SeaTac to Bainbridge Island car service

No bridge links Seattle to Bainbridge Island, so the usual route from SeaTac runs north to Colman Dock, the Seattle Ferry Terminal, and across the water by ferry. Our Bainbridge Island car service plans the whole journey around your flight and the sailing, in both directions, so you are never left guessing at the terminal.

Minimum times in normal traffic, including the vehicle check-in Washington State Ferries asks for. The wait for your sailing comes on top, and schedules change by season.

Two ways across

  • Stay with the car

    Where available, cross in the vehicle and keep your luggage with you, one car from the curb at SeaTac to your door. Vehicles wait in the terminal’s holding lanes, and summer weekends and holidays can mean a long line.

  • Walk on

    Your chauffeur drops you at the passenger entrance at Colman Dock and you board on foot, clear of the vehicle line. A car on the Winslow side can be arranged on request.

Which suits your trip depends on the sailing, your luggage and the season. Dispatch confirms the plan, and how the ferry fare is handled, before you commit.

Services

Services on Bainbridge Island.

Most services can start or end on the island, from a single airport transfer to limo and black car service for a wedding day, planned around the sailings and confirmed with your quote, with the same chauffeurs and the same standard of care.

Allow at least 90 minutes door to door, plus the wait for your sailing. The parts add up like this: about 25 minutes from SeaTac to Colman Dock in normal traffic; check-in before the boat, where Washington State Ferries asks drivers to be in the tollbooth line at least 20 minutes ahead (walk-on passengers about 15); a crossing of about 35 minutes to the Winslow terminal; then unloading and the drive on to your address. Waterfront traffic, the season and the sailing schedule can all add time, so share your flight when you book and dispatch builds the plan around a sailing that fits.

Work back from your flight: the time you want at the airport, around 25 minutes from Colman Dock to SeaTac, the crossing of about 35 minutes and check-in on the island, at least 20 minutes before the sailing for a car. Then choose a sailing with room to spare, because vehicle lines can be long on summer weekends and holidays. Tell us your flight and preferred sailing when you book and dispatch sets the pickup time.

It depends on your trip, and dispatch confirms what is available before you commit. Where the car can cross with you, you and your luggage stay together from SeaTac to your door, but vehicles queue in the holding lanes and can wait for a later sailing. Walking on avoids that queue: your chauffeur drops you at the passenger entrance at Colman Dock, and a car on the island side can be arranged on request. Your quote spells out how the ferry fare is handled.

We track your flight, so the SeaTac pickup moves with your actual landing time. If that means a later sailing, dispatch re-plans the ferry leg and keeps you posted. Sailings can also run late or be cancelled, in which case your chauffeur works to the next available crossing. If the change affects your rate, we confirm it with you first.

Yes. Walk-on passengers arriving in Seattle are met at the Seattle Ferry Terminal (Colman Dock) at Pier 52 on the downtown waterfront, for a ride to SeaTac, a hotel or the cruise piers. Curbside traffic on Alaskan Way changes from day to day, so your chauffeur texts the exact meeting point before the boat docks.

There is a road route: south past Tacoma, over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and north through Kitsap County to the Agate Pass Bridge. It is a much longer drive than the crossing, so it is rarely the first choice, but on a day with long ferry lines it can be worth asking about. Your quote reflects whichever route you choose before you confirm.
