If the flight wasn't sufficiently more expensive (I don't know if it was) it would have made sense to fly in to San Francisco, pick up the car, and later drop it off there.

Having flown in to Sacramento, and picked up the car there, the question then becomes whether the extra paid for the flight from Sacramento to San Francsico was more than the extra for dropping off the car at another location. I don't really know, but if I had to guess I would think it was, so that it would have made more sense for my company to tell me to drop it off in San Francisco.

For me it doesn't make much difference. I lose a little bit of time from making the connection. But I wasn't really going to do anything much with that time. Also I get paid for that time (but that just means I left the office earlier on Friday, if the week is mostly back at the office extra hours are normally not authorized). I did get a small amount of extra miles on United but only a small amount.
