Local know-how

Starting on the right side of the river

Most Sacramento trips to SFO lose time crossing the city to reach I-80. From West Sacramento you are already on the west bank, so the drive starts on the Yolo Causeway rather than in downtown traffic.

International departures from SFO usually leave late morning or late evening; for those we plan a pickup about five hours ahead, which covers the Bay Bridge at its worst and leaves time for check-in.

Flying back, international arrivals can take a while to clear customs. We track the flight and the first hour after landing is free.
