Cheap San Francisco Hire Car & Car Rentals

San Francisco’s morning fog is merely a teasing curtain to build anticipation. When it burns off in the afternoon, this lovely city of 43 hills is revealed.

The “City by the Bay" still feels like the optimistic place that brought the first miners to its shores during the Gold Rush, but it’s got heaps of inner grit to go along with that. As you roll up and down the city’s historic streets in your San Francisco car hire (brought to you by Wotif), the fog won’t be able to hide all the fun you’re going to have.

Go Cruising

Before you rev your San Francisco car rental to life, make sure to grab a light jacket. The city exists within a microclimate, and the temperature can jump or drop rapidly.

First up, punch your tourist card at Fisherman’s Wharf, where entertainers will try to hold your attention. This is a prime people-watching spot and the perfect place to get your first close-up views of the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the seven modern wonders of the world.

Feeling a little naughty? Get some rest in your San Francisco accommodation, then hop aboard a ferry and take a stroll through the notorious Alcatraz Prison. This place once held some of the country’s most famous criminals.

After you’ve gotten in touch with your inner jailbird, make your escape and enjoy your freedom at any one of San Francisco’s amazing seafood restaurants.

Road Trip!

It would be easy to spend your entire San Francisco holiday within the confines of this fascinating city, but if your car has a full tank of petrol, why not hit the open road? Visit the hippie paradise of Berkeley, just 20km away.

If you’d rather talk vintage wines over vintage clothing, head 112km north and enjoy Napa Valley, the country’s top wine destination.

Need a little cash for more wine tastings or that seaweed facial? No need to start your own performance act on Fisherman’s Wharf (though your dance moves are killer). Use Wotif to steal amazing deals on flights, hotels and car hire in San Francisco. We won’t put you into Alcatraz, we swear!
