Directions for your transfer from San Francisco airport
San Francisco airport (SFO) is the major gateway to Europe, Asia and North America for California and the surrounding areas. The airport is located 22.5 km from Downtown, so your transfer will take around 35 minutes in a San Francisco airport taxi or private shuttle. After exiting San Francisco airport, your driver will head northwest onto US-101 N. They will keep left at the fork to continue on US-101 N/Central Fwy, follow signs for N Golden Gate Bridge/Ninth St/Civic Center. After travelling straight along the Central Freeway for a few km, they will then enter the city centre of San Francisco. From here, your driver will use the smaller local roads to reach your hotel.
San Francisco Airport Taxi Fare
The local drivers at San Francisco airport use a taximeter to calculate their fare, so there’s no set-rate cost for the journey into downtown San Francisco. However, the average cost of this journey is around €51. Keep in mind that extra costs for things such as time of travel, number of passengers and surcharges may also be applied. To secure a set-rate fee, why not book a private shuttle in advance with Welcome Pickups.
