San Francisco Mini Guide
San Francisco is an iconic city overlooking the Bay of San Francisco,
California. No one who ever visits San Francisco will forget it. Rent a car in San Francisco and wherever you go you will be confronted with beautiful views out over the Golden Gate Bridge and of Alcatraz in the bay below.
Driving is an unusual experience in San Francisco due to the steep hills which dominate the city and Lombard Street is known as the most twisted street in the world. Drivers also need to pay attention to the attractive street cars which residents use for public transport.
San Francisco has three main airports, the first is, San Francisco International, which is approximately ten miles to the south of the city itself, so hiring a rental car is the easy option and gives you a little more freedom to explore.
Oakland International is located in the East Bay and
Mineta San Jose International is around an hour to the south of the city.
