GoCar GPS-Guided Tours ®
The Original Storytelling Car
If you want the ultimate sightseeing experience then look no further than renting a GoCar, the GPS guided, talking tour car. Originally offering tours of San Francisco, you can now also take tours of San Diego and Miami and now open in Barcelona and Lisbon.
It's an exciting way to explore and see the sights. Travelling in the two seater GoCar, you'll be self guided to all the fun and interesting things to do and see. So what are you waiting for?
GoCar's Daytona yellow three-wheeler cars feature a GPS driven audio tour that takes driver and passenger on a zippy tour of the city's famous landmarks providing clear directions and running commentary as you drive.
GoCar Rentals is the brainchild of mechanical engineer, Nathan Withrington. In February 2003 he pin-pointed an outstanding opportunity to offer a unique service to the San Francisco tourist industry. Working closely with friend Alasdair Clements, Withrington started researching the idea of developing a unique, automobile based, audio tour driven by GPS.
The only tour of its kind in the nation, custom narration driven by GPS (Global Positioning System), takes you on an unforgettable journey around the city. In San Francisco, from the majesty of the Golden Gate Bridge to the natural drama of Ocean Beach, the GoCar tour and directions are clear, concise, informative and all-together a unique experience for tourists and locals alike.
Q: What is a GoCAR?
A: GoCAR is the world's first computer guided storytelling car. The clever talking car navigates for you, but that's not all. As you drive, it points out the sights and tells you the stories that bring San Francisco to life.
Q: How long does the tour take?
A: The tour can take as long as you like, and that is the whole point. You go at your own pace, not the pace set by a tour bus operator. You can complete the tour in as little as two hours or if you have the time make it a long and leisurely 10 hour trip. It all depends on which detours you choose to take or which sights you wish to stop and explore.
