Call or Text First
We are often on the road, and we do not touch the phone while driving, so a text is the surest way to reach us fast. If you call and we are with a client, leave a short message and we call back as soon as we are parked.
There is no phone tree and no call center here. You reach the people who actually drive the car.
What to Send Us
You do not need to write much. Send the date and time, your pickup spot, and where you are going. Something like: “Tuesday the 14th, 6 a.m., pickup in Goleta, going to LAX.” We come back with your flat rate, you reply yes, and the ride is set.
If your plans have moving parts, like a flight number or a couple of stops, just tell us what you know and we will sort out the rest.
When We Are Available
We drive around the clock, seven days a week, and early mornings are a specialty. A lot of our work is four and five a.m. departures for early flights. Booking ahead is the safe move for holiday weeks, summer weekends, wine country Saturdays, and UCSB graduation and parents weekends, which fill first.
Need something today or tomorrow? Reach out anyway, and if we can fit you in, we will.
Where We Pick Up
We are based in Santa Barbara and pick up across the coast and into Los Angeles, from Montecito and Goleta to Malibu, Beverly Hills, and Downtown LA. Airport pickups cover SBA, LAX, Burbank, John Wayne, and Ontario.
Send your flight number and we track the flight ourselves, so a delay never leaves you waiting on a curb.
Questions People Ask Most
- Is the quote the final price?Yes, the flat rate on any Santa Barbara car service ride is what you pay.
- Can you book for someone else?All the time, just give us their name and number.
- Do you do round trips and the long run to LAX?Yes, and on the run to LAX the Denali seats up to six with luggage.
- What about car seats?Tell us the ages of the kids when you book and we will arrange the right setup.
What Every Ride Includes
Whatever you are booking, the ride comes with the same standard: the black-on-black 2025 GMC Yukon Denali, detailed before pickup, with room for up to six and the luggage. Flight tracking on every airport run, free wait time when your flight is late, and help with the bags at both ends.
Cold water and phone chargers in the back, climate set the way you like it, and a quiet cabin if you want to work or rest. Early arrival is the standard, and it is all part of your flat rate.
Booking for Family and Guests
A lot of what we do is rides booked for someone else. Parents set up airport runs for students at UCSB, adult children arrange rides for parents who would rather not drive at night, and assistants book travel for busy executives.
Tell us who we are picking up and the best number to reach them, and they get the same early arrival, the same clean car, and the same flat price you would. We text them when we are outside, so nobody is left wondering.
