Driving in San Francisco: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You'll need a driver's license, passport, and a credit card to rent a car in San Francisco.
Most visitors can use their regular driver's license. If it isn't in English, bring an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check that your ID matches your booking and payment card.
Navigating city driving
San Francisco has steep hills, one-way streets, and busy intersections.
Navigation apps help you avoid the steepest routes and guide you through the city's grid. Traffic slows near Union Square and the Embarcadero, especially during peak hours.
Tolls, emissions zones, and charges
Several bridges around San Francisco have tolls.
Tolls are collected electronically and billed to your rental car. The city has no emissions zones, and driving is free apart from parking fees.
Parking your car in San Francisco
Parking is limited in central areas, so parking lots are easiest.
Street spaces fill quickly near major attractions. Multi-story parking garages offer safer options around downtown and Fisherman's Wharf. Always check signs, as time limits and fees vary.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in San Francisco are widespread.
Gas stations are located on main roads and in suburbs. The city has many chargers, including fast options in parking lots. Apps like PlugShare help you find available chargers.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are steady, but hills and traffic need extra attention.
Use low gear on steep descents and take care at four-way stops. Traffic can be heavy downtown, and cable car crossings require caution. Keep speeds steady and watch for quick lane changes.
