How do I get from SeaTac Airport to downtown Seattle by car?
Book a private car before you fly and your driver meets you at SeaTac when your flight lands. Downtown Seattle is about 14 miles and 25 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic. Pick curbside pickup, where your driver texts the meeting point, or meet and greet inside baggage claim with a name sign.
Seattle Airport Taxi is a Seattle-based, pre-booked car service. We drive travelers between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and homes, hotels and offices across King, Pierce and Snohomish counties and beyond. We also run transfers to the Pier 66 and Pier 91 cruise terminals.
It is not a street-hail taxi. You book ahead, see the full price before paying, and the vehicle carries only your party. Beyond airport runs, the same cars and drivers handle hourly bookings, corporate travel, event transportation and group trips.
See prices for your tripWhat every ride includes, and what is clearly marked as an extra.
Rides run around the clock, every day of the year, including red-eye arrivals, 4 a.m. departures and holidays. Same-day requests are confirmed by phone.
Infant, toddler and booster seats reserved when you book, as a paid add-on from $20 per seat. Washington law requires a proper restraint for most children under 8.
Your full price, with taxes and tolls included, is shown before you pay. Gratuity, meet and greet and other extras are listed separately, never folded in later.
Professional local drivers, well-maintained vehicles, and luggage limits enforced so every bag rides secured in the trunk instead of on a lap.
Unsure how long you need the car? Book hourly with 25 miles per hour included and keep the same driver for meetings, errands or a day around Seattle.
Real-time flight tracking and 30 minutes of free waiting counted from your actual landing time, so an early or delayed flight never costs you the pickup.
Every ride is private and non-stop for your party only. Your details are used for your booking and pickup updates, and never shared or sold.
Cancel airport transfers free up to 24 hours before pickup, and manage changes from your account or by phone. Hourly bookings need 7 days notice.
