Transportation to RSA Conference 2027
Quick answer: The most reliable transportation to RSA Conference 2027 (April 5–8, Moscone Center, San Francisco) is a pre-booked private car. SFDRIVEN, a CPUC-licensed carrier (TCP #38075), offers flight-tracked airport pickups, hotel-to-Moscone transfers, Sprinter vans for booth teams and hourly black cars for executive meetings. Book early, because SUVs and vans sell out first during RSA week.
RSAC 2027 runs Monday, April 5 through Thursday, April 8, 2027, in San Francisco. According to the organizers, the event draws about 44,000 attendees, 500 sessions and 600 exhibitors. As a result, SoMa hotels, curbs and rideshare queues fill up quickly that week. SFDRIVEN provides private transportation to RSA Conference for security leaders, sponsor teams and booth staff who cannot afford to miss a keynote, a customer meeting or a flight home.
RSAC 2027 Key Facts for Travel Planning
Before you book flights and cars, here are the facts that shape RSA week transportation. Always confirm the final agenda on the official RSAC Conference website, since session and expo times are published closer to the event.

How Should I Plan RSAC 2027 Transportation Day by Day?
RSA week has a clear rhythm, and your car plan should follow it. Here is how a typical attendee or sponsor team moves through the week.
- Sunday, April 4 – Arrivals: Most attendees fly in on Sunday, so SFO arrivals peak in the afternoon and evening. Meanwhile, exhibitor teams often need an earlier pickup for booth setup and badge collection.
- Monday, April 5 – Opening day: Morning drop-offs are the tightest of the week because everyone arrives at once. Therefore, we schedule hotel pickups earlier than on later days.
- Tuesday and Wednesday – Peak meetings: These are the heaviest days for customer meetings, vendor parties and sponsored dinners. For this reason, hourly service works best for executives with back-to-back plans.
- Thursday, April 8 – Closing and departures: Many attendees leave straight from Moscone to SFO. Consequently, we time airport runs to beat the afternoon rush on US-101 South.
Private Car vs Rideshare vs BART During RSA Week
Each option has a place. However, the right choice depends on your schedule, luggage and how much a delay would cost you. This comparison shows the trade-offs.
| Factor | Pre-booked private car | Rideshare | BART from SFO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guaranteed vehicle | Yes, reserved in advance | No, depends on demand | Not applicable |
| Flight tracking | Yes | No | No |
| Luggage and demo gear | Matched to vehicle size | Limited | Carry it yourself |
| Group of 6–14 together | One SUV or Sprinter van | Several separate cars | Possible, but slow with bags |
| Door-to-door | Yes, to your hotel or Moscone entrance | Yes, when a car is available | No, walk from the downtown station |
| Best for | Executives, teams, tight schedules | Short solo trips off-peak | Solo travelers with light bags |
Airport Transportation to RSA Conference
Every SFDRIVEN airport pickup is flight-tracked, so your chauffeur adjusts to early or late arrivals. In addition, your driver waits 30 minutes free after a domestic flight reaches the gate, or 45 minutes after an international one. Curbside pickup is standard; however, a baggage-claim meet-and-greet with a name sign is available for an additional fee.
SFO to Moscone Center
SFO is about 14 miles south of Moscone Center. Outside rush hour, the drive usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. However, on Sunday evening and Thursday afternoon it can easily stretch to 45 minutes or more. For a dedicated airport transfer, see our SFO black car service.
OAK to RSA Conference
Oakland is a good alternative when fares or flight times work better. The route crosses the Bay Bridge, so plan on roughly 25 to 50 minutes depending on bridge traffic. Learn more about our Oakland airport car service.
SJC to RSA Conference
San José works well for attendees combining RSAC with Silicon Valley meetings. Because it is around 45 miles from Moscone, the ride often takes an hour or longer. Still, a quiet private car makes that time useful for calls and email. See our San José airport car service.
Private Jet and FBO Arrivals
Flying privately into SFO or another Bay Area FBO? Send the FBO name and tail number with your booking, and your chauffeur will meet you at the FBO. See our private jet limo service.
Exhibitor and Sponsor Transportation for RSAC
Booth teams have very different needs from attendees. They arrive before the conference opens, carry demo equipment and swag, and often work staggered shifts. For that reason, a Sprinter van on a fixed hotel-to-Moscone loop is usually the most efficient choice.
We can also split a sponsor program into two parts: a van for booth staff and a separate black car for executives who leave the floor for customer meetings. That way, one late meeting never holds up the whole team. For delegations larger than one van, minibuses and motorcoaches are also available.
Executive and CISO Transportation During RSA Week
For many security leaders, the most important part of RSA week happens outside the session rooms. Customer briefings, analyst meetings and private dinners are spread across SoMa, Union Square and the Financial District. Therefore, we recommend hourly black car service, so the chauffeur stays with you between stops.
Privacy matters in the security industry. Accordingly, we can provide unmarked vehicles on request, and our chauffeurs are background-checked and used to confidential calls on the road. Moreover, if you are hosting CISOs or customers, we can collect each guest from their own hotel and bring everyone to the same restaurant on time.
