San Francisco is the perfect city to catch all the sites, landmarks, colorful neighborhoods, and beautiful coastline in the driver's seat of a convertible car. San Francisco convertible car rentals can be found around the city center and airport, making it easy to pick up and drop off before and after your “wind in the hair” vacation.
San Francisco International Airport is about 13 miles from the city center. This can be a great introduction to the city if you rent a convertible from one of the car rental companies at the airport. To get to the car rental center, you can board the AirTrain Blue Line, a free shuttle service offered twenty-four hours a day. Once you have arrived at the SFO rental car center you will have the choice of 9 rental companies, including Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, and National, to name a few.
Of course, you want to have a few options for convertibles, and some of the San Francisco convertible car rentals include those from Ford, BMW, and Chevrolet. Chevrolet and Ford's convertibles have the option of standard or automatic transmission, whereas the BMW convertible is generally a standard transmission.
Driving in San Francisco can be an adventure, but there are some things you should be aware of to make sure you have a great time in your convertible. First, street signs are your friend. They will let you know if a street is one-way or if there are bus lanes. Next, those famous hills can be tricky, so a rule of thumb when driving is to point your tires toward the curb when parking downhill and away from the curb when parking uphill. Keep in mind that a little boost of gas is necessary to climb up the hills and that you should always look out for bicyclists.
Book your convertible car hire in San Francisco at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
January is typically the cheapest month to hire a convertible car in San Francisco, with prices around AED 66 per day. The most expensive month is July, with average prices of AED 103 per day.

What is the most reliable convertible to rent in San Francisco?
San Francisco convertible car rentals may have many options in brands and types, but when cruising through the streets of San Fran, it’s best to go with what you’re comfortable with. Mainly, if you have never driven a standard transmission vehicle, or if it's been a long time, you might want to stick with an automatic convertible. Especially when cruising up and down the hills, you’ll want to feel confident in your driving skills. Some popular brands of convertibles to drive around San Francisco are Ford and Camaro and both are available in automatic and manual transmissions.
Where are the best places to park convertibles in San Francisco?
San Francisco is notorious for difficult parking. Meters can be hard to come by, and parking on the street can be tricky as there are different times in the day when you can park and other times you can’t, as well as tow-away zones, so always look out for signs. A pretty good option for parking your convertible safely is finding a parking garage, although they aren’t always the cheapest option. If you are a lucky driver and find a spot on the street, even if it's blocks away from your destination, celebrate your luck but make sure to take all your valuables with you and remember where you parked.

Agent was great at desk. When we got to car pick up we were offered an Audi SUV. Even though it was only a year old it was quite used. Also very uncomfortable seats to drive in. We drove a lot and not suitable for it. Also no charger for phones unless you had an older one. Radio not that wonderful either. Had rented and paid for a luxury vehicle that one had it in name only. Not pleased.

I was not given a damage slip or told to look at the damage ahead of time on my rental car. I was told (through an email) that a scratch was there that had not been there before my rental. I drove the car the entire time with the exception of valets at my hotel and did not cause damage. Because I did not get to inspect it and was not given a form to do so, I do not have evidence that something happened under my watch and just have to take their word. I also would have liked them to tell me when I turned the car in, as I did not have a chance to see what they are saying I did. It all feels pretty unfair. This could have been resolved if they had given me a damage form ahead of time.

Horrible . We booked online after our United flight was cancelled. We were greeted by an Avis rep saying " I'm going home and we have no cars" . So we went to the next rep after standing in another line- he said the only cars were electric... not what we booked and wouldn't work for the 300 mile drive we were going to take. It was after midnight. Finally , he forced us to upgrade by asking for more money and gave us a car. The lot was full of cars when we went outside to leave. He lied to us and gave us an inferior car for more money

We were misled into taking an EV even though we had booked a gasoline car. And this is inspite of them knowing we would be traveling from SF to LA as car drop was at LA. We also pointed out our route including Yosemite. They told us we needn't worry as the car goes from 0-80% charging in 15 min on a fast charger. We struggled across the 7 days as charging was slow and the range on full charge was only 140 miles on the Subaru. Very unethical and misleading team at this branch.

A smooth experience. When I didn't like the car and asked for a replacement, they didn't express any disapproval — instead, they supported me and suggested an another car which was great. The only drawback was nearly 40min wait in the line.
