San Francisco - Road Trip Ideas
Pack your bags, grab the keys, and try not to leave your heart behind as you set off on a road trip from sensational San Francisco. The only tough choice is where to go. Maybe you’ll sip your way around the Napa Valley. Maybe you’ll drive from San Francisco to Yosemite for jaw-dropping scenery and all the adrenaline-activating activities your heart can handle. Whatever your plans, book your airport pick up, and cruise your way across the country. Classy convertibles, vast vans, and luxury car rental, it’s all yours with Expedia, from the moment you touch down in the Golden City.
San Francisco to Los Angeles
Carve a path across California in a one-way car rental from San Francisco to Los Angeles and you can hop home on a flight in just 90 minutes. The fast drive down takes around 6 hours, but if you take the San Francisco to Los Angeles coastal drive, you’re looking at around 8 hours behind the wheel—and if you do, a convertible car rental is a must. There’s nothing like feeling the Cali sun on your skin and ocean breeze in your hair. Whatever your wagon, road trips when you rent a car from SF to LA take some beating. All the scenery is here, from the red iron of the bridge to sunny Santa Cruz, the seals of San Simeon and the luminous lights of La La Land.
San Francisco to San Diego
The San Francisco to San Diego drive time can take as little as 8 hours—but you’ll want to take your time. Plot a meander along the Pacific Highway to stop and snap, sip and maybe even sleep along the way. The Pacific Highway is one of the U, S of A’s most stunning routes, maybe even leaving Route 66 in the shade. Before the engine is warm, you’re among the beauty of San Jose and Santa Cruz, with Pismo Beach and Malibu before you reach the cusp of Mexico. And you can always make up time with a one-way car rental from San Francisco to San Diego—by flying back in just 1 hour 35 mins.
