Local know-how
West Sacramento to SMF
West Sacramento is on the Yolo County side of the river, so the airport run never has to cross downtown Sacramento's grid. From the Bridge District or Broderick you are on I-5 within minutes; from Southport we usually come up Jefferson Boulevard or along the levee roads to the freeway.
Because the drive is short, the thing that matters most is the pickup being on time. A booked driver is already outside when you open the door, which is what you want before a 6am departure.
Coming home, tell us your flight and we will be at the ground transportation area when you land — about twenty minutes later you are back across the river.
