There are some very popular two-seater cars that you can rent. MUNI is certainly not too bad but you will just have to get a map to guide you – provided of course you do not turn bus sick.

Again, some people recommend not driving a car as the traffic is very hard to get through if you are not an aggressive and highly skilled driver. It is also extremely hard to find parking if you do not have the city’s parking permit. There are also a lot of one way roads, and you can easily lose your way if you are unfamiliar to the city. Ignore if friends had told you "roll your windows up to keep all the filthy air out". San Francisco is one of the top 10 cleanest cities in the US.

Many people in San Francisco do not own cars but get around perfectly fine without any complaints. However, it must be noted that most of the local people rarely leave the city, and generally are not going from one end of town to another for sightseeing purposes. They are also aware of their way around the city and familiar with all the bus routes. Local people suggest not using a car if you can avoid it. However, if you feel uncomfortable not knowing where you are, then driving a car is the only alternative.

If you finally decide to drive or rent have a car, inside San Francisco, then take the 49 Mile Drive starting on the market. This is the best scenic drive around the city you can witness. You get to see Coit Tower, Fishermans Wharf, Union Square, the Embarcadero, the Exploratorium, the Presidio, the Golden Gate Bridge, Haight/Ashbury, the Golden Gate Park, Chinatown, etc. There are a couple of steep streets that you need a car to appreciate: the twisty one is Lombard, and the really steep one is Filbert. If you have the time, it is probably worth stopping at the Exploratorium.
