Seattle airport / private cars

Looking for a private car service from the airport to downtown.
Do we need to reserve one or are they outside near the taxis ?
Thanks ....

Reserve ahead. This one looks good. http://www.seattleviptransportation.com/
It should be slightly cheaper than a taxi but a lot more than the light rail that runs from the airport to downtown depending on the time of day.

We use Shuttle Express and have for many years. They have shared vans as well as private cars. Reserve ahead though.

Having had lots of experience at SeaTac with taxis, car services, limos, and shuttles, we prefer a taxi.

There's a towncar concession that picks up right next to the taxi stand on the third floor of the parking garage (skybridge from the terminal, then down one.) I prefer the towncars to the cabs as they're the same price but way roomier and more comfortable, especially if you're traveling with a lot of luggage. No need to book in advance, although you might have to wait a little while if you're arriving at a very busy time.

Agreeing with Gardyloo above. The towncars are right next to the Yellow Cab taxi stand in the parking garage where you get any of the ground transportation options. No need to reserve ahead. They are $50 into downtown.
