The rental car center at SFO was located in the Central Terminal (now Terminal 2) in the early 1960s. The counters of National, Avis, and Hertz can be seen in this photograph. These companies began offering rental car services at airports during the post-World War II expansion in commercial air travel. Avis was the first company to offer car rentals at an airport, beginning with Willow Run Airport in Detroit in 1946. #SFOHistory San Francisco International Airport (SFO), terminal interior, rental car counters 1962 SFO Museum Collection 2011.032.0755
