Explore California: San Francisco & Beyond by Car

From iconic bridges to coastal drives and redwood forests, San Francisco is best experienced on four wheels. Discover everything you need to know about exploring the Bay Area and beyond — with tips on where to go, what to see, and how to get there.

1. San Francisco City Guide

Start in the heart of the city — explore neighborhoods like Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, Haight-Ashbury, and the Mission District. A compact or mid-size sedan works well for navigating streets and finding parking near popular attractions.

2. Golden Gate Bridge & Marin Headlands

Drive across the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge and continue into scenic Marin County. Visit Muir Woods for towering redwoods or stop at Battery Spencer for a stunning view of the bridge.

3. Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1)

Kick off a legendary coastal drive from Half Moon Bay to Monterey or Big Sur. A convertible or SUV adds to the experience, especially during sunny spring and summer months.

4. Wine Country – Napa & Sonoma

Head north to California’s renowned wine regions. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a tasting tour, a comfortable sedan or luxury car makes the journey relaxing and convenient.

5. Alcatraz & Bay Cruises

Park your car and take a ferry ride to Alcatraz Island or enjoy a sunset cruise around the bay. Make sure to book tickets in advance and plan your route to Pier 33.

6. Yosemite National Park

Take an unforgettable road trip east to one of America’s most beautiful national parks. A rugged SUV or all-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended, especially during winter months when roads may be icy.

7. Best Time to Visit

Spring (March–May) and fall (September–October) offer mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer can be foggy (“Fogust”), while winter brings rain and mountain snow — ideal for skiing trips to Lake Tahoe.

8. Local Attractions

Enjoy world-famous spots like Lombard Street, Coit Tower, Ghirardelli Square, and Ocean Beach. Many of these attractions are spread out — making a rental car essential for full exploration.

9. Traffic Tips

San Francisco traffic can be slow during rush hours (7–10 AM and 4–7 PM). Use real-time GPS apps like Google Maps or Waze to stay updated on congestion and avoid delays.

10. Fuel & Navigation Tips

Fuel prices are higher in California, so fill up before heading into remote areas. Bring offline maps and check local advisories before driving into mountain or coastal zones.

11. Car Rental Tips

We recommend booking early, especially during major events like Fleet Week, Pride Parade, and holidays. Compare rates across providers and opt for unlimited mileage and comprehensive insurance coverage for peace of mind.
