What to expect on this route

Meeting your chauffeur at SFO

SFO's official ground-transportation page says the terminal curb is for active pickup only and vehicles may not wait at the curb or on airport roadways, so your chauffeur times the curbside meet to your message that bags are in hand. A meet-and-greet inside the terminal can be added when you book.

Where we drop off in Palo Alto

Downtown hotels around University Avenue, offices along Page Mill Road and Sand Hill Road, homes in Crescent Park and Old Palo Alto, and visitor areas at Stanford University. Send the building or entrance and the chauffeur goes straight there.

Planning the timing

Peninsula traffic varies through the day, so we check 511 SF Bay before every departure instead of promising a drive time. For the return trip, tell us your flight and we suggest a pickup time with room to clear security.

Business travel and roadshows

Many SFO arrivals continue straight into meetings. An hourly as-directed booking keeps the same chauffeur with you after the transfer, and assistants can book several executives in one request.

Pricing

Every ride is quoted live in USD and the price is locked when you book. Complimentary wait is 60 minutes at airports and 15 minutes at other pickups.
