Bridge tolls are charged extra. For trips of more than 15 miles, a 50% excess is charged. Up to 5 passengers ride in a taxi from SFO for the same price.




 San Francisco Airport Taxi Scams

Not a scam, per se, but this is one of the priciest cities in which catch a cab from the airport, by cost per kilometre/mile. In 2013, San Francisco Airport ranked #14 on The World’s 15 Most Expensive Taxi Rides From the Airport to a City, by Skift Travel IQ.

 

Be on the lookout for unlicensed, unregistered, illegal taxi cabs in San Francisco. These cabs are private cars with signage and a roof-top light installed to make them look like taxis. Not only will they charge you way above the normal fare, they may also drop you off in dangerous parts of town.

 

Real San Francisco Taxis


  • will say 'San Francisco Taxi Cab' on the side and rear of the cab
  • will have a small metal license plate on the dashboard in front of the windshield
  • will have a driver's ID visible from the back seat

 

San Francisco Police Department Taxi Detail can be contacted at (415) 553–1447.
