Traveling with Kids? Here’s Why Marin Airporter Is a Family-Friendly Choice

If you’re flying out of SFO with kids in tow, you’ve already got enough on your mind. Snacks? Packed. iPad? Charged. Stuffed animal? Hopefully not left on the kitchen counter.

What you shouldn’t have to worry about is how you’re getting to the airport.

Whether you’re heading out on a big family vacation or flying solo with a toddler and a stroller that folds almost as easily as the video showed, Marin Airporter is hands-down one of the most family-friendly airport transportation options in the Bay Area.

Here’s why smart parents choose us—and why your future self will thank you.

1. Kids Under 12 Ride Free

Let’s just start with the good news: children under 12 ride free with a paying adult. That means if you’ve got two parents and two kids? You’re paying for two tickets, not four. Math has never looked so good.

It’s one of the easiest ways to save on family travel to SFO, and there are no complicated forms, blackout dates, or fine print. Just show up, show your ticket, and you’re good to go.

2. Space to Spread Out

Let’s be honest—getting a family into a rideshare can feel like a low-stakes version of packing a clown car. Car seats, backpacks, your child’s emotional support dinosaur… it all adds up fast.

Marin Airporter coaches have room to move, stash, and breathe. That means you can bring your bags, strollers, and whatever else you need without playing luggage Tetris. Kids get a real seat. You get a break from balancing a diaper bag on your lap. Everybody wins.

3. Onboard Restrooms: We Thought of That Too

Traveling with kids means traveling on their schedule. Which is why it helps that every Marin Airporter bus comes equipped with an onboard restroom. No need to make a last-minute pit stop or pull over for an “emergency” that turns out to be… not so urgent.

For families heading to the airport from Marin, especially on longer rides, that peace of mind is everything.

4. Friendly Drivers Who Understand You’re Doing Your Best

We know that traveling with kids can be loud, unpredictable, and occasionally involve a meltdown over a granola bar. Our drivers have seen it all—and they’re here to help, not judge.

They’ll assist with loading bags, answer questions, and get you where you need to go with calm professionalism. And unlike trying to juggle everything while hunting for a rideshare pickup at SFO, the Airporter drops you right at your terminal, with no loops or chaos.

5. The App Makes It Easier (Because Your Hands Are Full)

Download the Marin Airporter app to buy tickets ahead of time, track your bus, and get real-time arrival updates. That means no paper tickets, no scrambling at the last minute, and one less thing to think about.

A Smart Choice for SFO Travel with Kids

Whether you’re heading to Disneyland, grandma’s house, or just trying to survive your first flight as a family, Marin Airporter is here to make at least one part of the trip easier.

We offer affordable, comfortable, and family-friendly transportation to and from SFO, with amenities built around real life (and real kids).
