The route

The drive from Alamo to SFO

SFO is about 40 miles from Alamo — fifty minutes in light traffic, around an hour and twenty in the morning peak.

Either north on I-680 to CA-24, the Caldecott Tunnel and the Bay Bridge, or south via I-680, I-580 and the San Mateo Bridge. The driver checks both before leaving.

Local know-how

Alamo's two routes to SFO

Alamo sits in the middle of the I-680 corridor, roughly equal between the Bay Bridge route to the north and the San Mateo Bridge route to the south.

Which one is quicker changes from day to day, so the driver decides on the morning.

Some foothill properties have gates or long lanes; a note when you book saves time at pickup.

How it works

Booked in three simple steps

No phone call needed, and no surprises on the day: the price, the pickup time and the driver are all settled before you travel.
