GoCar Tours - San Francisco

Richard Vidal

Rented the faster VanderHall for a morning 3 hour tour of the city. Did lots of side tours and ended up driving over 4 hours. I got about an hour free for the morning deal. Fantastic way to view the city. The staff was super friendly. The GPS guidance is excellent to keep you on route in a strange city.

We had a fantastic time in our go-car and found it an excellent way to experience the city. I only knock of a star due to the rather rubbish staff at the hiring location who didn't explain things very well and quickly disappeared instead of helping out. I had to shout a few times to get someone to explain the handbrake to me. I also think the pricing should get cheaper the longer you keep it as we ended up taking many of the suggested detours and in the end we paid quite a bit more (which if we'd pre-arranged we could have had it for the whole day for that cost).

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.

so much fun!!! Did the full day and it was 110 percent worth it. Followed the guided audio tour from 10:30 -2:30 then stopped for lunch and finished the tour around 4:30. The guided audio is so great. We also got the iPad which I'd recommend. Super easy to drive. Felt pretty safe and easy to stop off wherever you want for photos or food. The areas of the tour are pretty slow roads so we never felt pressured to go too fast and were never overwhelmed by traffic. The tour hits all the highlights of San Francisco and allows you to go off route if there is something you really want to see.
