Terminal to downtown, priced before you get in.
Downtown Seattle is about 14 miles north of Seattle-Tacoma International, 20–35 min on a normal day and longer in the evening peak. The fare is a single flat number — $70 for a sedan carrying up to three passengers — and it covers tolls, taxes and airport access fees. There is no surge multiplier at any hour.
Give a flight number when you book and the pickup time tracks the aircraft, so a delay does not cost you the car. Domestic arrivals are collected at the door on the third floor by default, or the driver meets you inside baggage claim with a name board as a paid add-on.
Bigger party or a lot of luggage? The same run in an SUV, a 10- or 12-seat van or a 14-seat Sprinter is one booking and one price — no splitting across cars.

Common questions
How much is a ride from Sea-Tac to downtown Seattle?
$70 flat for a sedan (up to three passengers), per vehicle, not per person. Larger vehicles are a fixed amount more — the full table is above. The price includes tolls, taxes and airport fees, and never surges.
How long does the transfer take?
About 14 miles and 20–35 min in normal traffic. Allow extra in the weekday afternoon peak; the flat rate does not change either way.
Where does the driver meet me at the airport?
By default at the terminal door on the arrivals level once you have your bags. Add meet-and-greet and the driver waits inside baggage claim with a name board.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. You book the whole car and ride alone as a party — no shared seats and no stops added after you book.
