HOW WE RUN AIRPORT WORK
Airport work has no forgiveness in it. The flight moves, the bag count changes, the gate agent reassigns a seat, and the car still has to be in the right place. Ten years of Sea-Tac runs is mostly ten years of handling the days that did not go to plan.
Give us the airline and flight number at booking and dispatch works from the actual landing time, not the schedule you booked against. Land early and the car is moved up. Hold on the ramp waiting for a gate and nobody is standing at an empty curb wondering where you are.
Curbside is the standard airport pickup: your chauffeur texts you the meeting point and the vehicle description once you are on the ground. Meet-and-greet inside the terminal with a name board is a paid add-on you request at booking. Both are priced in the written quote.
Dispatch is staffed 24 hours on (206) 333-9605. For a pre-dawn departure that is the only proof point that matters, because what you are really buying is a phone that gets picked up when the airline moved your flight overnight. Same number at any hour.
ABOUT KAMO LIMO
Kamo Limo has been driving Seattle airport transfers for over ten years. The fleet is named on this page rather than described as luxury vehicles, because at an airport the vehicle is a capacity decision: Mercedes-Benz S560, Lexus LS, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln Continental sedans, Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon SUVs, and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter high-roof van for up to 14 passengers.
Most of what we do at the airport is unglamorous. It is knowing that a 9:40 PM arrival off the East Coast hits baggage claim at the same moment two other widebodies do. It is asking how many checked bags you have before sending a sedan to collect a family of four. It is calling you back at 4:15 AM because your carrier pushed the departure and you have not seen the email yet.
This page is written for one person: someone with a flight number, an airport, a bag count and a time, who wants to know exactly what will happen and exactly what it will cost before handing over a card. Everything below is either published policy or a clearly labeled estimate. Nothing is guessed at.
Alex G
Manager of Kamo Limo
Kamo Limo runs private airport car service across Seattle, serving Sea-Tac (SEA), Boeing Field (BFI) and Paine Field (PAE). You book a specific vehicle for a specific flight. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours, flights are tracked by number, and standard arrival pickup is curbside, with meet-and-greet inside the terminal available as a paid add-on.
A private airport transfer is a reservation, not a request. One vehicle is assigned to your flight, one chauffeur is assigned to that vehicle, and the price is agreed in writing before the day. Nothing is being matched to you at the moment you land.
Airport work is regulated work. Any vehicle carrying passengers for hire at Sea-Tac operates under a commercial for-hire permit and commercial insurance, and the person driving you is a professional chauffeur working under that permit, not a contractor who signed up last week.
This is the decision most travelers get wrong, usually by not knowing they had a decision to make. The honest comparison:
| Curbside pickup (standard, included) | Meet-and-greet inside the terminal (paid add-on) | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you meet the chauffeur | At the arrivals pickup area. Your chauffeur texts you the exact meeting point once you land, along with the vehicle description. | Inside the terminal, on foot, with a name board. Your chauffeur parks, walks in and finds you. |
| Who moves the bags | You bring the bags out; the chauffeur loads them at the vehicle. | The chauffeur takes the bags from you inside and walks them out. |
| Cost | Included in the transfer fare. | Charged as an add-on. Parking is part of why: the car goes into a garage rather than being held at a curb. |
| Best for | Solo business travelers, carry-on only, anyone who knows Sea-Tac and just wants to be moving. | First-time visitors, international arrivals, older passengers, anyone landing with four or more checked bags. |
| International arrivals | Works, but you clear immigration and customs first and the timing is less predictable. | Usually the better call. Somebody is standing where you emerge, which removes the worst ten minutes of an international arrival. |
| What goes wrong | You walk out of a different exit from the one you agreed. Fix: text your chauffeur before you leave baggage claim. | Very little, but it has to be booked in advance so parking time is in the schedule. |
| How to request it | Nothing to do. This is the default. | Ask at booking, or call (206) 333-9605 to add it to an existing reservation. |
We will not pretend Sea-Tac is a small airport. It has multiple concourses plus satellite gates reached by an underground train, and where you surface depends on your airline and whether you checked a bag. That is exactly why your chauffeur sends the meeting point after you land rather than before you fly.
A private sedan transfer between Sea-Tac and central Seattle typically runs in the region of $70 to $95, with SUVs and Sprinter vans above that. The table below is built from published market rates for comparable Seattle operators, so treat every figure as a planning range rather than a quote.
