Local know-how
The longest run on I-80
From Auburn, SFO is the far end of I-80 — every mile of the corridor from the foothills to the Bay Bridge. It is the route when the flight is international or SMF simply does not have it.
We build the pickup around the slowest stretches: Roseville in the morning commute and the Bay Bridge approach at any busy hour.
If you would rather fly domestic, Sacramento is under an hour away and has its own page.
