Local tips

  • Book your GoCar in advance to secure your preferred time slot, especially during peak tourist seasons.
  • Ensure to charge your phone before the tour, as the GPS needs power, and you might want to take photos along the way.
  • Consider opting for a full-day rental if you wish to explore beyond the main attractions; the city has many hidden gems.
  • Wear comfortable clothing and bring sunglasses; you'll enjoy the open-air experience much more!
  • Don't forget to check the weather forecast and dress accordingly, as San Francisco can be chilly and windy, especially near the waterfront.
