Book Cheap Car Rentals at the San Francisco Airport

Looking for some California love on your next last-minute getaway? There’s an easy way to cure your Pacific Coast cravings—book a car rental from the San Francisco airport and hit the pedal to the metal on seeing what the Golden State is all about.

You’re ready to learn what that whole “west coast is best coast” thing is all about, and cruising around NorCal in your rollin’ rental is the best way to do it. There’s a lot to see in San Francisco and beyond, so you’ve got to prioritize. Steer clear of anything “meh,” and make sure you’ve got room on your itinerary for exploring the coast with the most.

Everything’s Golden (Gate)

Game Plan for San Fran: For most of the gotta-see-it touristy parts of the city, you don’t need a car. It’s pretty walkable in these parts, but you’ve got to take advantage of that sweet cheap car rental from the San Francisco airport. So make the most of it—hit up Golden Gate Park, drive over the Golden Gate Bridge, and take that iconic selfie with the bridge in the background. You can also drive over to Lombard Street and wind your way along the “most crooked street” in the world. Just don’t get too wound up over parking.

A Day Outside the Bay: The number one reason to get a San Francisco airport rental car? The bounty of day trips you can take from the city. If you head a couple of hours south, you’ll hit Monterey, where the coastal views are some of the best in the country. If you’d rather find something to wine about, you’re in luck—both Sonoma and Napa Valley are within 50 miles of San Francisco. And if you want to give your wheels a rest, Napa even has their own wine train. Choo-choose your own adventure.

Beyond the Bridge: If you want to keep your explorations a little closer to town, you’ll still find plenty to get into. When you’re seeking some small-town charm, Sausalito will give it to you in hilly greenery and bayfront views, mixed with some really good restaurants and quaint shops. Tiburon is another gem to explore, with picturesque vistas from the peninsula and a historic main street with preserved buildings from the Gold Rush. Or head south from the city to Half Moon Bay, where you’ll find everything from premium surf spots to blueberry picking.

Naughty in Nature: Grabbing a car rental from the San Francisco airport gives you another getaway advantage—transportation to see all of the nearby natural wonders. Muir Woods National Monument is across the Golden Gate and provides a ton of trails to get you immersed in nature—big time. Giant redwood trees levels of big time. If you’re up for a longer trek, Yosemite National Park is around four hours away and will provide you with a peak nature experience, from waterfalls to rock walls to blooming meadows and 750 miles of hiking trails.
