A local chauffeur company compares shuttle, car service, light rail, parking and car rental.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is one of the busiest airports in the country, and the holidays are its busiest weeks. Here is how each kind of Seattle airport transportation works, so you can choose the one that fits your trip.
A private SeaTac airport shuttle or Seattle airport car service takes only your group, door to door. You book ahead, you know the price before you ride, and your chauffeur tracks your flight. It is the easiest choice for families, groups with luggage, business travel and early flights.
Our office is on International Boulevard, about 2 minutes from the terminal. We drive sedans, SUVs and 14-passenger vans, 24/7. See our Seattle airport shuttle and SeaTac airport car service pages.
The drive from SEA to downtown Seattle is about 14 miles and takes 25–35 minutes without traffic, and 40–60 minutes at rush hour. A private shuttle drops you at your hotel door, with no stops for other passengers. See SeaTac to downtown Seattle.
The SeaTac/Airport light rail station is a short walk from the terminal through the parking garage. Trains go to downtown Seattle in about 40 minutes. It is a good low-cost choice if you travel light and your hotel is near a station. It is harder with big bags, children or a cruise trip.
If you drive, you can park in the airport garage or at an off-site lot. On holiday weeks the garage and many lots fill up, and long trips add up in parking fees. A ride to and from the airport often costs less than a week of parking, and you do not need to find a space.
The SeaTac rental car facility is off the airport, and you take a shuttle bus to reach it. A rental makes sense if you will drive a lot during your stay. If you only need to get to your hotel, the cruise pier or one meeting, a private car is simpler and you skip downtown parking costs.
With our service, you choose how to meet your driver. For meet-and-greet, your chauffeur waits at baggage claim with your name. For curbside pickup, we text you the exact spot when you land.
SeaTac security lines are longest on the days before Thanksgiving and Christmas, and on Sunday afternoons. The Port of Seattle shows live security wait times on its website. Plan to arrive about 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight.
Our tip: book your holiday airport ride at least one week ahead. Busy dates sell out, and an early booking gets the vehicle you want.
Many travelers stay at hotels near SeaTac Airport before an early flight or a cruise. We pick up at all SeaTac and Tukwila hotels on International Boulevard and drive you to the airport, downtown Seattle, the cruise piers or anywhere in the region.
