SFO: Luggage Cart Cost

January 27, 2020 10:34 AM

I'll be departing SFO. I can't find the answer on official sites. Unofficially, it's $5, payable by cash or debit card. Is that true in 2020?

Best answer: This (page 11) says it's $6 at least as of last April.

If you have a couple minutes to spare and more than one person (so someone can stay with the luggage while the other goes to search), you can usually snag a free one if you look around a bit. Try going inside and looking near the check-in counters or taking a quick trip downstairs and looking on the arrivals curb.

If you need a cheap cart, head to international arrivals, as carts are free within the customs area and then people leave them en masse. It's downstairs from BART.
