I love driving stick in San Francisco, especially on hills, but it's not for everyone. If not take the safe route in SF, and avoid certain parts of SF. It's palm sweating if you get caught more or less vertical pinned at a complete halt between two cars and you don't really think you got the torque. Timing to grab the crosswalk is a safety. It's also possible to get great down shifting, and even double clutching opportunities such as heading out Fell Street climbing up past Laguna or Buchanan pacing yourself with an entire wave of auto transmission cars. The exceptions are likely to be sports cars or other specialty vehicles, which will cost a small fortune. Unless there's some real serious reason to insist on a manual, I'd just get an automatic. (On the other hand, I have to rent an automatic when I go to Europe, which means I have to pay a small fortune, since manual transmissions are the norm there. Different strokes.) There was a news item couple weeks back about a car thief who gave up because the car he was going to steal was a stick shift, and he can't drive it. I remember one time I was turning to a steep upward incline.Stopped on one of those steep hills - Gough I think - and a very expensive looking sports car stopped inches (or it seems) behind me. I lived to tell the tale but that was no fun. I also drive an automatic transmission. Technology is a great thing. I'm planning to rent it for a road trip (that would start just after visiting SF by public transport) and return it in Las Vegas.

People are superior to machines. We have dexterity, brains, and free will, and we should be telling the cars what to do and making them do what we want, not vice versa. I’ve owned a total of 10 vehicles, 7 with manual transmission (includes 2 motorcycles).I also chuckled at the story of the carjacker who forced the victim out at gunpoint, intending to take the car, but couldn’t figure out what the “stick” was for. Ha-ha. It was in Washington D.C. or Virginia. The car wasn’t exotic, just a common Japanese sedan. I had reserved ahead and wasn’t asked my preference; back then (1985?), it may have been assumed that everyone could shift for themselves. Fortunately, I didn’t need to slink back to the counter and admit I couldn’t. However, if you normally drive on the left side, changing to the right side AND using your right hand to shift might be the bigger adjustment. In that case, I might also suggest an automatic. But to cancel the road trip of a lifetime because you can’t get the transmission you want would be like starving yourself because the only stove available is electric and you insist on gas. The Jeep Wrangler was one.There were several models where the manual option had just been dropped in favor of hybrid drive. Now I have a 6 speed manual, so I get to shift to my heart's content Will continue the research hoping to find something more convenient.:) I am going to surmise it would be difficult to find a rental company that will allow a one way trip like this.

Now I'm already driving automatics for many years in Europe. It would be unfortunate were you to cancel a trip for a misguided reason. It mollifies something, odd, I’m sure. Having to shift gears manually provides a satisfying sense of man and machine being one as we hear the engine’s revs and feel their power, ourselves part engine, one and the same are we controlling speed and direction with gears in lieu of brakes and gas pedal; all in tandem we, thinking ourselves one, feel the road beneath - its slopes, its curves, and slants; and we maintain our place in traffic and in the world, and we know we are good and relish joy in our skill. If you like it, do it, as you do, at home. You’re not going to do it on the airplane coming to America. You wouldn’t do it on the train. You don’t have to do it driving to Las Vegas. A car can be just a car. It is on the left or right side of the image of the gas pump. (And it's on the left side more often than the right.) Not a simple matter of laziness. A manual transmission can be damaged if not used properly. And the vast majority of cars sold in the U.S., at least in the sizes rental companies use, are automatic, and these companies buy in large numbers. It makes sense to them to have cars anyone can drive. I've been at wit's end trying to find the gas cap. Not just wanting to know on which side it will be as I pull up to the pump. But getting out, looking, feeling, pushing stuff, unable to find it. It's real simple. You get into the car. You turn on the engine. Put your hand on the handle. You press the button and move the handle to drive or you put in reverse. That's it. Real easy. Some cars even have a feature where you can lock the speed limit into place and you can take your foot off the pedal.http://schlammatlas.de/en/node/22105 It's called cruise control. Please don't cancel your plans because of an automatic transmission. Almost all cars have cruise control nowadays.

A stick can be a real cause of back pain in or traffic, and would be no fun on a long road trip- not to mention traffic on the LV strip is bad. AS has been said, they are several degrees simpler, if several degrees more boring. This would be a really, really silly thing over which to cancel a road trip. I'm sure driving an automatic is easy, but it's the fact of having to get used to it in a different country and on different roads that concerns me more. No one knows anything? Getting used to changing gears with your right hand (in a manual car ) would be more difficult than getting used to driving an automatic. Not only will a stick rental be more expensive, not only will they give you a driving test and make you promise you’re not renting so as to teach someone how to drive stick, how will you get it back to San Francisco. This isn’t going to be one of those pick up in one place drop off in another. Pretty much the same problems. As I think someone pointed out way upthread.

