Route Description

You’ll travel east on Interstate 80 (I-80), passing through Sacramento before beginning the steady climb into the Sierra Nevada foothills. The most dramatic part of the drive is ascending the historic Donner Pass, which sits at an elevation of over 7,000 feet. This section offers incredible mountain scenery but can be challenging in winter – a perfect reason to rely on our experienced drivers.

Arrival at Northstar

From the summit, it’s a short drive down to Truckee and finally to the entrance of Northstar California Resort, completing your seamless journey from airport to adventure.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) – Northstar California Resort

The main route, I-80, crosses Donner Pass, which frequently experiences heavy snow, ice, and road closures in winter. California Highway Patrol often enforces chain controls. Our professional drivers are experienced in these conditions and our vehicles are properly equipped, ensuring you travel safely and without the stress of navigating winter roads yourself.

Absolutely. We are built for ski travelers. When booking, please specify the number of ski bags, snowboard bags, and large suitcases you will have. This allows us to assign the perfect vehicle with a ski rack or sufficient cargo space to ensure all your gear fits comfortably.

Yes. With a private transfer, your journey is your own. If you need to stop for food, coffee, or just to stretch your legs, simply let your driver know. Towns like Sacramento and Auburn offer plenty of convenient options.

Yes, your family’s safety is our priority. We can provide child seats and booster seats upon request. Please specify your needs (age/weight of the child) when you make your reservation so we can have them installed and ready for your arrival.

We recommend booking your shuttle from San Francisco Airport to North Star as far in advance as possible, especially if traveling during peak periods like holidays (Christmas, New Year’s, Presidents’ Day) or on weekends. This guarantees vehicle availability and gives you the best pricing.

It’s a hassle-free experience. You will receive detailed instructions before you travel, including your driver’s contact information. Our standard procedure is a “meet and greet” service at baggage claim, where your driver will be waiting with a sign bearing your name.
