FAQ: Conduzir na San Francisco

Do I need a car in San Francisco?

No, the city itself is well served by Muni buses, BART, cable cars, and rideshares. A car is actually a liability due to break-ins and scarce parking. Rent a car only for day trips to Napa, Muir Woods, or along the coast.

How bad are car break-ins in San Francisco?

Very bad - San Francisco averages over 25,000 car break-ins per year. Never leave anything visible in your car, including bags, chargers, or even coins. Rental cars are specifically targeted. Use hotel parking or staffed garages.

How do I park on San Francisco's hills?

By law, you must curb your wheels: facing downhill, turn wheels toward the curb; facing uphill, turn wheels away from the curb. Always set the parking brake and leave an automatic in Park or a manual in gear. Failure to curb wheels is a ticketable offense.

Is driving across the Golden Gate Bridge difficult?

The bridge itself is straightforward, but fog can reduce visibility to near zero. Tolls are electronic only (no cash) - FasTrak or pay online within 48 hours. Southbound into SF is tolled; northbound is free.
