Atherton Limo & Airport Limo Atherton | SFO Black SUV Car Service

About Us

Airport Commuter has been running discreet, SAFE, DEPENDABLE Black SUV car service for the residents of Atherton since 1986. SFO is a 20-minute run, SJC is 25 minutes, OAK is 35 minutes — flat rates on every combination. Our regular Atherton clients book the same few drivers for every trip, because privacy and consistency matter here more than anywhere else we serve on the Peninsula.

About Atherton. Atherton (population ~7,200, incorporated 1923) is one of the smallest and by nearly every measure the wealthiest town in the United States. Bloomberg ranked Atherton #1 on its 2020 Richest Places in America index — with an average household income over $525,000 — beating Scarsdale NY (#2) and even fellow Peninsula town Hillsborough (#3). Forbes regularly ranks Atherton's ZIP code (94027) number one in the country for median home price. The town has no downtown, no commercial district, no gas stations, no apartments — just estate-size residential lots on oak-shaded streets. Tech and finance executives, Fortune 500 CEOs, and Silicon Valley founders have quietly settled here for generations.

Landmarks our drivers know. Menlo Circus Club (private equestrian / tennis / social club since 1922), Holbrook-Palmer Park (22 acres, the town's only public park, with the historic 1911 Holbrook-Palmer Carriage House), and the Atherton Caltrain station platform on the Palo Alto line. Major streets we navigate daily: Alameda de las Pulgas, Valparaiso, Middlefield, Selby Lane, Park Lane, and Atherton Avenue.

Schools. Atherton is served by two top-ranked public districts — Menlo Park City Elementary and Sequoia Union High School District. But the real Atherton signature is its private schools: Sacred Heart Schools Atherton (preK-12, the oldest independent Catholic school in the West, founded 1898 on the 60-acre former Hopkins-Searles estate), Menlo School (6-12, co-located with Menlo College on the historic Flood estate), and Menlo College. Stanford is 10 minutes south.

Hospitals. Stanford Hospital and Stanford Lucile Packard Children's Hospital are 10 minutes south via Alameda de las Pulgas — Stanford is the Level I trauma center and academic medical center for the entire mid-Peninsula. Sequoia Hospital (Dignity Health) in Redwood City is 8 minutes north. Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame is 15 minutes north. Our drivers handle medical-transport runs to all three.

Parks and nature. Holbrook-Palmer Park is Atherton's only public park (22 acres, walking trails, community center, events venue). For more options, residents drive 10 minutes to Stanford's Dish hiking loop, Foothills Park (Palo Alto), or the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve in Portola Valley for proper hillside hiking.

Neighborhoods we serve throughout Atherton. West Atherton, Lindenwood, West of Alameda, Lloyden Park, Selby Lane, the Alameda de las Pulgas corridor, Middlefield corridor, and all of Atherton Avenue. If it has an Atherton ZIP of 94027, we cover it.

Airport drive times from Atherton. SFO: 20-25 minutes (20 miles, via 101 north). SJC: 20-25 minutes (17 miles, via 101 or 280 south). OAK: 35-45 minutes (30 miles, via 101 + Dumbarton or San Mateo Bridge).

Why Atherton residents call us. Discretion. Most of our regular Atherton accounts request the same two or three drivers every trip — professionals we've employed for 10-30 years who understand that a car pulling into an Atherton driveway at 4 AM for an SFO flight doesn't need to be announced, photographed, or discussed. Black, unmarked, executive Town Cars, Livery MKT, and Escalade SUVs. GPS dispatch. 24/7.

Beyond the airport, we run corporate accounts, weddings, Stanford graduations, Menlo Circus Club events, private airport transfers to Hayward or San Carlos Executive airports for private aviation clients, wine country day trips to Napa and Sonoma, and long-term black-car accounts. Since 1986.