Estimate – final price confirmed in writing before you book.
| Route (each way) | Sedan, 1-3 passengers | SUV, 1-6 passengers | Sprinter van, 7-14 passengers |

| SEA to Ballard, Fremont, Magnolia | $80 – $110 | $105 – $145 | $195 – $260 |
| SEA to University District, Northgate | $85 – $115 | $110 – $150 | $205 – $275 |
| SEA to Boeing Field (BFI) | $65 – $90 | $90 – $120 | $165 – $230 |
| SEA to Paine Field (PAE), Everett | $115 – $150 | $145 – $190 | $250 – $330 |
| Boeing Field (BFI) to Downtown Seattle | $65 – $90 | $90 – $120 | $165 – $225 |
| Item | What it is | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Midnight to 5:00 AM, and certain public holidays | Published surcharge on transfers falling inside those hours or dates. | $66 |
| Gratuity | Not included in the fare. Recommended at 20% and entirely at the customer’s discretion. | 20% suggested |
| Military discount | Comes off the base fare, on base fares of $75 or more. Mention it when you request the quote. | 5% |
| Meet-and-greet inside the terminal | Chauffeur meets you inside with a name board and walks your bags out. | Paid add-on, quoted with your fare |
| Curbside arrival pickup | The standard arrangement for airport pickups. | Included |
| Extra stops or a second address | An additional pickup or drop-off on the same run. | Quoted before booking |
| Child seats | Ask at booking and tell us the child’s age and weight. | Confirmed in writing |
What moves a price: distance, vehicle size, the hour and whether the run is a straight line or has stops in it. All of that is settled before you book.
Dispatch works from your actual flight, not the time typed on the booking form. Give us the airline and flight number and that flight is monitored, with the chauffeur’s departure set against the real arrival. An aircraft delayed out of its origin city moves your pickup back without you doing anything. A tailwind that puts you down twenty minutes early moves it forward.
We do not publish a stopwatch figure for how a pickup is held, because the honest answer is that it depends on the situation and it is handled by a person on the phone rather than a policy line on a webpage. What we will commit to is this: dispatch is staffed 24 hours, a human answers (206) 333-9605, and the conversation about a changed flight happens before it becomes a problem.
If your flight is diverted, call as soon as the airline has told you what happens next. Land somewhere else in the region and still want a car, and we quote and run that instead; get rebooked onto tomorrow morning, and the reservation moves to the new flight.
Seattle’s early bank of departures means a large share of airport work here happens in the dark. The published surcharge on transfers falling between midnight and 5:00 AM, and on certain public holidays, is $66, and it appears in the written quote before you book rather than afterwards.
Practical advice for a pre-dawn flight: build the pickup around your airline’s check-in and bag-drop cutoff, not around the departure time. Roads are empty at 4:00 AM, which sounds like an argument for leaving later and rarely is, because the security queue at that hour is longer than people expect.
Airport transfers fail on luggage more often than on anything else. Use passengers and checked bags together, not passengers alone.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Plan on this many checked bags | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz S560, Lexus LS, Cadillac XTS or Lincoln Continental sedan | 1 – 3 | Two large checked bags plus carry-ons at two riders. Three riders with three large bags is a stretch; book up. | Solo business travel, couples, one-bag trips |
| Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade or GMC Yukon | 1 – 6 | Four to five checked bags plus carry-ons at four passengers. At six the third row is up and the cargo bay shrinks. | Families, ski and golf gear, small teams |
| Mercedes-Benz Sprinter high-roof van | Up to 14 | Fourteen riders with carry-ons, or roughly eight to ten riders with a full checked bag each | Crews, sports teams, multi-family trips |
Three rules that save people money. Oversized items (skis, golf clubs, bike boxes, cellos, strollers) count as more than one bag and should be named at booking. A group that fits one Sprinter is usually cheaper than the same group in two SUVs. And if you are between sizes, tell us the bag count and we will say which way to go. Full specifications live on the sedan, SUV and Sprinter service page.
Paine Field (PAE) is a small commercial passenger terminal in Everett, north of downtown Seattle. It is a genuinely easy airport to be collected from: one building, a short walk, none of the concourse geography that makes Sea-Tac complicated. Send the flight number the same way, and let us build the I-5 corridor into the timing.
Boeing Field (BFI) sits just south of downtown Seattle and handles private and business aviation. For a private departure, send the tail number, the fixed base operator you are using and the wheels-up time. Private aviation timings move, sometimes by a lot, which is an argument for calling dispatch directly rather than relying on a form.
No stock photography of cars that are not in the fleet. What you see below is what turns up: a Mercedes-Benz S560 at the departures curb, a Cadillac Escalade on a night arrivals pickup, a Sprinter loaded for a family group, and the open cargo bay of a Yukon with the suitcases in it, which is the real answer to the question people are asking when they ask how many bags fit.
This page covers flight-tied transfers only. If your trip is one of the below, the page linked answers it properly rather than in passing.
THE POWER OF KAMO LIMO
Sea-Tac (SEA) · Boeing Field (BFI) · Paine Field (PAE) · Downtown · Belltown · Pioneer Square · South Lake Union · Queen Anne · Capitol Hill · Ballard · Fremont · Magnolia · West Seattle · SODO · Georgetown · University District · Northgate
Quoted before you book and confirmed in writing. What we quote is what you pay, barring changes you ask for on the day.
Every booking is matched to your flight number and monitored from three hours out, so a delay moves the car, not your fare.
Red-eye landings and 5am departures are normal here. Someone always answers.
