Single-journey vs. Round-trip San Francisco airport transfers

For booking your San Francisco airport transfers, you have two great options:

Single-journey

A one-way trip, perfect if you only need a ride from the airport to your destination or from your hotel back to the airport.

Best for: Travellers with flexible plans or those who have already arranged a different return transport.

Round-trip

If you already know your return date, a round-trip booking is a convenient way to arrange both legs of your transportation at once. This saves you time and ensures your ride is secured for both arrival and departure.

Best for: Travellers who want to save time and secure their full transportation needs upfront for peace of mind.

Private vs. shared transfers from San Francisco airport

Hoppa offers both private cars and shared shuttles to suit your budget and preferences.

Shared shuttles

This is the perfect option for solo travellers or small groups of people looking for an economical transfer.

• You'll travel with other passengers and can expect a few stops along the way. If you're in a hurry, you may want to consider upgrading to a private vehicle.
• Wait times can be up to 50 minutes.
• With shared shuttles, you pay in advance, and there are no hidden fees or extra costs.

Private transfers

Ideal for people travelling for business, couples and families, this service provides a quick, direct transfer straight to your accommodation.

• With private transfers, you get a non-stop service directly to your destination, allowing you to skip queues.
• For a truly special experience, you can choose to upgrade to an Executive or Luxury transfer.
• There are no hidden fees or additional costs when you book a private transfer, as you simply pay in advance.

Good to know when you book a private transfer:

• When you book a private transfer with hoppa, the vehicle is reserved for you or your party only.
• Your departure time will be scheduled according to your e-ticket, ensuring no waiting time before you set off.

Best airport transfer option by group size: Which is best for you?

Choosing the right transport for your group can make all the difference. Here are our recommendations based on different travel scenarios:

Travelling as a solo adventurer or a couple?

The shared shuttle is your most economical option. You'll travel with other passengers, which can add some stops, but it’s a great way to keep costs down.

For a more direct and private experience, the private car is a perfect upgrade. It's a great choice for couples or a small family of four, providing a quick, non-stop trip directly to your hotel.

Heading to San Francisco for a special occasion or for business?

If you're looking for a touch of class for a small group (up to four passengers), the private executive transfer is ideal. This premium service offers luxury and direct transport, so you can arrive in style.

Are you a family or group travelling together?

A private minibus is perfect for larger families or groups of up to 16 people. This option eliminates the hassle of booking multiple cars and ensures everyone travels together comfortably.

Organising transport for a large event?

For weddings, school trips, or other large parties (up to 60 passengers), a private coach is the ultimate solution. This keeps your entire group together, and the cost divided by the number of people joining is very affordable.

Are you or a member of your party a person with restricted mobility?

Our wheelchair accessible minibus is specially designed to provide a comfortable and stress-free journey. You'll receive a direct, door-to-door service with on-hand assistance from your driver.

To ensure a smooth journey from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to the city, here are a few things to keep in mind:

✔ Finding your driver: Your e-ticket is your guide. The specific meeting point for your driver is in the ‘Find my pick-up’ section of your ticket. Even if you’ve travelled with hoppa before, pickup locations can change, so it’s always best to review the instructions carefully before you land.

Your pick-up time will be listed on your e-ticket, and we recommend being ready to leave 15 minutes before the scheduled time. If you can’t find your driver, simply call the emergency number on your e-ticket for an update.

✔ City highlights: As you head into the city, you’ll pass through iconic areas. For a classic San Francisco experience, ride the famous cable cars up and down the city's steep hills. When you get to the waterfront, explore Fisherman's Wharf for some of the best seafood and sightseeing in the world.
