Don't let anyone suggest you get a car for the duration of a trip. It's an odd suggestion for first time visitors asking for advice as there's nowhere to park most places and parking fees at anywhere near these locations most people are talking about is astronomical.
That's not to say you can't get a car for day trips, but to be clear, flying in, renting a car at SFO and thinking you can park it at a hotel near the warf, drive everywhere and return it when you fly out couldn't be a worse idea. Needless and insanely expensive. It's very easy to get around in the city and anything outside of day trips can be done via Uber / Lyft for a song.
