Exploring San Francisco by car

With some of the most iconic sights in the world, you’re sure to never run out of things to do in San Francisco. Visit the famous Golden Gate Bridge or see a unique side of the city by heading to Alcatraz Island which used to be home to a famous prison. If you want to spend some time in nature, drive about 30 minutes north to Muir Woods National Monument or plan a San Francisco road trip.

Driving in California can be a delight when you are cruising along a coastal highway, but it can also be frustrating if you are caught in the infamous traffic jams or discover an unexpected toll road. With SIXT, you can add prepaid tolls to your rental car, to avoid this issue. However, no matter where in this vast state you are driving, it’s always good to be aware of the driving rules and regulations, so check out our guide.

We had reserved a small SUV and upon arrival on a weekday at 11 AM. There was quite a long lineup and it took almost 1 hour. Wait before we got to talk to the customer service rep. Our service guy named Kian? was very friendly and knowledgable and was able to get us a different car quickly. That is slightly lower price. Our BMW three series was clean and in very good condition. Aside from the long wait, it was considered a quick and pleasant rental process.
