Airports

Monterey Regional Airport is the only airport that is less than an hour away from Carmel. If you must fly into any other airport, your options to get to Carmel would be to rent a car or reserve a ride from the Monterey Airbus, which can pick you up from SFO or SJC and take you straight to your hotel. More costly options would be reserving a Super Shuttle, or taking a taxi, Uber or Lyft.
