I would say you are SOL.

Under the current State order (assuming superseding any county orders), car rental companies are essential. Given SFO is still operational, you practically have no excuse not to return the car.

Also - the order does not actually prohibit travel.

If you are serious about not returning the car as planned, your rental will be most likely repriced to a one-way with mileage limitation. The bill is going to be massive.
