Berkeley Airport Transportation
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) sits roughly 30 miles southwest of Berkeley — on a clear Tuesday morning that is a 40-minute drive, and on a Friday afternoon with Bay Bridge backup it can push 90 minutes. Oakland International Airport (OAK) is closer at about 12 miles, with a faster surface-road approach via I-880, though the Hegenberger Road corridor gets congested on peak travel days. At SFO, pre-arranged charter vans pick up in the courtyards on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim Level and drop passengers at terminal curbs on the Departures/Ticketing Level; at OAK, commercial operators use the terminal curbside areas in front of Terminals 1 and 2 for passenger pickup and drop-off.
Review the official SFO charter instructions and official OAK ground transportation page so your group knows which level and curb to use.
The move that saves the most time: have your group coordinator wait until the full group has cleared baggage claim and is curbside before the van pulls up — commercial lanes at both airports have tight dwell windows. SFO requires advance arrangements for charter and pre-arranged van service, so send the operator your terminal and passenger count before travel. A Berkeley airport sprinter van keeps your entire group on one vehicle and one timeline instead of splitting into rideshares that arrive at different gates.
