Because I spend a lot of time in the Napa Valley (I do some creative direction for a wine client there) and I don’t always rent a car, I’m aware of how hard it is to get an Uber to get there and back. Last week I met Jim Adamson, an excellent driver with a 6-seater car, who took me from St. Helena to the airport in Santa Rosa, the Charles Schulz Sonoma County Airport (side note: a great airport to fly into if you’re just going to Napa or the Sonoma Coast). Jim charges $200 for a pickup or dropoff at SFO or Oakland, which is pretty close to what Uber charges, but you can actually schedule him. He’s able to charge this rate (about $100 less than what an SF-based driver would charge) because he’s based in Napa. (707) 287-2306.
