How a chauffeur ride through The Peninsula chauffeur & car service actually works

Which Peninsula cities does this hub cover?

San Mateo County has 20 incorporated cities, according to the county, and this hub covers the bayside ones: Daly City, Colma, Brisbane and South San Francisco; San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo and Foster City; Belmont, San Carlos and Redwood City, the county seat; and Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley and East Palo Alto. Palo Alto, across the line in Santa Clara County, and Menlo Park have their own pages with sourced facts. The rest are listed on this page so searches for Burlingame or Redwood City still reach the same own-fleet desk.

Is SFO on the Peninsula?

Yes. San Francisco International Airport sits in San Mateo County, near San Bruno and Millbrae, although it is owned and operated by the City and County of San Francisco. That makes SFO the closest commercial airport for most of the Peninsula, and it is an own-fleet airport for Chauffyr: the flight is tracked and complimentary wait is built into the pickup. The live price at the top of this page is a Business Sedan quote from SFO to Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. For the southern end, Mineta San José (SJC) is the other option.

How do corporate trips along the Peninsula usually run?

Many Peninsula bookings are business days: an airport arrival, meetings in Redwood City, Menlo Park or Palo Alto, and a return to SFO. These can be booked as separate one-way transfers, or as an hourly hire if the stops are close together and the timing is uncertain. Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford Research Park and Stanford Shopping Center lie inside Palo Alto city limits, which helps when entering addresses. Companies that book regularly can set up a corporate account with consolidated invoicing.

Can I connect with Caltrain on the Peninsula?

Caltrain runs the length of the Peninsula, with 13 stations in San Mateo County. Some travellers take the train for part of a trip and a car for the rest; the chauffeur can meet you at a station entrance. The Menlo Park station at 1100 Merrill Avenue, built in 1867, is the oldest railroad passenger station site in California and is California State Landmark No. 955. Filoli, the historic house and garden in Woodside, is another common Peninsula destination that is not on the rail line.

How is San Mateo County governed, and how many people live there?

San Mateo County is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors and serves a population of more than 764,000, according to the county. Redwood City, the county seat, incorporated in 1867, and its downtown and courthouse area are frequent business drop-offs. Because the Peninsula is long and narrow, with Highway 101 on the bay side and Interstate 280 along the hills, the chauffeur chooses between the two based on traffic at the time of the trip. Give the desk all of your stops when you book a corporate day, and the quote will cover the vehicle and chauffeur for the hours you need.

Common questions about Chauffyr

How does Chauffyr track my arrival and manage wait time?

Our 24/7 reservations desk watches the flight (commercial) or tail number (private aviation) from before block-out. Commercial airport arrivals get up to 60 minutes of complimentary wait after wheels-down to clear immigration and baggage, then extra wait is billed at the vehicle's hourly rate in 15-minute increments; private-aviation (FBO) arrivals get 15 minutes of complimentary wait after actual landing time, then extra wait is billed at the vehicle’s hourly rate in 15-minute increments; they are met plane-side where the FBO permits, lobby-side otherwise. Non-airport pickups carry 15 minutes of complimentary wait at the quoted pickup time.

What vehicle and chauffeur will arrive for this ride?

You are dispatched a late-model Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Lincoln Aviator or similar executive sedan, a Cadillac Escalade / Chevrolet Suburban or similar SUV, or an Executive Sprinter van depending on headcount and luggage. The chauffeur’s name, mobile and vehicle plate are confirmed by SMS and email the night before departure (or on dispatch for same-day rides). Every chauffeur holds a current commercial licence, is background-checked, drug-tested, and carries the state-required commercial livery insurance.

Is the price locked, and can it change after booking?

Chauffyr quotes are in USD; your confirmed quote is locked when you book — no distance surcharge, no fuel surcharge. The only post-ride adjustments are the 20% gratuity added when you book any wait time beyond the policy windows above, both of which appear as explicit line items on your receipt. Billing to a corporate account is available on request; our desk invoices against a single credit card or ACH relationship.

How late can I book and when do I get written confirmation?

Most rides can be booked up to a few hours before pickup through the live quote widget on this page; our 24/7 US-based desk handles same-day and overnight requests by phone. Every booking returns a written confirmation to your email, with the dispatcher’s direct line should anything on the day of travel change. Cancellation and no-show policy vary by vehicle class and are listed on our cancellation policy page.
