San Francisco chauffeur rates and pricing
Chauffeur service in San Francisco costs $100/hr for an Executive Sedan, $120/hr for a First Class SUV, $170/hr for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and $200/hr for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van. Every rate locks at booking — no surge during Dreamforce week, JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, Outside Lands, or Giants playoff games at Oracle Park.
| Vehicle | Hourly rate | P2P minimum | Capacity | Min hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan (E-Class, CT6, XT6, Lyriq) | $100/hr | from $120 | 3 pax, 3 bags | 2 hr |
| First Class SUV | $120/hr | from $150 | 6 pax, 6 bags | 2 hr |
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class | $170/hr | from $300 | 3 pax, 2 bags | 2 hr |
| Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van | $200/hr | from $540 | 10–14 pax | 3 hr |
- Executive Sedan — $100/hr, ideal for SFO airport transfers, daily Financial District commutes, and solo executive runs.
- First Class SUV — $120/hr, the preferred choice for venture partner roadshows, family SFO trips, and Wine Country small groups.
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class — $170/hr, reserved for biotech CEO arrivals at JPMorgan Healthcare, Salesforce CEO roadshows during Dreamforce, and high-profile guest transport.
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van — $200/hr, the workhorse for Outside Lands shuttles, Napa wedding transport, conference attendee groups, and corporate offsites.
Bottom line: For most SF airport transfers and Sand Hill Road runs, an Executive Sedan flat rate is roughly 35–55% cheaper than Uber Black during peak hours — and the price never changes regardless of US-101 traffic, Dreamforce week, or Outside Lands weekend.

Dreamforce week — SFO to Union Square:
Uber Black $52 × 4.0x = $208
Detailed Drivers: from $120 flat

No cancellations, no surge
San Francisco hosts the most concentrated demand events in the country. Dreamforce alone brings 170,000 attendees to SoMa over 4 days every September — Uber capacity collapses within walking distance of Moscone Center. JPMorgan Healthcare Conference fills every Union Square hotel for one week each January with biotech CEOs running back-to-back meetings. Book flat-rate chauffeur service and eliminate the unpredictability.

SFO pickup instructions
Your chauffeur monitors your flight and meets you at the SFO commercial vehicle pickup zone. Domestic Terminal 1 (Harvey Milk Terminal): meet at the curbside on the lower-level Arrivals roadway. Terminal 2: same lower-level Arrivals. Terminal 3: lower-level Arrivals. International Terminal A and G: lower-level Arrivals at the international curbside. Your chauffeur holds a name sign and assists with luggage. For private aviation arrivals, pickup is planeside at Signature Flight Support or Atlantic Aviation FBO on the south side of SFO, or San Carlos Airport (SQL).
OAK and SJC pickup
Oakland International (OAK) Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 use lower-level Arrivals curbside pickup. OAK is often the faster option for East Bay destinations (Berkeley, Walnut Creek, Lafayette) and avoids US-101 congestion. San Jose International (SJC) Terminal A and Terminal B use the curbside commercial vehicle zone — fastest option for South Bay (Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara). Your chauffeur meets you with a name sign at the designated pickup zone.
