Why Rent from Us?

We have a hundreds of reasons!

But you’re busy, so here are just 10 reasons why our customers have been coming back to us again and again for nearly 30 years…

  1. Rich & Todd. Every time you call, email, or visit our office, you’ll always deal with Rich or Todd, the owners, who will make sure you have a great rental experience.

  2. Deals & discounts. We can provide great deals all the time. More so, we remember your rental requests for the next time you need a vehicle.

  3. Locally-owned and operated. We’re a one of a kind Oakland-based business. It’s always been that way since we first opened our doors in 1992.

  4. Great monthly rental options. If you need a long-term rental, you’ve come to the right place. We’re flexible on return date so customers can return early or extend. Did we mention the free car wash?

  5. Simple pricing. With our pricing: what you see is what you get. No “gotcha” costs on taxes or hidden fees here.

  6. No bait and switching. The car model discussed will be the one you receive.

  7. No corporate rigidity. We are flexible and allow easy-to-change return dates and times.

  8. Location, location, location. Our office on Telegraph Ave. is super convenient for our East Bay customers. We also provide free rides to/from nearby neighborhoods.

  9. We're not at the airport. So no airport fees. Being away from OAK airport means you avoid additional charges and fees which can really add up.

  10. You! The heart and soul of our business at Rent-A-Relic is our repeat customers, many of whom have been coming to us since we first opened our doors in 1992. We hope you’ll give us a try too!

“I’m a frequent renter at Rent-A-Relic and it’s great to be able to rent a minivan when the need arises for something larger than a car. It is convenient for picking up a Craig’s List purchase. You can even have the seats removed. Renting from Rich and Todd is so easy and hassle free. They are my go to rental spot in the East Bay.”
