Ask before you book

SFO tells travelers to confirm shuttle service with the hotel when booking. Ask whether the shuttle runs at your arrival hour, how often it comes and where it picks up at the hotel. Late arrivals and very early flights are where shuttles most often do not run.

SFO's list gives no shuttle hours or frequency. Each hotel's address is in the place list below. Rates change daily, so check the hotel's own site for room prices.

Hotel not on the list

If your hotel is not among the 30, ask it whether it runs a shuttle. Without one, take a rideshare, a taxi or BART from the International Terminal.
