Useful Information
Drive over the Golden Gate Bridge!
As you explore the city at your own pace, select destinations from the GPS by touch or voice. Your state-of-the-art GPS is pre-loaded with 40 of San Francisco's top locations, and has text and voice commands available in more than 20 languages. If you have any other specific sites you want to visit, you can program them into the GPS, as well.
Explore Chinatown, wind down Lombard Street, stop by the Presidio and spend time at the San Francisco Zoo. Catch sweeping views from Mission Dolores Park or Coit Tower, get your feet wet at Ocean Beach and get a peak at hippie culture at Haight-Ashbury -- you can even cross the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and cross the Bay Bridge to Treasure Island!
You can stop wherever you want to take photos, soak up the views or even enjoy a picnic with your provided picnic basket.
Your car is equipped with a remote-controlled high-definition video camera with a 170-degree view. The camera is portable, so you can take it with you if you'd like to walk around at any of the locations, and with the remote control, your entire group can be in the film!
At the end of your tour, you’ll be given a memory card with the recording of your entire San Francisco adventure to watch at home!

Awesome experience! Everyone loved the beetle! Make sure you're a confident driver as they aren't the easiest cars to drive! If you wanna do something different - this is it! (Make sure you phone to arrange a pick up time as the owner isnt always on location)

We rented he VW convertible for 5 hours and drove over the Golden Gate bridge to Sausalito and back. We also visited a few sites in San Francisco. The day was perfect and we had a wonderful time. The VW was completely restored and ran like a top. We attracted a lot of attention driving the antique. The gentlyman who rented us the car was most helpful. He provided a GPS with all the popular sites in San Francisco so getting around was easy. He also provided a video camera that mounted on the outside of the windshield and was capable of recording up to 4 hours of video. At the end of the rental he gave us the memory card from the camera to take with us.
If we return to San Francisco, we would definitely consider renting the bug again.
