Getting About Oakland

Oakland International Airport sits just five miles south of downtown, and you can use the BART train service or local bus system to get to your accommodation. Renting a vehicle offers you more flexibility and convenience for touring the greater area, though. You can find Oakland car rental agencies at the rental car center (which can be reached via shuttle from the terminal). Once you have your vehicle, it's time to explore. Near the city, there are tons of world-class sights, and with a car rental in Oakland, getting to these points of interest will be easy. Head to San Francisco to cross the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and then stroll through Muir Woods National Monument. If you want a getaway, drive to Santa Clara Valley and visit the wineries or head to Point Reyes National Seashore, where you can try to spot whales as you chill on the beach.
