SFO to University of San Francisco Private Car Service
Private, direct transportation from San Francisco International Airport to the USF campus on the Hilltop, its residence halls and apartments in the streets around it.
A transfer, not a tour: no stops and no guide — we pick you up at SFO and drive you directly to University of San Francisco.
Flat rate $75 one way, either direction.
A economy SUV runs a flat $75 one way between SFO and University of San Francisco — the same price to the airport as from it, no surge, no meter, no per-bag charge. For a larger party or a different car, the seven-seat minivan, the premium sedan, the premium SUV and the Black SUV are priced in the booking flow, where the exact all-in fare for your vehicle is shown and confirmed before you pay.
The booking flow adds the $5.50 SFO airport fee, shown as its own line: $80.50 all-in for the economy SUV.
Pickups between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. add the published night fee, shown as its own line before you pay. Tip is not required.

Why travelers book this route
USF sits on a hill in the middle of the city, which makes the last half mile the awkward part: Fulton, Golden Gate and Parker are steep and one-way in places, and the residence halls each have their own entrance. A driver who knows the block puts you at the right door instead of the bottom of the hill.
Move-in weekend and the start of a semester bring students in from across the country and from Asia in particular, on flights that land at every hour. A booked car is waiting at the arrivals curb whenever the plane gets in, with the fare fixed before you flew.
The ride back to SFO books the same way, at the same rate, timed to the flight with the city traffic allowed for.
Arrivals curb, flight tracked, driver confirmed by text
Book online in about a minute — no account, no app. A person reviews the request and texts back to confirm the ride and the fare; on the day, the driver texts before pickup and again on arrival. Then it is the drive to University of San Francisco, direct, with no other passengers and no stops.
Add your flight number
We track the flight. A late landing moves your pickup rather than losing it, and there is no waiting fee for flight delays.
Meet at the arrivals curb
Collect your bags and step out to the arrivals curb at your terminal. We text your driver's name, car and plate before you land.
Luggage goes in the car
The driver loads at the curb and unloads at your door. Enter your bag count when you book so the right vehicle comes — the minivan for a family or four large cases.
The way back, curbside
For the ride to your flight home, the driver drops you at the departures level of your terminal, with the pickup time set against your check-in.
About University of San Francisco
The campus is the Hilltop above Golden Gate Park: St Ignatius Church and Lone Mountain on the skyline, the residence halls along Golden Gate and Turk, and the Panhandle, the Inner Richmond and NoPa around it. The graduate campus on Howard Street downtown is a few miles east.
One published rate covers the west side of the city, so the fare is the same to a residence hall, an apartment in the Richmond or the Sunset, or a hotel by the park. An address downtown prices from its own band in the booking form.
- Give us the residence hall or the building name; the driver uses the entrance that serves it rather than the main gate on Fulton.
- The streets around the Hilltop are steep and narrow, with street cleaning on weekday mornings. The driver picks a workable curb — add a phone number in the notes so they can text you when they are on it.
Choose the vehicle that fits your trip
Every class is a flat rate, both directions. Exact fares and seating for your route are shown in the booking flow, confirmed before you pay. The Sprinter is chartered by the hour — see hourly car service.
University of San Francisco to SFO private car service
The return leg books in the same form at the same rate: set the pickup to your residence hall or building on the USF campus, the drop-off to SFO, and add the flight number — we set the pickup time against the check-in your airline wants, allowing for the traffic on the way, and you review the whole trip before you pay.
How long does it take to get from SFO to USF?
About 35 minutes with the roads clear, up 101 and across the city. Commute hours and a game at Oracle Park add to that; your driver plans for it, and the fare doesn't change.
Can you pick us up directly at SFO?
Yes. Add your flight number when you book and we track the landing. Collect your bags, step out to the arrivals curb at your terminal, and your driver is there — we text the driver's name, car and plate before you land. There is no waiting fee for a late flight.
We are going to the downtown campus on Howard Street
Type that address into the booking form and it prices the drive to it — downtown sits in a different band of the city, so the fare is its own. Both campuses book the same way, with the same flat rate in either direction.
Which car should we book?
The seven-seat minivan is the car for a move-in and for anyone with bedding and boxes — the rear seats fold flat. One student with a case or two rides in the economy SUV. Enter your bag count when you book and we'll say if the car looks tight.
Is the ride private?
Yes. The car is yours alone, direct from the airport to your address — no other passengers, no stops. It is a transfer, not a tour.
Can you drive us from USF back to SFO?
Yes, at the same rate. Choose round trip when you book the ride out and both legs book together, each with its own pickup time and confirmation. Or book the way back on its own: your hall or apartment as the pickup, SFO as the drop-off, with the flight number.
What is added to the fare?
Only the SFO airport fee, shown as its own line in the booking flow before you pay — the drive crosses no toll bridge. No meter, no surge, no per-bag charge, no booking fee. Tip is not required.
