I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money.
1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case?
2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances?
3. What documents should I carry with me?
