more space for family trips and weekend adventures. EVs are popular here and make sense for the area's charging infrastructure.
