Driving in San Francisco – Tips and Recommendations 

Driving in San Francisco can be an exciting experience, but it comes with a few challenges. Here are some key tips:

  • Traffic: Traffic can be heavy, especially during rush hours (7:30-9:30 AM and 4:30-7:00 PM). Use a navigation app to find alternate routes and avoid congestion.
  • Parking: Finding parking downtown can be difficult and expensive. Consider using public transportation for inner-city travel and save your rental car for trips beyond the city center.
  • Toll Roads: Be aware of toll bridges in the Bay Area, including the Golden Gate Bridge. Check with our rental desk for payment options such as FasTrak.
  • Street Parking: Pay attention to parking regulations and signs to avoid fines. Use parking apps to find available spaces near major attractions.
