We did the early bird 3 hour tour. It was so fun and so amazing. We saw so many landmarks. Highly recommend this, but do longer to really take in everything! Super easy to drive and felt very safe. Such a fun way to see the city! Drive down Lombard St!

One of the most unique experiences I've had travelling! Been to a lot of cities, all offering unique experiences but this was super memorable. The team at GoCar are incredibly friendly, never felt like I was being upsold. The car is pretty easy to drive. They have an in car navigation system super easy to use and the car talks to you as you pass major points of interest! How cool! We learned so much and saw the majority of SF in one afternoon.

I rented a GoCar for my birthday in San Francisco. Less than a mile away from the GoCar rental facility, the car that my sister and I were in shut off. We couldn't get it to start back up. It was a horrible experience because we stopped (involuntarily) at the corner of a light. The car was blocking traffic and city buses, so we had to push it out the way. Customer service was very lacking when I called for help.
They eventually brought us a 2nd GoCar, but stopping cost us over 30 minutes. Additionally, the different routes feel a bit like a purposeful set up. The GPS doesn't tell you which way to turn to stay in the route you chose. I would recommend writing down those specific directions because it's really easy to forget. My group and I ended up getting confused, and we took the wrong route back. This caused us to be charged for a lot more time. Overall, the cars are fun, but I don't think the experience was worth the price I paid especially considering the car breaking down.

Great experience! We rented the V car (it's the long matte black one that can go on the highway) for the 3 hour tour across the golden gate bridge to Sausalito. What an absolute blast! If you can spare a little extra $$, it's well worth it! We drove across the bridge, had lunch on the water in Sausalito, and drove back across the bridge and then down the famous Lombard street. GPS navigation was perfect and we never got lost. Not to mention the car itself is very fast and fun to drive. If we come back to SF, we will 100% do it again!

Loved this! We did the half trip which was 1 1/2 hours and paid $150. It was worth every penny! Always wanted to do it. They have a GPS tablet to guide you and tell you about landmarks thru your journey!

The tours are incredibly fun. You can choose different detours to fit the areas you want to experience. We chose a 4 hour tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend paying the extra $10 to get a tablet sized GPS unit to ensure you're going the right way. The cars themselves are pretty comfortable and go up to about 65mph although you will likely go around 20 to 35 majority of the tour. We used the gas side by side car but they do that an all electric model that looks alot not comfortable. You have to try a tour of you're in town. It will not disappoint.
