Who hails: checked today. How-to details checked 7 days ago. A ride is about 30 minutes, not a car for the day. A few hops inside the geofence can beat a rental day once parking and charging count. Many hops and the rental wins. Each app shows its price before you confirm. Waymo: Price shown in app. None of these are ours to promise.
A rental wins Napa and Sonoma days, Monterey, and anything toward Tahoe.
Group, kids, pets, airport
Pets · Service animals ride with every operator here. Pets do not. Zoox also turns away emotional support animals.
NOT the terminal curb. Take the AirTrain to the Rental Car Center (about 15 minutes) or the Grand Hyatt (about 10) and meet the Waymo there. Access is still limited to some riders.

How we get this

Where the geofence ends
The city and Peninsula are covered. The North Bay, the coast past Half Moon Bay and everything toward the Sierra are not.
What a ride costs
How-to details checked 7 days ago. Waymo: Price shown in app. The app quote wins.
Where a rental still wins
Napa and Sonoma days, Monterey, and anything toward Tahoe.
Who rides where was checked Oct 29 against the operators' own city lists. Pickup spots, ages, seats and airport rules were read by hand from their help pages on . Service areas and airport rules change, so the operator's app has the final word.
How we get this
We read Waymo, Tesla, Zoox and Uber's own pages and write down only what they say, with the day we read them. A city moves from coming soon to live here when the operator's own list changes, not before.
