Rental Car
Airports We suggest flying into one of these three airports: Monterey Regional Airport MRY (20-minute drive to Carmel Valley), San José Mineta International Airport SJC (1.5-hour drive), or San Francisco International Airport SFO (2-hour drive). Rideshare/Taxi vs Car Rental If you're flying in, we suggest renting a car from the airport, taking a taxi, or using a rideshare app to travel to your hotel. Be warned that booking a rideshare to Carmel Valley is easy, but it's difficult to book from within the secluded town. If you choose to rideshare from Carmel Valley Village to the airport, consider scheduling your ride in advance within the app. Otherwise, buffer 15-45 minutes for the app to find you an available driver. However, if you'd like to visit the larger tourist destination of Monterey (25-min drive), or Carmel-by-the-Sea (20-min drive), consider renting a car. Weekend traffic to and from Carmel Valley can add another 10-15 minutes.
