Walnut Creek is Contra Costa County's downtown — Broadway Plaza, the Lesher Center for the Arts, and Mount Diablo on the skyline — and Global Link Transportation arranges limo and black car service across it, from Oakland International Airport (OAK) to downtown Walnut Creek, the BART station, and the hotels and venues around the city. A chauffeur handles the airport run, the cross-Bay Area trip to San Francisco, or a full day of meetings and events across the East Bay, with a sedan, SUV, limousine, or Sprinter to match the party. Book an airport transfer or an hourly chauffeur and your car is confirmed before you land.
Pickup points cover the whole city: OAK, SFO, and SJC terminals, the Walnut Creek BART station, the Walnut Creek Marriott, Renaissance ClubSport, John Muir Health Walnut Creek Medical Center, Broadway Plaza, the Lesher Center for the Arts, and the Shadelands business park. The drive from OAK to Walnut Creek is about 30–40 minutes via I-880 and I-580/I-680 — OAK is Walnut Creek's closest airport; SFO is roughly 50–60 minutes, downtown San Francisco about 35–45 minutes via the Bay Bridge, and SJC about an hour via I-680. Airport pickups include flight tracking and a name-sign meet at arrivals, with the airline and flight number taken at booking.
Walnut Creek is where OAK flyers, wedding parties, and Lesher Center audiences book most — a family flying into OAK for a weekend in the East Bay, a couple heading to a ceremony at the Gardens at Heather Farm or Shadelands Ranch Museum, or theatergoers arriving for an evening at the Lesher Center is a routine day here, and the service runs 24 hours. Corporate travelers book for the downtown offices and the Shadelands business park, and medical families book for appointments at John Muir Health. A Sprinter keeps a wedding party or a group together instead of several separate cars; a sedan or SUV suits a solo traveler or a couple.
A Walnut Creek booking can also be the start of a longer day: an OAK pickup that continues to a Napa Valley or Sonoma wine tour, a corporate roadshow down the Peninsula, or a wedding weekend. Hourly chauffeur service carries a 4-hour minimum, and airport transfers come with fixed fares and no surge pricing.
