Skip the parking-garage pickup
At John Wayne Airport, standard Uber and Lyft rides don't pick up at the terminal curb. Riders cross the roadway and take an elevator up to the rideshare level of the parking structure, then look for their car there. With luggage and a tired family, that walk adds up.
RielVIP chauffeurs hold the permits required to pick up at SNA, so your car meets you at the arrivals curb, right outside baggage claim. You collect your bags, step outside, and you're on your way. And you know your price before you book.
How your John Wayne Airport pickup works
- Book at least 5 hours ahead. Add your airline and flight number when you book. You'll see your price before you confirm.
- We track your flight. Your chauffeur follows your real arrival time, not the time printed on your ticket. If your flight is delayed by more than an hour, call or text us at (213) 822-7658.
- Choose how you want to be met. Pick curbside pickup or Meet & Greet inside baggage claim.
- Take your time at baggage claim. Waiting is free for 30 minutes after a domestic landing and 60 minutes after an international landing.
Curbside pickup or Meet & Greet
Curbside pickup is the quickest option. After baggage claim, walk out to the arrivals-level curb in front of your terminal, where your chauffeur pulls up.
Meet & Greet means your chauffeur waits inside baggage claim holding a sign with your name, or any text you choose when you book. They help with your luggage and walk you to the car. It's the easiest choice for first-time visitors, families, and guests you're booking a ride for.
Terminals A, B and C
John Wayne Airport has three terminals, A, B and C, lined up along one roadway. We pick up at all of them. Your flight number tells us which terminal you're arriving at, so you don't need to sort that out yourself.
SNA also handles international flights, mainly to and from Mexico and Canada. International arrivals include 60 minutes of free waiting to cover passport control and customs.
Early flights out of SNA
John Wayne Airport has one of the strictest noise rules of any US airport, so there are no very early or late-night departures. That pushes a lot of flights into the first departure bank of the morning, when security lines can be at their longest. Book your ride to arrive about 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one, and we'll drop you at the departures curb of your terminal.
Vehicles for your SNA transfer
Choose from executive sedans and SUVs, including our Premium SUV and Executive SUV. The seats and luggage space for each vehicle are listed below. Pick one with room for your bags, not just your passengers — golf clubs, strollers and extra suitcases add up fast.

John Wayne Airport car service rates
Your fare is based on the distance of your trip and the vehicle you choose. You'll see the full price before you confirm your booking. Tolls, parking and airport fees are only added when they apply, and they're shown to you before they're charged — the toll roads around Irvine are a common one. Prepaid bookings already include a minimum gratuity. If your plans change, cancel at least 12 hours before your pickup to avoid being charged the full fare.
