There's loads of taxi's all over the downtown area. I didn't take a taxi from SFO to downtown, but I was told it's $45.
The fares in general didn't seem to be too expensive, but they do expect big tips. One driver got pissed at me cuz I gave him $11 for a $8.25 fare. After that I was tipping at least 33% and they all seemed ok with it . Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Fly into either San Francisco Intl. SFO or Oakland. Oakland is sometimes, and I stress sometimes, cheaper, less crowded, shorter lines and if someone is picking you up, they will appreciate the lack of traffic.
S.F. has this thing called MUNI. It's the public transportation system,ie, busses, trolley cars and underground trains. It's an amazing thing. Never seem to be on time, the drivers are rarely friendly and have a habit of slamming on the brakes when you are standing and narrowly avoiding cars that clearly have the right of way.
It's less expensive than a cab and will eventually get to where you need to go but I would opt for a cab given the money. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Rent a motorcycle from Dubbelju(pronounce 'W'), Eagleriders, San Jose BMW, Cruise America... It'll cost you a pretty penny at $100+/day after insurance and taxes.
There are many sites dedicated to scenic motorcycle rides so I won't repeat any of them here. Avoid main freeways during rush hour and stay on the backroads or roads along the ocean or bay is my best advice. Amazing views you will see not unlike those in Costa Rica.

Cab or walk. The only time you'll need a car is if you want to go outside the city. However, you can even take a ferry to places like Sausalito and Tiburon. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

We stayed in the Fisherman's Wharf area, & wanted to hire a car for a day, to go across the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County and Mount Tamalpais. We used the Avis office at 500 Beach Street, Suite 120, which was very close to our hotel. Tip - check time that their office closes. Top quality car & good service.

If you can afford it taxis are best. Buses are great but be prepared for getting lost a few times. Not to panic though, the bus drivers are always extremely helpful and considerate. And certainly don't rule out walking as much as possible, it's one of the most pleasant things you'll do. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
