- If the museum runs over: skip the SF-side bridge stop, straight to Battery Spencer by 6:30
- Stanford and Fort Point are out. Concert in Concord does not fit (show 6:30 PM, ~90 min away)
- Bridge toll is electronic, southbound only, on the way back. SIXT bills it with a fee unless a toll pass is added at pickup
- Verify Apple / Google / museum hours the morning of
