Why choose Millbrae for your road trip
Millbrae — a city worth exploring
Millbrae sits just 2.4 km from San Francisco International Airport, making it one of the most convenient starting points for a California road trip. This small city on the San Francisco Peninsula is home to the Millbrae Museum, which chronicles the area's history from the Ohlone people through the railroad era. The 16 Mile House, a historic stagecoach stop dating back to 1872, once served travellers along the old Bayshore Highway. Millbrae Avenue offers a lively stretch of restaurants and cafés, with a particularly strong selection of East Asian cuisine. Green Hills Country Club provides sweeping views across San Francisco Bay, while the Millbrae Community Library is a well-loved local gathering spot. San Francisco is just 24 km to the north, and Half Moon Bay sits roughly 30 km to the southwest along the scenic coast. The Peninsula's geography — a narrow corridor between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay — means you can reach beaches, redwood forests, and urban attractions within a short drive. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa connects you directly with local owners across the Bay Area, giving you a peer-to-peer experience that often includes personalised tips on where to park and explore. Whether you pick up a motorhome near the airport or find a campervan closer to the coast, Millbrae is a practical and rewarding base for discovering the region.
Best time to visit
Millbrae enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate year-round, making it a great base in any season. The Millbrae Art and Wine Festival, held each September, fills Broadway with live music, local food, and community spirit. Summer months from June to August are the most popular for campervan travel along the California coast, so we recommend booking early on Yescapa to secure the best peer-to-peer rates. Spring and autumn bring comfortable driving conditions and quieter campsites across the Peninsula. Even winter is pleasant for motorhome touring, with daytime temperatures rarely dropping below 10°C.

Great experience, I heartily recommend Dani and his lively van! We had a trip in the mountains and it was lovely.
Meg
5 / 5
Had a really great trip thanks to Mireia and her van! The whole process was great, communication was brilliant throughout, and the van had everything I needed. Mireia was amazing to deal with and went above and beyond to make sure everything with the van and my trip went smoothly. Would rent again in a heartbeat!

We had a great experience with Sharon. She was friendly, helpful and very transparent, clearly showing us all the existing damages during pickup. The camper was well equipped, and her list of places to visit and overnight spots was extremely helpful. The drop-off was also very smooth, and Sharon was flexible with the return time. We really enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend her! 😊

Pedro was fantastic to rent the van from. The van was an old battler, got the job done when needed. Simple set up but everything you need to live the Portugal van life. Would recommend Pedro and any of his vans.
Asher
5 / 5
We absolutely loved Andrea's campervan! It offers incredible value for money, had everything we needed, and we could completely rely on it out on the road. Andrea herself is the absolute sweetest and was always available to help with whatever we needed—even going above and beyond beyond just campervan matters. Highly recommend!
