San Francisco Airport Transfers
San Francisco Airport has many transportation alternatives.
If you're driving, rent a car at the airport. If you're moving with children or pets, this helps keep them safe in their car seats on the ride home.
We recommend BART, California's most reliable public transit system, for public transportation. It takes about 30 minutes to go from the airport to downtown San Francisco, so it's good if you need something fast but not as fast as Uber or Lyft. A bus is also a great option if you have a lot of luggage.
Taxis are available outside the Terminal or by reservation. Taxis usually charge flat prices based on destination and rush hour. If you have a lot of luggage, reserve a cab before you land to avoid waiting.
Rental Car Services at San Francisco Airport
Some of the popular car rental brands at the San Francisco Rental Car Center include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, National, and Dollar, located on the fourth floor. Fox and Hertz are also located on the first floor.
San Francisco car rentals require a valid driver's license in the renter's name. Other companies only accept renter-named credit cards. Some car rental companies in San Francisco allow 18- to 20-year-olds to rent a car with a student ID. There may be an additional cost for those under 25 years old. Renting a car in San Francisco requires a passport or a Canada-enhanced license.
