Choosing appropriate transportation involves more than counting seats. The number of passengers, amount of luggage, length of the journey and purpose of the trip can all influence which type of vehicle is suitable.
The Solano Airport Shuttle fleet is intended to support a range of transportation requirements, from individual airport passengers and couples to families and groups traveling together.
Airport journeys are particularly sensitive to space requirements. Four passengers traveling with several large suitcases may require more room than the same four passengers making a local point-to-point journey without luggage. Similarly, a group heading to wine country may prioritize comfortable group seating, while a business traveler may need a simpler transportation arrangement.
For that reason, we encourage customers to provide accurate information rather than selecting transportation based only on passenger capacity.
Our fleet page is intended to help you understand the available vehicle categories, typical passenger suitability and potential luggage considerations. Actual vehicle availability can vary according to the date, reservation requirements and transportation being requested.
Vehicle images and descriptions should be viewed as representative of the relevant category unless a particular vehicle is specifically confirmed as part of a reservation. This avoids creating unrealistic expectations when operational requirements call for an equivalent vehicle.
Comfort and practicality are especially important on longer airport routes. Journeys from Solano County to SFO, OAK, SMF or SJC can involve substantial road time depending on the pickup point and traffic conditions. Appropriate passenger and luggage space can make that journey considerably easier.
Groups should also consider whether traveling together is an important part of the experience. In some situations, using an appropriately sized shuttle allows passengers to remain together rather than coordinating several separate vehicles.
Before reserving, review the fleet information and then provide your passenger count, luggage requirements and trip type on the booking form. If you are uncertain about the appropriate vehicle category, provide the details of your journey rather than guessing. The objective is to match transportation capacity to the practical needs of the trip.
