Marin Airport Transfer Planning Checklist
Fact checked August 23, 2026. An airport ride is easier to coordinate when the chauffeur service receives the right details before confirming the booking. Use this checklist whether you are traveling from Sausalito, Mill Valley, San Rafael, Novato, Tiburon, Corte Madera or another Marin County pickup point.
Quick airport-transfer checklist
- Exact pickup and drop-off points
- Airport, airline, flight number and departure or arrival time
- Passenger and luggage counts
- Child-seat, accessibility or vehicle requests
- Extra stops and return-trip details
- A mobile number that can receive pickup updates
For an airport departure
Share your exact pickup address or agreed meeting point, airport and airline, flight departure time, passenger count, approximate luggage size, special requests, extra stops and a reachable phone number.
The requested pickup time should account for the drive, likely traffic, airline check-in, security and any extra stops. Marin Gateway Limo can review the requested itinerary, but the traveler remains responsible for airline and airport arrival requirements.
For an airport arrival
Share your flight number and arrival date, airport and terminal if known, lead passenger name and mobile number, passenger and luggage counts, destination, requested stops and whether the trip is one-way or part of a return itinerary.
Flight information helps the ride team follow arrival changes and coordinate the requested pickup. Airport curb and waiting rules still apply, so confirm the meeting instructions for the booked airport and vehicle category.
SFO pickup considerations
San Francisco International Airport states that terminal curbside areas are for active passenger pickup and drop-off only and that vehicles may not wait at the curb. SFO maintains separate ground-transportation guidance for different transportation categories. Follow the meeting instructions supplied for your reservation rather than assuming the pickup point.

OAK pickup considerations
Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport publishes a ground-transportation directory with separate categories for limousines, taxis, shuttles and other operators. Pickup coordination can depend on the vehicle or operator category and current airport rules. Follow the instructions confirmed for your reservation.

Sedan or SUV?
A sedan can suit many solo, couple and executive trips. An SUV may be more appropriate when the group has more passengers, larger luggage, sports equipment or multiple child-seat requests. Vehicle images and general capacities are representative; confirm the available vehicle and requested capacity before booking.