That's it. There's nothing else to think or worry about. If you have a flat or a breakdown or an accident then there is no replacement car and you will have to make arrangements to get the car back to the car location. Plus most local car companies do not offer insurance inclusive deals and you will have to pay a lot more in insurance. In fact, it is how many Americans use automatic, which is why I see them in my travels in Death Valley struggling uphill and then riding the brakes and overheating them downhill because it is not instinctive to many automatic drivers to shift down. Ideally, the highest D gear in auto (whether it’s called D3 or overdrive or something else) is for normal driving or cruising, but it covers a wider range of vehicle speed than the highest gear on a manual transmission. It takes you from a dead stop through 4th with one hand movement and no foot action.People who use manual properly will adjust to this by double clutching. But that’s a topic for another discussion. Even though you’ll find the D range adequate for most open roads, you WILL need to do some shifting in San Francisco because of the hills, and this will probably be intuitive for you since you are already used to shifting manually at home. And they will do fine on the hills in San Francisco simply because they are already aware of the need to shift for hills, which many Americans seem not to be. It will certainly be a far more relaxing drive in an automatic though.

That region is a test bed for Avis Budget Group innovations such as Avis’ connected car fleet.

We arrived on September 12 and didn’t leave until November 4. Although we were (sadly) stuck in San Jose during most of that time, we did want to get out and see the country a bit. But we are anything but typical. I wanted the freedom of being able to come and go as we pleased, so I decided to rent a car. I also figured it’d be cheaper, but sadly, it was probably the same after the obscene (and mandatory) insurance charges were tacked on. We also paid the nominal charge for roadside protection, which turned out to be entirely worth it ( SEE: Should you purchase roadside assistance protection when renting a car? ). The best part? The car I rented was a standard. It’d been years since I’d driven one routinely, and it was a blast. Here are 5 reasons I think you should rent one, too: That’s honestly appalling. If you can manage a stick, this’ll give you a time to show your stuff. I learned to drive one with my first car. And then my second and third. It all easily came back to me with a fury when we were in Costa Rica. My only consolation is that it’s a Honda. In the United States, we have ways of dealing with them. Not so in Costa Rica. The roads wind and wind. Forever. One of our outings was snaking our way up to Volcan Irazu ( SEE: Visiting Irazu Volcan in Costa Rica ). It’s far more comfortable to control your speed by shifting rather than riding (or burning) the brake the whole way. I know many automatic cars allow you to put the car in a manual mode (of sorts). But an actual manual transmission is always preferred. The first week we had our mini SUV in Costa Rica, one of the kids left the interior light on overnight. The battery was completely dead the next day, and we had somewhere to be. Not a fun situation to be in. With a little help from a hotel staff, the car was easily pushed out of the garage and into the road. Thank goodness for the hills in San Jose. I stuck her in second, picked up a little speed, popped the clutch, and off we went. In Costa Rica, the price difference was nominal. But in other places it isn’t that cheap. Imagine booking a car and then showing up to the counter, just to find the lot devoid of automatics. Ok, I’ve never heard of this happening, but I have heard stories from multiple friends about a rental car agency not having the type of car they rented when they arrived to pick it up. Heck, I’ve gotten “stuck” with a Tahoe when I booked a Corolla. If this can happen to the type of vehicle, it may apply to your choice of drive train, too. Standards are 1000 more fun than automatics. Anyone who drives one knows this. Points With a Crew and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.

Tons of mail subscription emails (and what I did about it) Chuck on 2020 in Review: A Year of (Not) Traveling. But rest assured this is not an impossible thing to learn. With the right knowledge and practice, anyone can learn how to drive a manual car, giving you a more interactive driving experience and some street cred. Here some steps to get you started on your way to manual transmission domination. How do you know if it’s in neutral. Move the clutch around and if it moves freely, it’s in neutral and you’re ready for the next step. The vehicle should already have the parking brake engaged, and it should stay that way for the time being. And before you go any further, don’t forget to put your seatbelt on. So push the clutch in and then turn the key or push the start button if it’s a keyless car. You will need to keep the clutch fully pushed in while starting the vehicle. But you won’t be going anywhere if you don’t disengage the parking brake. Older cars will have a parking brake below the clutch that looks like a handle with a button at the top. Depress the button and push the handle down. Newer models will instead have a button on the console below the clutch that you will need to pull up on or push down on to disengage the parking brake. If you are unsure whether the brake is off, look at the display, which should not show a lighted “P” icon.Now you’re ready to move into first gear. With the clutch still pressed down, move the gear stick into first gear. This may take a couple of times to complete, so don’t get frustrated if you don’t get it on the first try! Take a deep breath and slowly take your foot off the clutch while also having your foot off the brake. If you’re successful, the car will start rolling forward and you can hit the gas and start moving. If you take your foot off the clutch too fast, the car might stall but don’t worry, this is super common. Simply push in the clutch, start the car and do step 5 again. That means you have to shift to a higher gear, which is a lot simpler than getting the car started. Simply push in the clutch again and move the gear shift down into second gear. From there you can do the same to move up into third or even down into fourth gear, depending on the speed limit. You will not need to get into fifth or sixth gear until you drive on a highway or interstate. When you looked at the gear shift you probably noticed an extra “R”, and that is your reverse gear. In newer models, you have to push the gear shift stick down and then move it into reverse. This is done so you don’t accidentally go into first gear instead, which is usually right next to reverse. In older models, you likely won’t have to push the gear shift down before shifting, and the reverse gear is sometimes located in a different spot, like in the bottom right corner. Just be sure to familiarize yourself with how reversing works in the car you’re driving so you don’t end up stuck in a parking space!

