Super Shuttle

Super Shuttle is a ride share service, where you and other travelers, coming from a similar location, navigate to or from local airports. The service is reliable and generally more cost effective for larger group (3 or more people). Passengers will be dropped off based on the distance, starting with the closest to the farthest drop off point. Based on the number of passengers, and the number of destinations, depends on how long the ride will be. A straight drive to our hotel with no traffic is 45 minutes. For groups smaller than 3, we suggest taking BART or another form of direct transportation, as it may be faster and more cost effective. To learn more about how Super Shuttle works, click here.

Rent a Car

If you plan on doing a lot of travelling around the Bay, it may be best to rent a car for the duration of your trip. Since we have free parking at the hotel, it may be the best option; although it depends on where you're traveling to. If your goal is to head to downtown San Francisco daily from our hotel, the best option would to use another form of transportation to our hotel. We offer complimentary shuttle service to/from Lake Merritt BART Station & Jack London Square ferry terminal, which are both great options to get to and from San Francisco.

However, if you're looking to head to Napa or any other city that is not easily accessible by public transit, then renting a car is the way to go.

You can book your flight and rent a car at the same time, but of course isn't required. You can generally visit the Rental Car Center at SFO and get a great deal on a car that same day. We suggest a more fuel efficient model, as it could cost you less and of course be better for our environment.
