Rides Planned Around the Coast

Santa Monica is compact but busy: beachfront hotels on Ocean Avenue, the Pier, Third Street Promenade, Main Street, and tech offices a few blocks inland. It is also close to LAX and sits right where the coast road heads north to Malibu.

Our Santa Monica limo service covers all of it, from airport transfers to wine tours. Chauffeurs are background-checked, drug-tested and trained in defensive driving, and we operate under a California Public Utilities Commission charter-party carrier permit with commercial insurance. Send a booking request online and our team contacts you to confirm.

Santa Monica to LAX for $75

LAX is about 11 miles south, typically 20–45 minutes depending on traffic. The flat rate is $75 in an executive sedan or $95 in a luxury SUV, with no hourly minimum, and includes meet and greet, luggage assistance and complimentary wait time.

Landing and heading to a beach hotel? Your flight is tracked in real time, so the pickup adjusts to an early or late arrival at no charge, and your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a name sign.

Free wait of 60 minutes for international and 30 for domestic flights, from actual landing
Child car seats and boosters free on request
Hollywood Burbank, Long Beach, John Wayne and Ontario airports also served

Beach Hotels, the Pier and Main Street

Hourly service, with a 3-hour minimum, lets you see several parts of the coast without juggling parking.

Ocean Avenue hotels

Start from your hotel and come back without looking for a garage. Palisades Park, on the bluffs above the beach, makes an easy first photo stop.

The Pier and Third Street Promenade

They sit a short walk apart, so get dropped at one and picked up at the other.

Main Street and Venice Beach

Main Street's shops and cafes lead south into Venice and its boardwalk. A stretch limousine for up to 10 turns a birthday into an evening along the coast; mention any sunset stop when you book.

Malibu Wine Tours Start Here

The Pacific Coast Highway leaves Santa Monica heading north, so a Malibu wine tour from here is on the coast road almost immediately. The package is $750 for 8 hours in a luxury SUV for up to 6 guests, with a customizable itinerary.

Temecula, Santa Barbara and Paso Robles tours are also available; see wine tours.

Coastal Weddings

A ceremony by the beach, a reception on Ocean Avenue, portraits on the bluffs at sunset: coastal weddings move around, and the transportation should move with them.

Our wedding package is $595 for 6 hours in a stretch limousine or luxury sedan, with a red carpet, decorated vehicle, "Just Married" signage, and ice and glassware for a toast in the stretch limo (champagne is BYOB, 21+). Guests at several hotels in Santa Monica, Malibu or Pacific Palisades? List every pickup when you book.

Book 2–4 weeks ahead; weddings may require a 50% deposit. Details are on our wedding limo page.

Santa Monica Ride Questions

Quick answers before you book.

How much time should I allow from Santa Monica to LAX?

The drive is about 11 miles and typically takes 20–45 minutes depending on traffic. Rush hours push toward the longer end, so plan the pickup with a cushion.

Can the wine tour start at our Santa Monica hotel?

Yes. The itinerary is customizable, so the 8 hours can begin at your hotel, rental or home. Mention any wineries you already have in mind.

Our Pier day ends in Venice. Do we need the car the whole time?

No. Book hourly to keep the chauffeur with you, or book two point-to-point rides: one to the Pier and one back from Venice. Either way, list both addresses when booking.
