Vandenberg Space Force Base, California
Seaside Transportation provides private car service for people visiting Vandenberg Space Force Base: contractors, visiting personnel, families attending ceremonies and launch visitors. We connect the base gates and Lompoc, Santa Maria and Orcutt hotels with LAX, Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) and Santa Maria Airport (SMX), with a professional chauffeur on every trip.
Vandenberg SFB questions
Only when access has been arranged. Vandenberg is a controlled-access installation, so the vehicle and driver can enter only if your sponsor or host has authorized them. Without that, we pick up and drop off outside the gate you name, or at your hotel in Lompoc, Santa Maria or Orcutt.
Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX) is the closest, about 25 to 35 minutes from most base gates, but has few routes. Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) is about an hour away with more nonstop flights. LAX, about 155 to 165 miles south, has the most flights. We provide private transfers to all three.
Yes. Contractors and visiting teams often need the same transfers several times a month: airport arrivals, hotel to base, and back. We can arrange recurring transportation with one company coordinator, a passenger list and the billing details your organization requires, using a sedan, SUV or Sprinter depending on the size of the team.
Yes, as a private hourly booking to a public viewing area off base. Launch times often move or slip by hours or days, so hourly service gives you flexibility. Share the planned launch window when you book, and we will confirm availability and a pickup plan that allows for changes.
A black BMW 7 Series sedan suits one to three travelers with 3 bags. A Chevrolet Suburban carries up to 6 passengers and 6 bags, which fits crews with equipment cases. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seats up to 14 for teams and family groups attending ceremonies on or near the base.
