San Francisco campervan hire – just a short Uber or Lyft ride from the Airports

What our customers say about our campervan rentals in San Francisco
How to Hire a Campervan With Us in San Francisco?
Hiring a campervan from Travellers Autobarn in San Francisco is super easy, and our straightforward booking process makes it possible to get on the road to adventure as soon as possible! Here’s a step by step guide on what to expect:
Step 1: Set Your Course
Head to the Travellers Autobarn website and start entering your details on the booking widget (on desktop you will find it on the right side on the screen; on mobile its right on the top of your screen). Choose your “Pick up City” and “Drop off City”, then select your “Pick up date” and “Drop off date”. Once you’ve have your travel locations & dates, click on “See Available Vehicles” to view your available options.
Step 2: Choose Your Campervan
Next, choose the campervan that best matches your travel style. Whether you’re planning a cosy couples’ getaway or an epic family adventure, we’ve got the perfect van waiting for you in San Francisco. If you’re after something compact and affordable, designed for simple road trips with a bed and kitchen setup, our Chubby Camper and Beeva Camper are great choices. The Beeva Camper even includes a built-in heater – perfect for staying warm and toasty on those cooler nights.
Need a little more room to move around? Our Hitop Campervan and Kuga Campervan offer extra space and the convenience of being able to stand inside – ideal for longer trips. Travelling with friends or family? The Hi5 Campervan is built for groups and comes with comfort and practicality in mind.
Expert Tip from Bastian – Sales & Marketing Manager, Travellers Autobarn:
“If you’re planning road trip, keep in mind that San Francisco is especially popular in August and September, which means much higher rental prices. For better availability and lower rates, consider starting your trip between April and June – it’s a fantastic time to hit the road from San Francisco.”
Step 3: Customise Your Campervan
With your campervan choice decided, it is time to decide your insurance options as well as any other extras you would like to add – like chairs, external table or our newest item – the Apple/Android Car Play Unit – which allows you to connect your phone to the unit and shows all apps from your smart phone. It’s a bit hit among our customers and only costs $30 to hire.
Step 4: Provide Your Details
Once you’ve chosen your extras, you’ll just need to provide us with your details. Fill in the booking form with your personal information – including email address & phone number, review the terms and conditions before finalising your booking, and when you’re ready, hit the “Book Now” button.
Step 5: Pay For Your Campervan Rental
Secure your booking by paying a $206 deposit for your campervan rental. We accept all major payment cards and offer secure payment options, and once your payment is processed, you’ll receive a confirmation email & confirmation SMS with all the details of your booking.
Step 6: Hit The Road
With everything booked all we have to do now is to wait until you pick-up your campervan and start your adventure! San Francisco and beyond await, so go explore, make memories, and enjoy the freedom of the open road! Enjoy your campervan rental out of San Francisco…
How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Campervan in San Francisco?
Several factors can influence the cost of renting a campervan, including the type of vehicle you choose, the length of your rental, and overall travel demand at the time.
In San Francisco, the low season runs from November to April, making it a great time to secure lower rental rates compared to the busier May to October period. Plus, the longer you rent, the more you save – our rates are automatically discounted for extended hires. You’ll enjoy better daily rates when renting for 7+, 14+, 21+ or 34+ days, compared to a short 7-day trip.
Looking for the best value? Our Minivan and Chubby Camper are the most budget-friendly options. If you’re after newer vehicles with extra comfort and features, consider the Beeva Camper, Kuga Campervan, or Hi5 Campervan – priced slightly higher to reflect their modern design and added conveniences.
And if you’re worried about mileage – don’t be! Every Travellers Autobarn rental includes unlimited miles, so you’re free to explore as far as the road takes you.

5 Tips for Driving Your Campervan or RV in San Francisco
1. Know Your Size
When it comes to maneuvering your Campervan or RV in downtown San Francisco, size really does matter. Those steep hills and narrow lanes weren’t designed with RVs in mind, so make sure you’re well-acquainted with the dimensions of your Campervan or RV before you venture forth.
2. Avoid Rush Hour
Think of San Francisco’s traffic like a lively San Francisco Giants game, with everyone scrambling for a piece of the action at the same time. Not exactly the serene vacation scene you had in mind, right?
So, here’s the inside scoop: the city’s evening commute, fondly known as the “afternoon rush,” is the most congested part of the day. It kicks into high gear around 4 pm and doesn’t let up until around 7 pm. The peak of this traffic fiesta? Between 5 pm and 6 pm.
But remember, you’re on vacation! There’s no need to join the daily grind. Plan your journey to sidestep these peak hours. After all, your Campervan or RV adventure should be more about the open road and less about brake lights.
3. Parking Smart
San Francisco streets are dotted with signs, and not just the ones advertising sourdough bread. Keep a keen eye out for Campervan or RV parking spots and pay close attention to any parking restrictions. Your Campervan or RV will thank you for it.
4. Fuel up for Adventure
Don’t let your adventure sputter to a stop. Gas stations in the city center are as rare as a quiet moment at a San Francisco Giants game, so fill up before you roll in. Or, seek out stations on the city’s fringes.
5. Take It Slow
You’re here to soak in the sights, not set a land speed record. Take it slow, enjoy the journey, and leave plenty of time for detours to national parks and San Francisco Zoo or a stay at the San Francisco RV resort. After all, the best part of travelling is the unexpected surprises along the way.
5 Must-See Destinations in San Francisco
1. The San Francisco Bay Area
There’s no better place to kick off your west coast adventure than in the heart of the city itself. With Travellers Autobarn – San Francisco branch located 19.4 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area, you’ll be exploring the bustling streets and iconic landmarks of the Bay Area in no time.
2. Kings Canyon National Park
Feel like a king and hit the road south of San Francisco to Kings Canyon National Park. This is northern California’s best-kept secret, with deep valleys, skyscraping trees, and over 800 miles of trails. And the best part? There’s an Campervan or RV park near San Francisco that’s just a stone’s throw away.
3. Yosemite National Park
No Campervan or RV adventure in California would be complete without a visit to Yosemite National Park. With its breathtaking waterfalls, grand meadows, and ancient sequoias, it’s nature’s version of a royal flush. Just don’t forget your camera!
4. Half Moon Bay
Located on the Pacific Coast, just west of downtown San Francisco and 21.3 miles from San Francisco International Airport, Half Moon Bay offers a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you’re into surfing, bird watching, or want to enjoy a sunset stroll on the beach, this place has it all.
5. Sequoia National Park
Last, but not least, make sure to visit Sequoia National Park past south San Francisco. Home to some of the largest trees on earth, this park is a testament to nature’s grandeur. It’s the perfect end to your Campervan or RV journey, reminding you why you chose San Francisco Campervan or RV rentals from Travellers Autobarn for your West Coast adventure in the first place.
