Ideal for business and personal use

Explore San Francisco with your long term car rental
Baker Beach
Enjoy the crystal-clear waves of the Pacific hitting the pristine shoreline over by Baker Beach. It’s not safe for swimming due to rip currents, big waves and an undertow, but it’s great for visiting and viewing from afar. The surrounding cliffs towering over the area spoil you with spectacular 360-degree vistas. If you’re a keen fisher, it’s a good place to cast your rod and try your luck getting a big catch from the ocean. There’s a picnic area with tables and grills, perfect for bringing the family along and enjoying a bite to eat in pleasant surroundings. You might spot some of the many rare species of plants here too, such as the Franciscan Thistle.
Yosemite National Park
Fancy a wild adventure? Yosemite National Park is around a three-hour drive away in your long term San Francisco car rental. SUV or truck rentals might be a fit for this trip, with the roomy interiors offering space to store tents, hiking gear and the like. So, if you’re into towering granite peaks, stunning glaciers and 1,200 square miles of natural beauty, pop over to Yosemite. It’s a rock climber’s haven here – you’ll be spoiled for choice as to where you want to scale. Rafting is also popular – great for enjoying the fresh waters of the area’s numerous lakes.
Golden Gate Bridge
No trip to San Fran would be complete without seeing the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
