Montecito Car Service & Private Chauffeur
Montecito moves at its own pace, and your transportation should too. Coastal Private Chauffeur provides private car service throughout Montecito, from the beach hotels along Channel Drive and Miramar to the homes and estates in the foothills. Your professional chauffeur arrives on time in a clean luxury SUV or sedan, handles the luggage and the route, and lets you enjoy the ride.
Whether you need a ride from Santa Barbara Airport, a transfer from LAX, a quiet evening out on Coast Village Road, or a full day in the Santa Ynez Valley, one call covers it. Reserve online or call (805) 729-7700.
Our Montecito Chauffeur Services
Airport transfers. We drive between Montecito and Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), Los Angeles International (LAX) and Hollywood Burbank (BUR). We track arriving flights in real time, so an early landing or a delay never leaves you waiting. Flying private? We meet aircraft at the private aviation terminals at SBA, including Signature Aviation and Golden West Jet Center. Meet and greet inside the terminal is available for an additional fee.
Hotel transfers. We pick up and drop off at Montecito's resorts and inns, so guests can go from the airport to check-in with no shuttles or rideshare waits.
Dining and events. Dinner on Coast Village Road, a gala, or a night downtown in Santa Barbara. Your chauffeur waits nearby and brings the car around when you're ready.
Hourly, as-directed service. Book a chauffeur by the hour for meetings, appointments, shopping, or a day of errands with several stops.
Wine country day trips. Spend the day in Santa Ynez, Los Olivos and Solvang while your chauffeur handles the drive over the mountain and back.
Weddings. Montecito is one of the Central Coast's favorite places to marry. We coordinate guest shuttles, couple transportation and VIP arrivals for the day.
