Hire a Volkswagen Taos at San Francisco Airport with Movly

Exploring San Francisco from behind the wheel of the Volkswagen Taos feels easy, even on the city's steepest streets. Five seats and a practical boot suit couples and small families heading out to the parks and gardens around the bay. The Taos rides with a composed, settled feel that takes the edge off hill starts and tight parking manoeuvres.

Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park stretches from the Panhandle to Ocean Beach, with botanical gardens, a bison paddock and several small lakes inside its boundaries. Created from windswept sand dunes, the landscaped park provides a marked contrast with the dense street grid surrounding it. The Taos has enough boot space for a picnic kit or pushchair, useful for a longer visit with children.

Japanese Tea Garden

The Japanese Tea Garden is the oldest public Japanese garden in the United States, established for an 1894 exposition inside Golden Gate Park. A teahouse, pagodas, a drum bridge and koi ponds are arranged across compact, carefully maintained grounds. Street parking is available near the garden, and the Taos's compact dimensions are useful on the surrounding park roads.

California Academy of Sciences

The California Academy of Sciences combines a natural history museum, aquarium and planetarium under one living roof in Golden Gate Park. A four-storey rainforest dome and a large coral reef tank are among its main draws for families. The Taos's rear seats and boot make it simple to bring a pushchair along for a half-day visit.

Skyline Boulevard follows the ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains south from Highway 92, with San Francisco Bay visible to the east on clear days. The route passes through redwood groves and open grassland as it continues south from Crystal Springs Reservoir. The Taos handles the road's winding sections comfortably, making it well suited to a relaxed family outing.
