SFO Car Service Pickup: Where Will My Driver Meet Me?

Landing at SFO and not sure where to find your car? Here's how a black car or limo pickup works at San Francisco International, step by step.

The Short Answer

SFO has designated pickup areas for limos and pre-arranged car services at each terminal. Your driver meets you at the right one for your terminal and coordinates with you directly, so you know exactly where to go.

Before You Fly

  • Give us your flight number when you book. We track every client's flight, so if you land early or your flight is delayed, your driver adjusts. You don't need to call us to update the time.

  • Make sure we have your cell number. That's how your driver reaches you after you land.

  • Tell us about extra luggage, like golf bags, skis or car seats, so we send the right vehicle.

After You Land

  1. Turn your phone on once you're off the plane.

  2. Collect your bags at baggage claim. On international flights, clear customs first.

  3. Watch for a message or call from your driver. They'll confirm exactly where to meet them, based on your terminal.

  4. Head to the limo pickup area for your terminal, and your driver will be there.

Why We Don't List Exact Door Numbers

SFO assigns pickup areas by terminal, and the exact spots can change over time. Posting a door number here could send you to the wrong spot. Instead, your driver coordinates the exact location with you on the day, based on your flight and terminal.

Flying Into OAK or SJC?

It works the same way at Oakland (OAK) and San Jose (SJC): we track your flight, and your driver coordinates the pickup spot with you after you land. We also serve Hayward Executive Airport (HWD) for private and charter flights.

Heading to SFO Instead?

For drop-offs, your driver takes you straight to the departures curb for your airline. Not sure when to leave? Most airlines suggest arriving about 2 hours before a domestic flight and about 3 hours before an international flight. Tell us your flight time when you book and we'll plan your pickup around it. Pickups between midnight and 5 a.m. include a small early morning fee, and it's included in your quote.
