What to know about OAK pickups
Oakland airport is on the east shore of the Bay, south of downtown Oakland in Alameda County. These are the details that shape your pickup. To compare it with SFO and San José, see Bay Area airport transfers.
Two terminals
OAK has two terminals, and your airline decides which one you use. Add the airline and flight number so we plan the pickup at the right one.
Met at the curb, or inside
Your chauffeur can meet you at the curb or inside at arrivals. Meet & greet is an extra charge, shown in your quote.
Free time for bags
Airport pickups include 45 minutes of free waiting time. Free waiting time starts at the scheduled pickup time you choose.
A meeting point agreed early
We confirm where to meet before your trip, so you know where to go once you have your bags.
Child seats when you need them
Ask for infant, child or youth booster seats in the quote form. We confirm them with the price in your quote.
Bags counted, not guessed
Tell us how many suitcases, golf bags or strollers you have, and we'll match the vehicle to them as well as your group.
Your Oakland arrival, step by step
Here's how an OAK pickup runs, from booking to the car door. The airport pickup checklist covers each step in more detail.
- Before you fly, send the airline, flight number and landing date, plus the address you're heading to.
- We confirm the vehicle, time and price, and where you'll meet your chauffeur.
- When you land, turn your phone on and collect any checked bags.
- With meet & greet, your chauffeur waits for you inside at arrivals. Without it, head out to the curb meeting point we confirmed.
- If anything changes on the day, call us at (415) 881-6199. We're available 24/7.
OAK to San Francisco
Crossing the Bay Bridge into the city
Plenty of travelers fly into Oakland and stay in San Francisco. The ride heads north from the airport and crosses the Bay Bridge, coming into the city near the Embarcadero and SoMa.
Bridge traffic changes a lot through the day and on big event nights, so give us the full address and any time you need to be there, such as a dinner reservation or a badge pickup at Moscone Center.
Bridge tolls are a common question on Oakland rides. They're included in your quoted price, along with gratuity and parking.

Groups and wine weekends
Bringing a group through OAK
Oakland works well for groups heading north to Napa and Sonoma, east to a wedding in Lamorinda, or out to an offsite in the Tri-Valley.
The Luxury Sprinter seats up to 14 passengers with up to 14 bags. Passenger and bag numbers are separate maximums. A full car leaves less room for suitcases, so tell us your bag sizes and we'll choose the right vehicle with you.
If guests land on different flights, list every flight number in your notes, and we'll explain in your quote how we can handle it. Planning a wedding weekend? See wedding transportation for the rest of the timeline.
Quote the Luxury SprinterLeaving from Oakland airport
Choose your pickup time, not your flight time. Leave room for check-in, bag drop, security and traffic, and follow your airline's advice on how early to arrive.
From San Francisco, the ride crosses the Bay Bridge eastbound, and traffic out of the city can build at commute times. Tell us your airline so your chauffeur heads for the right terminal.
Pickups at a home or hotel include 15 minutes of free waiting time. Flying back out of OAK after your stay? Choose Round trip in the quote form and add your return date and time, and we'll quote both rides together.
Your OAK quote and cancellation
We quote every trip individually, so you see the price before anything is booked. It depends on the vehicle, the distance or hours, the date and time, and any stops, and it includes gratuity, tolls and parking.
Additional waiting time and extra hours are charged per minute at the hourly rate for your vehicle class.
Your trip is reserved only after we confirm the vehicle, time and price with you. Free cancellation at least 24 hours before scheduled pickup. Later cancellations and no-shows are charged the full reservation price.
The cancellation policy covers changes and no-shows in full.
