Immediately across the bridge is Marin County, which is mostly a rich suburban area where getting a ride is difficult, so if you're going up 101 it's best if you can get a ride from SF at least as far as Novato, and preferably beyond Santa Rosa. Alternately you can take Highway 1 from Marin County up the coast, but while very scenic this road has little traffic so be prepared for long waits.
There's a [http://goldengate.org/MCMPromo/index.php promotion] offering free ferry tickets north from SF to Larkspur on weekday mornings (when commuter boats are returning mostly empty), but then you're stuck in Marin County at an onramp without much long-distance traffic, so this is unlikely to be a good option if you're going very far. (However if you were thinking of taking a bus past Marin then catching one in Larkspur instead of SF saves you $4 or so.)
