Private car service in Santa Monica
Santa Monica is one of the busiest parts of the Westside: beach hotels, tech and media offices, the Third Street Promenade and the pier all packed into a few square miles. On a sunny weekend, traffic on Ocean Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway slows to a crawl and parking disappears.
With a RielVIP chauffeur, you're dropped at the door and picked up when you're ready, with no garages, no meters and no circling the block. You see your price before you confirm, and every ride is a private executive sedan or SUV.
LAX to Santa Monica
Santa Monica is one of the closest beach cities to LAX, about 9 miles and usually 20 to 40 minutes. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you at the terminal curb or inside with a name sign, and drives you to your hotel, home or office.
Flying private? Santa Monica Airport is right in town, and we also pick up at your FBO at Van Nuys Airport.
A chauffeur by the hour
Book an Hourly ride and your chauffeur stays with you for the whole booking. It's the easiest way to handle a day of meetings between Santa Monica, Venice and Culver City, a shopping afternoon on Montana Avenue and the Promenade, or dinner followed by drinks without worrying about the drive home.
Hourly bookings are also popular for:
- A scenic drive up Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu
- Office visits and client meetings on the Westside
- Weddings, parties and events at beach hotels
- Showing visiting family around the coast
Hotel and home pickups
We pick up at every Santa Monica hotel, from the beachfront hotels on Ocean Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway to smaller hotels downtown, plus homes and offices anywhere in the city. Your chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance or your front door. Booking for a guest? Add their name for the greeting sign and any details to Extra Notes.
Getting around the Westside
Santa Monica sits between Malibu, Brentwood, Venice and Marina del Rey, and the 10 freeway connects it to the rest of Los Angeles. The 10 and the 405 are some of the busiest freeways in the city at rush hour, so your chauffeur plans the route around traffic and leaves extra time for airport runs.

Santa Monica car service rates
Your fare is based on the distance of your trip and the vehicle you choose, or on the number of hours for Hourly bookings. You'll see the full price before you confirm. Tolls, parking and airport fees are only added when they apply, and they're shown to you before they're charged. 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.
