Why Rent With Us
Why people book with us instead of the counter
We are a local operator in a military town, not an airport franchise. That changes how the whole thing works.
How It Works
Three steps and you are driving
No paperwork marathon, no upsell ambush.
What We Run
The Five Ways to Rent
Different trips need different setups.
We bring the vehicle to you anywhere we serve in the San Antonio area.

Where We Go
Serving San Antonio, JBSA and SAT
We are based in the San Antonio metro and we work the whole city, including the Joint Base San Antonio community — where short-notice schedules and PCS timelines are the normal case rather than the exception.
Flying in? We handle pickup and delivery at San Antonio International Airport. Your vehicle meets you instead of a shuttle taking you to a counter.
Why we work this city
This is a military town and this is a military business. It is owned and run by people who served, and the JBSA community is who it was built for.
- Lackland
- Randolph
- Fort Sam Houston
Not sure we reach your address? Ask us — we would rather answer the question than have you guess.

How We Operate
What you can count on
No gimmicks, and no fine print you find out about later.
- Veteran Owned and Operated

- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force and Coast Guard. Active duty, Guard, Reserve, retired and families.
- Straightforward Pricing
- You see the terms before you book, not at the counter with your bags on the floor.

- We come to you across the San Antonio area, including the terminal at SAT.
- Direct Human Support
- Reach us and you get someone local who can make a decision about your rental.
In renters’ words
Rated 5 out of 5
“The car was completely as described. It was in excellent mechanical and visual shape. It was perfect for our family of four to use around San Antonio for our trip!”

“Car was of great quality and everything we needed! Johnny was also a fantastic host!”
KaitlinToyota Prius 2024 · Rated 5 out of 5
“Johnny made picking up and delivering the Toyota very easy with detailed instructions! The vehicle was spotless on both the exterior and interior. The size of the vehicle was perfect for my sister in law and I to navigate through Hill Country with our luggage! Also, my sister-in-law is 6’ tall and leg space was adequate for her. I would rent this vehicle from Johnny again, as he was responsive and nice to communicate with.”

Common Questions
The short version
Full details live on the rental requirements page.
Do you deliver the vehicle to me?
Yes. Delivery is one of the main reasons people book with us instead of a counter. We deliver across the San Antonio area, including to San Antonio International Airport. When you book, give us the address, hotel or terminal, and we confirm the exact meeting spot before your pickup time. If you would rather come to us, that works too.
Can I get a vehicle at San Antonio International Airport (SAT)?
Yes. We handle both pickup and delivery at SAT. Instead of taking a shuttle to a rental center and waiting in line, you send us your arrival details and we coordinate the handoff. Returns work the same way, so you can hand the vehicle back near the terminal on your way out. Send flight details with your booking so we can plan the timing around them.
Is Military City Rentals actually veteran owned?
Yes. We are owned and operated by people who served, and we rent to all six branches — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force and Coast Guard — plus veterans, retirees and military families. Practically, that means we are built for how military travel actually runs: PCS arrivals with no vehicle yet, TDY windows that shift, and plans that change on short notice.
What insurance do I need to rent from you?
You need verifiable comprehensive and collision coverage that transfers to a rental vehicle. Many personal auto policies do, and some credit cards include rental coverage as a card benefit when you pay with that card — both are worth two minutes to confirm before you add anything you may already have. If your policy is liability-only, or you do not have one, that is not a refusal: CDW and SLI coverage are offered when you make the reservation.
Is there a minimum age, and what do I need to bring?
Twenty-one, on every channel, and from 21 to 24 a young renter fee of $20 a day applies on top of the rate. Bring a current driver’s license and a payment card in your own name — Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover, debit included — plus a refundable deposit of $250 to $400 set by the vehicle class. All of it is confirmed with you before a booking is final.
