This remarkable drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles is one of the most popular fly drive routes in north America, and allows you the chance to see some of the most interesting places in the state, as you expolore the beautiful coastline between these two iconic cities.

After spending a few days enjoying the many attractions of cheap car hire in San Francisco such as Fisherman's wharf, the Presidio, Golden Gate Park, and Alzatraz, head south through towns like Carmel and the wine making region of northern California towards Los Angeles.

The climate changes noticeably aas you drive south, becoming warmer and more arid, and along the sides of the road, the flora and fauna changes from vineyards to orange groves, and even tracts of desert.

Along the way to Los Angeles, which can take up to a week depending on how fast you travel you can stay in small motels or beach front hotels, and there is no supplementary charge for dropping your car hire in LA off at the end of your journey.
