Taxi will cost around $30. Sedan or limo should be no more than $40. The Mark is quite close to the Hertz and other city rental car facilities in case you want to return the car there. Of course you will have to deal with the SFO rental car ordeal to get your car. Public transit is not a viable option - yet. The BART requires a bus for the next year or so, and leaves you on Market Street, where you would need to take the Powell Street cable car to the Mark ($2 per person). And the express bus also leaves you in a pickle - at Fremont and Mission.

My favorite is to take one of the private vans. They are on the departure level at the drive farther from the terminal, at several spots at the airport. Costs $10 per person, and it can be relatively quick if you get one of the vans with few other passengers. But the Mark will be one of the last stops if there are other passengers. First stop tends to be the Hilton, the Marriott, etc.: the hotels closer to Market Street.
