How to Get Around & Other FAQS

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

No! There is enough public transit/rideshare options that a car is not necessary. But if you prefer to rent a car (and have a DD!), consider Getaround and Turo for hourly rentals. These are both car-sharing apps and are more affordable than traditional car rental agencies. Pick-up and drop-off is super easy, and you can rent only for the time you need!

Question

How should I get to the venue if I'm staying in San Francisco?

Answer

If you're staying in SF, it's probably easiest to take Uber/Lyft (around $50) or drive. However, if you have the time, you can also taking the 2:05pm Ferry to Richmond, as this provides gorgeous views of the Bay along the way (https://sanfranciscobayferry.com/richmond-ferry-route). From there, it's a 15 minute Uber/Lyft to Rigger's Loft. While the ferry does get you to Richmond on the earlier side (2:45pm), the Richmond Ferry Terminal has a few things to see, including several coffee shops and a museum dedicated to Rosie the Riveter (https://www.nps.gov/rori/index.htm).
