Frequently asked questions

How much is a car service from LAX to Santa Barbara?

The one-way transfer is quoted live from your exact pickup and drop-off addresses. At roughly 100 miles it is priced from the vehicle's transfer minimum plus mileage — sedan, luxury SUV, First Class SUV and Sprinter each have their own rate — so enter your addresses for the exact price before you reserve.

How long does the drive from LAX to Santa Barbara take?

Roughly 100 miles via the 405 North and the 101, typically 2 hours off-peak and 2.5–3 hours in weekday traffic through the Valley and Ventura. Your chauffeur monitors traffic and your flight, so the pickup time is set from the actual landing time.

Can you drop off in Montecito, Goleta or Carpinteria?

Is the price the same from LAX to the city and back from the city to LAX?

Yes. The flat transfer rate is identical in both directions — LAX to the city or the city to LAX — because it is calculated from the same mileage. Enter your pickup and drop-off addresses for the exact live quote; there is no surge pricing either way.

How much is a round trip, and can I book both legs at once?

A round trip is simply two one-way transfers. Book the return as a separate reservation so each leg gets its own chauffeur, flight tracking and pickup time. Enter each leg's addresses for an exact quote before you reserve.

Do you track my flight for the LAX pickup?

Yes. We monitor the flight number on every airport reservation and adjust the pickup time automatically for early or delayed arrivals at no extra charge. Your chauffeur is dispatched based on the actual landing time, not the scheduled one.

Where does the chauffeur pick up at LAX?

Curbside pickups happen on the arrivals (lower) level outside your terminal — your chauffeur pulls up at the nearest pillar and texts the vehicle color, make and plate. Add meet & greet ($49, parking included) and the chauffeur parks in the terminal garage and waits inside baggage claim with a name sign.

How much free wait time is included?

Domestic arrivals include 30 minutes of free wait time after landing and international arrivals include 60 minutes, so clearing customs or a slow baggage claim never costs you extra.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations are free up to 8 hours before the scheduled pickup time.

When will my card be charged?

Your credit card will be charged once the reservation is confirmed.

What pickup time should I enter for an airport arrival?

Enter the arrival time shown on your flight reservation, plus your flight number. We track your flight and adjust the pickup automatically if it lands early or is delayed, so there's no need to add extra time or call us.
