We'll be coming back as a family of four to SFO (arriving Terminal 1) with a fair bit of luggage, so we'll need to either book an Uber/Lyft XL or get a taxi van. The XL option still involves a schlep to the garage, whereas the taxi van would be easier (also with smaller kid in tow, late evening).

Never taken a taxi van from SFO: does anyone know how long the wait would be? And any idea of the relative cost compared with regular cab?

Presumably prebooked car transfers would also involve going to the parking garage? If not, that may be the best option?

thanks,
