Book Your Ride! Pre-reserve your airport transfer for added savings and convenience.
Often the cheapest way to get to and from Sacramento airport, shuttle vans often offer a cost effective alternative to taking a taxi. Typically, Sacramento airport shuttle services use large passenger vans and provide pickup service from your home, hotel, or office to (or from) SMF airport. You share the ride, and hence much of the cost, with fellow travelers in your immediate area.
Another option is to reserve a private-ride van, useful for larger families or groups. The ultimate experience is to arrive to Sacramento airport in a sedan or limo. Sedans are typically Lincoln Towncar-type vehicles that accommodate 2-3 passengers, while limos can be as long as buses and hold an entire bachelorette party.

Shuttle van/limo Tipping Etiquette:
Shared ride shuttles: if you’re taking bags and the driver helps you loading/unloading them, its appropriate to give the driver a few bucks for his/her efforts.
Sedans/limos: the most appropriate form of tipping is a percentage of the fare, usually around 15%. Drivers derive much of their income from tips and usually deserve a gratuity if their service was satisfactory.
