How long does the SFO to Palo Alto transfer take?

From San Francisco International to central Palo Alto is typically 25 to 35 minutes via I-280 South under normal daytime conditions. During weekday peak hours — morning arrivals and afternoon departures — congestion on US-101 and around the Embarcadero Road exit can push transit closer to 45 to 50 minutes. Your chauffeur uses I-280 when it offers a clear advantage, which it frequently does.

Do you serve Sand Hill Road and the Stanford Research Park from SFO?

Yes. Sand Hill Road, the Stanford Research Park along Page Mill Road, and the main Stanford campus are all straightforward destinations from SFO and frequently booked by venture capital visitors and executive teams. Your chauffeur knows the access roads and visitor parking approach points at major VC firms and the Stanford campus.

Can I book a return transfer from Palo Alto back to SFO?

Yes. For SFO departures we recommend a pickup time that allows for the drive plus a minimum two-hour pre-departure buffer. Your chauffeur will advise on the best departure time based on your flight and the expected traffic when you book.

Is Menlo Park and Redwood City included in the same corridor?

Yes. Menlo Park, Redwood City, and Foster City are all within the same Peninsula corridor, a few miles north or south of Palo Alto, and are covered under the same transfer. Provide your specific address and we route directly there.