Is it because Manual cars aren't as popular? The only time I have found driving in Europe to be stressful was in Ireland, Scotland and England due to the driving on the left hand side of the road while sitting on the right hand side of the vehicle and shifting with my left hand!! In Scotland the gears were actual reversed so after shifting from first to second, then third was up and away from you and fourth was straight down from third. That took some concentration!!! If you are comfortable driving a manual in the US you should be fine. So, driving for me in Europe mainland is exactly the opposite. Last year we had gone to Spain and had done a last minute rental for a day trip from Barcelona. Landed up getting a Fiat pocket-rocket manual (only one left). Took me about 30 min to get used to it. Didn't stop smiling for the rest of the day as i was driving it through the Spanish countryside. Hence the question. So when I see a matrix of available automatics on Auto Europe's web site, listed by rental agency and car class, there will be none listed for the 2 smallest car classes. I always look to get the smallest class of car I can, and thus, for example, if I were to select a manual in the smallest class available and compare it with an automatic in the smallest class available, the manual is likely to be much more expensive than the automatic. However, it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges. Many car hire places will only have a limited number of automatics and only in the higher categories.If you pass in a car with manual transmission you licence is valid for both manual and automatic. The result, everybody learns on a manual, unless you have a physical disability which only allows you to drive an automatic. And your first car is a cheap car and hence a manual. So everybody is familiar with driving a manual. That’s not an issue. I've rarely encountered traffic in Europe that's anything like what you get in Los Angeles, so I can't remember the last time fatigue was an issue. What I found disconcerting was the automatic shutoff of the engine when stopped. It took me a while to get used to that as I thought I was somehow killing the engine when putting it in neutral. My last trip was 20 days in a loop from Munich to Salzburg, to Prague, and back thru Germany. Never had a problem. Car was an Audi 5 series. So, again, just the one trip. What a dream to drive. 5 speed, cruise control, arctic airconditioning, huge boot, excellent winter heater if a bit slow (typical of diesels, because they run much cooler than petrol the heater takes longer to heat up, but then excellent), and just simply a fabulous car to drive. Nippy (nobody would know it was a diesel), huge amount of grunt and the car just loved the mountains. First gear mountains near Chur and Seefeld in Tirol and the car just laughed and buckled down. Same going down, that big engine was a great engine brake. With a 6 speed and all sorts of technical whizbangs it is a truly spectacular car to drive. Huge low speed grunt, happy to cruise at 180 kph which is where I like to be (between 160 and 180) in Germany, but perfectly happy at 120 to 130 elsewhere, a little more lively than the Accord on rough roads but with a much stiffer suspension, but not so happy as the Accord going down steep mountain roads - the smaller engine gives less engine braking so there is more load on the brakes, and the brakes are smaller. I've never used paddles, always a traditional gear stick. In the 1960s I used a 3-on-the-steering-wheel manual on a Chevrolet. WE drove a manual shiftier from time to time in San Francisco and would have to make use of the hand parking brake as a hill holder for those uphill stop sign intersections and hope an idiot with an automatic didn't come up from behind and crowd us. Americans long ago went the route of Auto Transmission, Air Conditioning, Cup Holders, Cheap Gas, and Larger cars being standard. In Europe, they for the most part drive less, in narrower tighter places, and for shorter distances. Virtually none of the trends in the US took off in Europe. Just look at how many Americans drive vehicles with towing hitches. Starting up with heavy loads required some slippage of the clutch causing wear. And for the heavy footed driver with minimal clutch operation skills would shorten clutch life. Schools were mandated to provide drivers training at the high school level and it is much easier to train drivers to an auto transmission than to a manual. It's also much cheaper. Modern automatics are much more efficient, smoother, last longer, require less maintenance, and faster than manuals. They are however, more expensive to manufacture. That could be exciting. Since this tends to be rather expensive, and conducted on a one-to-one basis, a greater percentage of drivers overseas learn on manual transmissions. We currently have one of each.
