Question 1

What are the major attractions in Pleasanton?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Pleasanton is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is looking a little empty, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Close to the city center, San Francisco Premium Outlets is one attraction you might like to consider putting on your must-see list. If you still have some space on that travel schedule, Tommy T's Comedy House and Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area will keep you busy as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Pleasanton?

Accepted Answer

With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to explore all that Twin Lakes State Beach, 50 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Santa Cruz Harbor, DeLaveaga Golf Course and Santa Maria's Beach. Locals will also probably point you toward Downtown San Jose, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it's Children's Discovery Museum. (But we'd also recommend San Jose Museum of Art and The Tech Interactive.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Pleasanton?

Accepted Answer

Having your own ride in Pleasanton will give you more freedom to go wherever you want. Maybe you just can't wait to head out of town, get out on the open road, and go wherever the wind takes you. If so, grab one of our full-size or mid-size SUVs and have a look at the sandy shores in the surrounding area. If you just want to experience the bright lights of the city, something small is a good idea. Navigating heavy traffic and busy streets will be a lot easier in a compact or economy car.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Pleasanton?

Accepted Answer

There's more than enough choice when it comes to renting a car in Pleasanton. From swish SUVs with loads of space for luggage to zippy little compacts that make parking a breeze, you'll find it all here. Deciding on your perfect match depends on how much you want to spend and where you plan to go. Some road trips are just begging you to splurge on your dream ride, whereas other adventures require no more than enough space for your luggage and buddies. Which car will you be sliding behind the wheel of this trip?
