This airport has always been an easy in and out. The luggage is always pretty quick and the rental car bus gets you to your car quickly. I fly in here and then drive a few hours north to my office in Redding. This is a little far out from the main city but if your just passing through Sacramento is a pretty cool looking town. Oh and also drive to Tahoe from Sac. It's one of the most beautiful drives ever!!
My flights have always been on time and my luggage has always been put on the belt quickly. I am a fan of this place! The airport is not huge so it's never an overwhelming experience.
