Summerland questions

How long is the drive from Summerland to the airport?

Summerland is about 20 to 25 minutes from Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) outside rush hour. LAX is about 85 miles south, usually 1 hour 30 minutes with light traffic and 2.5 hours or more on weekday afternoons. Summerland is one of the closest South Coast towns to Los Angeles.

Where in Summerland do you pick up?

We pick up at homes throughout Summerland, including the hillside and Ortega Ridge neighborhoods and the Toro Canyon area, as well as at restaurants and shops along Lillie Avenue. For private estates, share gate codes, driveway notes and a contact number so the chauffeur can arrive at the right entrance on time.

Do you provide wedding transportation in Summerland?

Yes. Summerland and nearby Montecito and Carpinteria host many private estate weddings, where guest parking is often limited. We move the couple and guests between hotels and the venue, then provide late-evening returns. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seats up to 14 guests per run, which keeps cars off narrow estate roads.

Which vehicle should I book in Summerland?

For airport runs and dinners, a black BMW 7 Series sedan carries up to 3 passengers with 3 bags. A Chevrolet Suburban carries up to 6 passengers with 6 bags for families and golf trips. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seats up to 14 for wedding guests and event groups.
