Local know-how
One of our longest runs
Placerville to SFO crosses the whole valley: down the foothills on US-50, across Sacramento, and along I-80 to the Bay.
For international departures we collect you about six and a half hours ahead, which sounds early but protects against the Bay Bridge at its worst.
If Sacramento can connect you to your destination, it is about an hour away — often the better choice from Placerville.
