Airport – Oakland International Airport

Many travelers like this airport because it’s small and relatively easy to get in and out of but for me it’s not my favorite because it requires a bus shuttle to get to the rental car center. Depending on the time of day this can easily add an extra half hour to your day. I usually try to avoid airports that have off-site rental car centers that require a shuttle bus. So my airport ratings are a bit biased.

  • Rental Cars: off-site rental car center that requires a shuttle
  • Airport Security: TSA-Precheck here is pretty fast
  • Primary Airlines: Southwest Airlines
