Car Rental Tips - Best Places to Drive Your Rental Car in San Francisco

San Francisco is known for its many local attractions as it draws in millions of tourists each year from around the world. Pick up your car rental at the airport for some wonderful driving adventures that will take you to world famous locations that are all within short driving distances from San Francisco. Of course check out the many local attractions first, like the famous Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, and Alcatraz Island. And don't forget to hop aboard a cable car for a fun rolling ride.

For a wonderfully romantic car ride, Northern California's wine country offers the Sonoma and Napa Valley's where delicious fresh breads and California wines can be enjoyed along with Calistoga's baths and mineral waters, making this ride well worth the 1 hour drive from San Francisco. Napa offers their Napa Valley Wine Train for a one of a kind dining experience in a train that is considered antique today. Sonoma has wine tours and fruit stands dotted along rolling hillsides. Santa Rosa is the largest town in this area. Enjoy a bike ride or for more adventurous people, a hot air balloon ride offers a wonderful view high above the land.

If you drive south of the bay area you will discover the town of Monterey. Famous for its historic charm of Cannery Row where boutiques and shops can be enjoyed along with restaurants serving fresh seafood at the world famous Fisherman's Wharf, this drive is well worth it. Carmel is located next to Monterey for a trip to the beach. Their public beaches stretch for miles, or take the 17 mile drive to famous Pebble Beach where their downtown area offers cafes and unique shops that are all within walking distance

Four hours east of San Francisco you'll discover the World famous Yosemite National Park. This natural preserve consists of 1,170 square miles offering incredible beauty. Yosemite is open year round and features large waterfalls, glacier-carved valleys, alpine peaks, wildlife, granite domes, tall rock cliffs, lakes and meadows. Another great ride in this area is the Central Valley drive along interstate 5 through mountains that are gloriously rich in cultivation.
