Other major airports within a reasonable drive are:
- San Francisco (SFO) - Multiple bridge tolls. Have to drive way out of the way to avoid tolls.
- Oakland (OAK) - Can avoid bridge tolls.
- San Jose (SJC) - Can avoid bridge tolls.
I would strongly not recommend flying into Reno, Nevada. With The Smith Circle taking place in January, there's a very good chance the road between Reno and Auburn would require snow changes, if not be completely closed.
Tolls
Crossing any major bridge in the Bay Area will require a toll. A list of toll bridges can be found at https://511.org/driving/bridges.
Paying cash for bridge tolls is not an option. You can find out about payment options at https://511.org/driving/bridges/paying-tolls, but if you're renting a car, it might be best to avoid the toll bridges.
There are also express lanes on the freeways which cost a toll, but they are always optional. There will always be regular non-toll lanes along side the toll lanes.
Travel Time
Auburn is on the way to a number of ski resorts in the Sierra Nevada mountains. So, travelling to Auburn, even from Sacramento, can easily have heavier than normal traffic, especially on a Friday/weekend. Please allow extra time for travel.
