Local know-how
Long-haul from Carmichael
SFO is about 100 miles from Carmichael. For a couple heading overseas, the sedan is enough for two large cases each; with more luggage the SUV is the better choice.
We leave Carmichael along the boulevards, join I-80 and stay on it to the Bay Bridge. International departures get a pickup about five and a half hours before the flight.
When you land back at SFO, your driver tracks the flight and waits through customs — the first hour is free.
