San Francisco International Airport
fog, bridges, steep city streets, coastal wind, and Bay Area toll timing
compact for San Francisco garages; SUV or minivan for Napa, Monterey, Silicon Valley, or family luggage
Fog and bridge traffic can stretch terminal-to-destination timing.

Return buffer
Add 30-60 minutes when fog, bridge traffic, airport construction, or family loading can slow the return.
