Robotaxis in San Francisco
San Francisco has driverless from Waymo and Zoox. Their guide first. We do not book.
Waymo is citywide and Zoox rides free while permits are pending. Tesla's robotaxi page does not list San Francisco.
Waymo · Zoox (free)
NOT the terminal curb.
Who hails: checked yesterday. How-to details checked 8 days ago, may be out of date. 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.

San Francisco
Who serves riders here
The airport leg
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How-to details checked 8 days ago, may be out of date. Waymo: Price shown in app. The app quote wins.
Where a rental still wins
Napa and Sonoma days, Monterey, and anything toward Tahoe.
Who hails was checked Oct 29 against the operators' own city lists; how-to details on Oct 22. Robotaxi facts age faster than the rest of the site: geofences grow, airports change their rules, and a free pilot starts charging. The operator app is ground truth · treat this page as the map, not the territory.
