Skip the SFO Garage. Your Chauffeur
SFO moved all rideshare pickups — including Uber Black — to Level 5 of the Domestic Garage. Drag your bags, find an elevator, wait in a crowded lot. Or step off your flight into a waiting black car at the arrivals curb. The choice is obvious.
SFO Just Made the Rideshare Experience Worse.
San Francisco International changed the rules. Uber and Lyft — including Uber Black — can no longer pick up at the terminal curb for domestic arrivals. Every rideshare passenger, regardless of tier, is now funneled to the same place: Level 5 of the Domestic Garage.
You clear baggage claim with heavy luggage after a long flight.
Your app tells you to walk to the Domestic Garage — not curbside.
You take an elevator or the AirTrain to reach Level 5.
You arrive at a chaotic, open-air lot shared with hundreds of other passengers.
Your driver is circling. ETA keeps updating. You're standing in the wind.
"This applies to all rideshare services at SFO domestic terminals — including premium tiers. The garage wait is now standard, not the exception."

The Premium Solution
Curbside Where It Actually Matters.
As a TCP-licensed black car operator, we access the reserved limo zones on the Arrivals / Lower Level of every SFO terminal — the curb the rideshare apps can no longer use.
TCP-Licensed Access
Direct Curbside Arrival
Our limousines and black cars are legally permitted to bypass the rideshare garage entirely. We stage in the designated Reserved Limo zones directly on the Arrivals / Lower Level of every SFO terminal — Domestic and International. Your door is steps from the exit, not floors away.
Premium Upgrade
Inside Meet & Greet
Upgrade to our inside service and your chauffeur will be waiting carousel-side at baggage claim — or just outside the International Terminal customs exit — holding a personalized name sign. He handles your luggage. You handle nothing.
-
Chauffeur at carousel before your bags arrive
-
Personalized digital name sign
-
All luggage carried to the vehicle
-
Zero-stress customs exit for international arrivals
International Terminal — The Fastest Path Through Customs
Silicon Valley executives arriving on international flights can be in a quiet, climate-controlled vehicle within minutes of clearing customs — completely bypassing the chaotic 101 and 280 on-ramps where rideshare drivers circle endlessly. We monitor customs queue times and adjust your chauffeur's position in real time.
Every Detail Handled Before You Land.
Real-Time Flight Tracking
We track your flight from wheels-up. Early, on-time, or delayed — your chauffeur's position adjusts automatically. You will never pay for wait time caused by airline delays.
Complimentary Wait Time — No Meter Running
Your flat rate includes complimentary wait time after landing. Domestic: 30 minutes. International: 60 minutes. We account for deplaning, customs, and baggage — you won't see an extra charge.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing — Zero Surge
You're quoted a fixed price at booking. Weather delay, traffic on 101, late-night arrival — the price does not change. No surge multipliers, no hidden fees, no surprises on your corporate card.
TCP-Licensed. Vetted. Professional.
Every chauffeur is background-checked, California-licensed, and trained in defensive driving. Not a gig worker with a side hustle — a professional who treats your schedule like it matters. Because it does.

"I fly SFO weekly. After the rideshare garage change I started using Black Tie Car. My chauffeur was at baggage claim with my name before I reached the carousel. We were on 101 in eight minutes. I haven't opened the rideshare app since."

What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from real clients across Greater LA.
“I was in a pinch and needed a car from Malibu to LAX last minute for a very early flight. Jimmy quoted, confirmed and booked me within minutes. Driver picked me up 5 minutes early, dressed extremely professional, in a new clean SUV. As professional as it can be.”
Lo P.
Malibu, CA“Jimmy and Luiz were more than excellent. I asked them to take my mother to and from LAX and they went above and beyond. Mom was treated like their own family, and is still talking about her conversation with Jimmy on the drive home. First choice every time.”
