Three Bay Area airports, side by side
SFO, Oakland and San José all sit inside our service area, so you can fly into one and out of another and we'll quote both rides. The right airport often depends on where you're staying.
An airport transfer works like a point-to-point ride planned around a flight: one pickup and one destination, with up to five stops on the way if you need them. Each airport page lists common destinations from that airport, grouped by county.
| Airport | Where it is | Terminals | Handy for | Plan your ride |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| San Francisco International (SFO) | South of the city, in San Mateo County | Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and the International Terminal | San Francisco, the Peninsula and Marin | SFO airport car service |
| Oakland (OAK) | On the east shore of the Bay, south of downtown Oakland, in Alameda County | Two terminals | Oakland, Berkeley and the rest of the East Bay | Oakland Airport car service |
| San José Mineta International (SJC) | Close to downtown San José, in Santa Clara County | Terminals A and B | San José and Silicon Valley | San Jose Airport car service |
At all three airports
How we plan each airport ride
The terminal changes from airport to airport. The planning stays the same.
Built around your flight
Add your airline and flight number when you ask for a quote so we can plan your pickup around your arrival.
Curb or inside arrivals
Your chauffeur can meet you at the curb or inside at arrivals. Meet & greet is an extra charge, shown in your quote.
Time for the carousel
Airport pickups include 45 minutes of free waiting time, so a slow bag carousel doesn't put you on the clock.
Space for every suitcase
We match the vehicle to your bags as well as your group, from a sedan for two to the Luxury Sprinter for up to 14.
Seats for young travelers
Ask for infant seats, child safety seats or youth booster seats in the quote form. We confirm them with the price in your quote.
Both directions in one quote
Choose Round trip and add your return date and time, and both rides come back to you in one quote.
After you land
From the gate to the car
Turn your phone on when you land and head for the meeting point we confirmed with you before the trip. With meet & greet, your chauffeur waits for you inside at arrivals. Without it, you meet at the curb once you have your bags.
Choose your pickup time with the arrival in mind. Someone with only a carry-on is ready sooner than a family with checked bags or a passenger clearing customs, so give those trips a later pickup time.
If your flight is delayed, cancelled or moved to another day, call us at (415) 881-6199 or email info@sf.limo with the new flight number. We're available 24/7.

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.

Have your flight number handy?
Send it with your pickup, destination and bag count, and we'll reply with a vehicle and a price.
What to send with your request
A complete request gets you an accurate quote sooner. These details help most:
- Your airline and flight number, and the date the flight lands or leaves. Overnight flights often land the day after they take off.
- For departures, the time you want to be picked up, not the flight time.
- The full address at the other end, with the hotel name and the entrance you'll use.
- How many people are traveling and how many bags, including golf bags, skis, strollers or instruments.
- Requests such as meet & greet, luggage assistance, youth booster seats or infant and child safety seats.
- If you're booking for someone else, the passenger's name and mobile number.
Groups and arrivals on different flights
Flying in with family, a team or a wedding party? Send one request with the total number of people and bags. The Luxury Sprinter seats up to 14 passengers with up to 14 bags. If your group is larger, or half of it lands later, tell us and we'll suggest how to split it.
If people arrive on different flights, list every flight number in your notes. We'll explain in your quote how we can handle it.
For conferences, offsites and guests you're looking after, see corporate travel. For guests flying in for a wedding, see wedding transportation.
Every airport, every county
We drive in all nine Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma. Pickups and drop-offs anywhere in those counties can be quoted, to or from any of the three airports.
- Alameda
- Contra Costa
- Marin
- Napa
- San Francisco
- San Mateo
- Santa Clara
- Solano
- Sonoma
Prices, extra waiting 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.
Free waiting time starts at the scheduled pickup time you choose. 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 explains how changes, waiting time and no-shows work.

Yes. Send both rides in one request with each flight number, and we'll quote them together.
