Getting to San Francisco from San Francisco (SFO) Airport
San Francisco International Airport is about 13 miles south of downtown.
Airporter coaches, minivans, and taxis provide transportation from
the airport to downtown.
SFO Airporter Coaches
The "SFO Airporter" can conveniently provide transportation from San
Francisco International Airport to downtown hotels. The blue and red buses and
mini-vans pick up on the lower level directly outside of the baggage
claim area. Look for the blue posts in the center island
between the two lanes of traffic.
Tickets can be purchased on the bus from the driver when you board.
Both of the "SFO Airporter"'s routes (Union Square and Downtown)
stop at the Nikko Hotel as well as
other nearby hotels.
An SFO Airporter departs every 15 minutes from the airport from
6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The cost is $9 one-way or $15 round-trip
for adults; children 2-16 are $5 one-way.
On-call service is available for smaller boutique hotels.
