The Evolution of Our Fleet — Since 1986
For nearly four decades, Airport Commuter has met every flight in the finest chauffeured vehicle of its day. From the very first Lincoln Town Cars that carried executives and flight crews through SFO in 1986 to today’s Cadillac Escalade ESV and executive Sprinters, four generations of our fleet have evolved — while the on-time, white-glove service has never changed.

The Lincoln Town Car Era Begins

Airport Commuter opens its doors in South San Francisco with the gold standard of airport luxury: the body-on-frame Lincoln Town Car. Its whisper-quiet ride and limousine-grade rear seat made it the car of choice for executives and flight crews moving through SFO — while the long-wheelbase stretch handled weddings, proms, and a night on the town.

A Sleeker Town Car, a Growing Fleet

Lincoln’s redesigned aerodynamic Town Car arrives, and our fleet grows with it. Roomy, dependable, and instantly recognizable at the curb, it cemented Airport Commuter as a name Bay Area travelers could count on for an on-time ride, every single time.

The Town Car at Its Peak

By the early 2000s the Town Car was the undisputed standard of the livery world, and ours were maintained to the minute. Corporate accounts, hotel concierges, and repeat travelers came to know our black Town Cars on sight — the same dependable service in a refined, modern package.

The Lincoln MKT “Town Car” Takes Over

When Lincoln retired the classic Town Car, its official livery successor — the Lincoln MKT Town Car — took its place in our fleet. More space, more technology, and the same purpose-built chauffeur pedigree, in both executive-sedan and extended limousine trims.

Four decades on, our fleet is built around today’s flagship luxury SUVs, executive vans, and motor coaches — so we can carry a single VIP or an entire conference with the same care that put us on the map in 1986.
