Seattle–Tacoma International moves more than fifty million passengers a year, and the difference between a smooth arrival and half an hour of standing on the curb usually comes down to three things you settle at booking time: where you want to be met, what flight you are on, and how much luggage is coming with you.
Curbside or meet-and-greet?
Curbside is the quickest option. Your chauffeur waits in the cell area, you text when you have your bags, and the car pulls up to the designated pickup lane a couple of minutes later. It works well for travellers who know the airport and are travelling light.
Meet-and-greet is the better choice for first-time visitors, clients you are hosting, groups, and anyone arriving with several cases. The chauffeur parks, walks to baggage claim with appropriate name or company signage, and handles the luggage from carousel to car. If you are collecting a client or a colleague you have never met, book this one — it is what the signage is for.
Flight tracking is not an upsell
We track every inbound flight on the reservation. If you land forty minutes early, the car moves up. If you sit on the taxiway, the car waits. That is why the flight number matters more than the scheduled time on your booking: with the flight number we follow the aircraft, without it we are guessing from a timetable.
Airport wait beyond the included grace period is billed at $50 for a sedan, $70 for an SUV and $105 for a luxury van per half hour — but a tracked delay is not the same thing as waiting. The clock that matters starts when you are actually on the ground.
Sizing the vehicle for the luggage, not the people
The most common booking mistake is counting passengers and forgetting cases. Four adults fit comfortably in an executive sedan; four adults with four large suitcases and ski bags do not. Our six-passenger luxury SUV handles the same group with room to spare, and for anything above six travellers the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the natural step up.
- Executive sedan — up to 3 passengers, 2–3 medium cases
- Luxury SUV (Escalade / Navigator) — up to 6 passengers, 5–6 cases
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter — 12–13 passengers, group luggage and oversized items
- 24 to 41 passenger mini bus — conference groups, wedding parties, crews
What to send us when you book
Flight number and airline, the number of passengers, the number of bags, the exact drop-off address, and any name you want on the signage. Those five details are the whole difference between a transfer that runs itself and one that needs three phone calls.
