Built around flight timing, not curb rules

Commercial curbside pickup and FBO tarmac service run on completely different clocks. SFDRIVEN tracks your flight in real time, adjusts for early or delayed landings, and coordinates directly with ramp staff for private aviation pickups — so your car is exactly where it needs to be, exactly when you land.

What's included

  • Live flight tracking
  • 45 minutes of complimentary waiting time for domestic arrivals and 60 minutes for international arrivals
  • Meet-and-greet with name signage, available on request
  • Help with bags curbside or at the aircraft
Your arrival, made simple

How airport pickup works

From your chauffeur's first text to your ride away from the terminal, here's what to expect when you arrive.

  1. Land and connect

    Your chauffeur will text you after your flight lands, so you have a direct contact for your pickup.

  2. Collect your bags

    For curbside pickup, collect any checked luggage before requesting your car. Traveling without checked bags? Head toward your pickup location.

  3. Share your exact location

    Contact your chauffeur with your terminal, level and door number. If possible, choose a less crowded spot within the designated pickup area and confirm it with your chauffeur.

Time to get settled

Complimentary waiting time

45 minDomestic arrivals
60 minInternational arrivals

Without a requested pickup buffer: complimentary waiting time starts when your flight arrives at the gate.

With a requested later pickup: complimentary waiting time starts at your scheduled pickup time.

If your flight arrives early or is delayed, we adjust your pickup time while keeping the same requested buffer.

    Share the passenger count, lead passenger's name, luggage quantity and final destination. Mention oversized bags, golf clubs, child-seat requests, additional stops or assistance needs when requesting your quote.

    For onward travel, include all stops and let us know whether you need a one-way transfer or a vehicle to remain available.

    Chauffeur details are provided to the booker. Updates when the chauffeur is on site, the passenger has been collected, or the trip is complete are available by request. Let us know which updates you need and who should receive them.

Keep everyone coordinated

If your flight plans change

If your flight is delayed, diverted or moved to another FBO, contact SFDRIVEN promptly with the revised arrival details.

Ask us to reconfirm the pickup location, timing and vehicle availability, along with any effect on your reservation or billed time. Share the revised plan with the passenger and crew.

Before you finalize

Arrival timing and minimum billing

Your chauffeur will be in position 15 minutes before your scheduled pickup time.

FBO pickups have a 2-hour minimum for sedans and SUVs and a 3-hour minimum for vans.

All waiting time counts toward billed time, including the 15 minutes before your scheduled pickup.
