Itinerary

10 min

The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. In addition to hosting art exhibitions, it remains a popular attraction for tourists and locals.

20 min

Certainly the most-photographed bridge in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge is synonymous with San Francisco. Drive up to the viewing area, or the foot of the bridge at Fort Point, to take pictures. You can take even better pictures at Baker Beach, a few minutes drive past the bridge!

20 min

Nothing beats zooming down Lombard Street, San Francisco's "Crookedest Street" in your GoCar at the end of your tour. This is a great way to experience one of San Francisco's most iconic streets.

Drive through San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, passing the bustling Crab Shacks, Bakeries and Curio Shops on your way to Golden Gate Bridge. Don't forget to wave to the other visitors!

10 min

Look for sand dollars in the fog and take photos of Seal Rock as it juts out of the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Beach.

15 min

Some of the most beautiful views of San Francisco Bay are in the Presidio, a decommissioned military base that boasts beautiful architecture, a War Memorial, the Disney Museum and even a bowling alley! This area is just a 15 minute drive from Fisherman's Wharf, but feels like another world!

10 min

At the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point is both an excellent photo spot for the bridge and a fascinating monument to Gold Rush -era San Francisco.

Crissy Field is where San Franciscan's exercise and play. Wave to runners, soccer players and dog walkers as you zoom past beautiful views of the Bay on your way to the Golden Gate Bridge.

60 min

A natural and cultural center, Golden Gate Park spans almost half the length of San Francisco, and is home to the Conservatory of Flowers, California Academy of Sciences, deYoung Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, Stow Lake and the Buffalo Paddock.

View the Rodin Sculpture "The Thinker" outside the beautiful Legion f Honor Museum.

15 min

Sutro Baths are all that remains of what was once a popular SF natatorium that was destroyed in a fire. A hauntingly beautiful spot to view the North Pacific Ocean.

10 min

Visit Alamo Square and the "Full House" House

10 min

Visit Coit Tower and its Beautiful Diego Rivera Murals

10 min

Visit the tallest point of the city and see sweeping vistas of San Francisco

  • On the day of rental, a $500 security deposit will be held on the customer’s credit card. If a CDW or SLI insurance plan is selected, a $300 security deposit will be held. The security deposit is released when the GoCar is returned.
  • Absolutely not! If there is a San Francisco sight you wish to see but is not yet included on the tour, just use the map provided to navigate your own way through the city streets. You can even put a CD in the stereo and enjoy music along the way!

  • Vehicles:
  • Are controlled with a motorcycle-style handle, throttle, and hand brakes. The 3-wheeled cars seat two and have a lockable trunk for your things. Their small size makes parking a breeze, and in San Francisco - a major bonus!

The experience was worth the price

Going through Viator made the reservation at the vendor harder to access. The optional insurance process was tedious.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you felt the experience was worth the price and enjoyed your day exploring San Francisco with GoCar. We’re sorry to hear that accessing the reservation through Viator was more difficult than expected and that the optional insurance process felt tedious. We understand how those extra steps can take away from the excitement of the experience. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’ll continue looking for ways to make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another San Francisco adventure—perhaps in one of our electric GoCars or on our popular Over the Bridge Tour with the E-Sport!

A fun, exciting multifaceted Day

This is the best way to see San Francisco!!! We had a blast. You can go at your own pace and get out to see as much as you want or just drive by. This is my second time and would do it again in a minute!!

Operator response

It’s awesome to hear this was your second time with us and that you had such a blast exploring at your own pace 🚗✨ That’s exactly the experience we love to create! We can’t wait to have you back again—next time come try our different vehicles and explore beyond the bridge! 🌉🔥

Fun way to spend the day outdoors!

My 27 yo son and I rented the go car for the day and had a blast! I was able to see so many parts of San Fran that I had never seen before. We were worried we would not be able to park to get out to see the sights. That was not a problem at all! It was a very fun way to cover a lot of ground, especially as I have a bad knee. We will do this again!

Operator response

We’re so happy to hear that you and your son had such a blast! 💛 It’s great that you got to see new parts of San Francisco and enjoy the sights comfortably — that’s exactly what makes the GoCar experience so special. We’d love to have you both back soon for another adventure and incredible views 🌉⚡

Great way to see SF

Everything about the GoCar was awesome. We did the ZeroMax all day. Saw so many things in 6 hours, the routing was great, no way we could have seen it all and ending on curvy Lombard was the best.

Operator response

That sounds like the perfect San Francisco day! 🌉 We’re thrilled you loved your GoCar ZeroMax adventure — Ending on Lombard Street is such an iconic finale! 😄 We hope to have you back for more adventures⚡🚗

Don't worry about it just do it, you won't regret it

The Go cars what a fun morning out! We did the early bird offer and went out for 3 hours. Saw all the sights and more. My husband drove, having never driven in the USA before but we soon got used to Stop signs and traffic light rules. He found the little car easy to drive and the instructions at the start were clear. Highlight of our trip was driving down Lombard Street with loads of people waving at us in the little yellow peril.

Operator response

What an awesome way to spend the morning! 🌞 We’re so glad you and your husband had a blast exploring San Francisco in our popular yellow GoCar — and driving down Lombard Street is definitely a highlight moment! 🚗💛 We will love to have you back with our popular over the bridge tours, for even more fun and photo-worthy moments! ⚡

Great way to discover San Francisco

Great experience to lean more about San Francisco. A fun day. The GPS explosions everything and have perfect directions. Unfortunately today there were a lot of clouds conveying the golden gate and twin peaks was closed but it was a great experience.

Operator response

Thanks for the kind words! We’re so happy you had a fun day exploring San Francisco and learning more about the city with our GPS guide — even if the clouds were hiding the Golden Gate and Twin Peaks this time. Hopefully next time you’ll get those iconic views in clear skies 🌤️. We’d love to see you back again, or maybe try one of our other GoCar locations in Monterey, San Diego, or Las Vegas for a whole new adventure! 🚗💛

Operator response

Wow—thank you for coming back for a second adventure with us! 🎉 We’re so glad you enjoyed the full-day tour and got to see all the spots. Big shoutout to José—we’ll make sure he hears your kind words. 🙌 Can’t wait to welcome you again for another blast around San Francisco!

Great way to see the city

The staff was extremely helpful and informative. We checked in, watched the safety/informational video and then we went on our way. The self paced, informational guided tour was very helpful, funny and accurate. It was an amazing way to see the city. The only thing I did not know from the beginning was there is also a “scavenger hunt”. If you stop and take pictures of certain areas and post them you get prizes. The automated tour guise will tell you where the item is as you pass it. FUN!

Operator response

Our team will be happy to hear your kind words! And yes — the scavenger hunt is a fun bonus we love to offer to surprise our customers on our regular tour, and we can also create personalized experiences for Group events for team building activities. We hope you’ll join us again and take full advantage of it next time. Can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure! 🚗🎯📸