Plan on roughly $70 to $95 for a sedan and $95 to $125 for an SUV, each way. Those are estimates built from published market rates for comparable Seattle operators, and the final price is confirmed in writing before you book. Distance, vehicle size, the hour of the transfer and any extra stops all move the number, and a run between midnight and 5:00 AM carries the published $66 surcharge. Gratuity is not included; 20% is recommended and entirely at your discretion.
Curbside at the arrivals pickup area is the standard arrangement, and your chauffeur texts you the exact meeting point once your flight is on the ground, along with the vehicle description. That text comes after landing rather than before you fly, because where you surface at Sea-Tac depends on your airline and whether you checked a bag. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name board, meet-and-greet is a paid add-on and has to be requested at booking.
Dispatch tracks your flight and works from the actual landing time, so a delay moves your pickup without you calling from the air. Give us the airline and flight number at booking and that is all we need. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours on (206) 333-9605, so when something less routine happens, a long tarmac hold, a missed connection, a rebooking onto tomorrow, there is a person to talk it through with at any hour rather than a form to fill in.
Yes. Curbside pickup is standard and included in the transfer fare; meet-and-greet inside the terminal is a paid add-on, quoted with your fare before you book. The charge covers the chauffeur’s time on foot inside the building and the airport parking, since the vehicle goes into a garage rather than waiting at a curb. It earns its money on international arrivals, first-time visits to Sea-Tac and any landing with several checked bags.
Yes, dispatch is staffed 24 hours and pre-dawn departures are routine work in Seattle. Transfers falling between midnight and 5:00 AM carry a published $66 surcharge, as do certain public holidays, and it appears in your written quote rather than turning up afterwards. Build the pickup around your airline’s bag-drop cutoff rather than the departure time: the roads are empty at that hour, but the security queue is often busier than people expect.
No, gratuity is not included in the fare. A 20% gratuity is recommended and it is entirely at the customer’s discretion. We would rather say that plainly than fold a mandatory service charge into the headline number and let you find it on the receipt. Your written confirmation shows the fare, any midnight to 5:00 AM or holiday surcharge and any add-ons, so the only figure still open on the day is the one you choose.
Yes, we cover Paine Field (PAE) in Everett and Boeing Field (BFI) in Seattle, arrivals and departures. Paine Field is a small commercial terminal north of downtown, so pickups there are straightforward and the flight number is all we need. Boeing Field handles private and business aviation: send the tail number, the fixed base operator you are using and the estimated wheels-up or wheels-down time, then call dispatch directly if the schedule moves, because private schedules move a lot.
An SUV, a Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade or GMC Yukon, and it will be close on space. At five or six passengers the third row is in use and the cargo bay shrinks, so if any of those bags are oversized, or there are skis, golf clubs or a bike box in the count, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter high-roof van is the safer booking. Give us the real bag count when you book and we will tell you which way to go.
Call (206) 333-9605 as soon as the airline tells you what happens next, because re-routing a vehicle is a phone call rather than a new booking. If they land you elsewhere in the region and you still want a car from there, we quote and run that instead. If they rebook you onto a later flight, the reservation moves with you. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours, which matters here, because diversions rarely happen at a convenient time of day.
Yes, 5% off base fares of $75 or more. Mention it when you request your quote so it is applied before the price is confirmed in writing rather than adjusted afterwards, and it comes off the base fare. Whether a particular transfer clears the $75 threshold depends on the quoted fare for your route and vehicle, which is another reason to get the flight details to us early rather than guessing from a rate table.
As soon as you have the flight number, which is usually the moment you book the flight. Booking early gets you the specific vehicle you want rather than what is left, and that matters most for Sprinter van group transfers and for the heavy pre-dawn departure window. That said, dispatch is staffed 24 hours, so a same-day or overnight request is worth a call to (206) 333-9605 rather than an assumption that it is too late.
Six things: airline and flight number, date and time, terminal or concourse, number of passengers, number of checked bags, and the full street address at the other end. The flight number is the important one, because that is what dispatch tracks. Tell us at booking if you want meet-and-greet inside the terminal, if you need a child seat, if anyone has mobility needs, or if you are traveling with oversized items such as skis, golf clubs or a bike box.
Yes, and it is worth doing while both flight numbers are in front of you. The outbound and return are confirmed as separate transfers with separate prices, so you can see what each leg costs, and a return falling between midnight and 5:00 AM shows the $66 surcharge on its own line rather than averaged across the trip. If the return flight changes later, one call to dispatch on (206) 333-9605 updates the reservation.
For a 5:00 AM departure, a group with luggage, an international arrival or anything with a connection riding on it, yes: a private transfer is a reservation, with a specific vehicle, a named price agreed in writing and flight tracking behind it. For one passenger with a carry-on and a flexible afternoon, an app may well be cheaper, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the wrong thing. Compared with a taxi or an app, what you are paying for here is that the car is already assigned.
Fill in the form with your flight, airport, passenger count and checked-bag count, and we will come back with a price in writing. If you are inside 24 hours of the flight, or it is the middle of the night, call dispatch on (206) 333-9605 instead. Somebody is there.
