DIRECT BOOKING
Santa Monica, CA group transportation, driven by us
A Santa Monica night out, wedding or shuttle run books straight through us — one call, one contract, one number to ring on the day. Groups flying in land at LAX, and we stage for the walk-out rather than circling. Give us your stops and we will quote the hours honestly rather than guessing high.
Tell us the date, the headcount and the stops. We come back with the vehicle, the hours and the price in writing, and you decide from there. Call (844) 725-4257 or open the live chat if you would rather talk it through.

What do you need to lock in a Santa Monica coach or limo?
Book by sending the date, the party size and the Santa Monica stops you have confirmed. Year-round, with peaks in summer (June–August) and awards season (January–March) is our busiest window here, so earlier dates get more vehicle choice. You will know which vehicle is coming and what it costs before the date.

Licensing and street rules in Santa Monica
- Federal open-container guidelines under 23 U.S.C. 154 do not reach passengers of a vehicle used primarily to carry people for compensation, which is the category a chartered coach or limousine sits in.
- Any leg of a charter that crosses a state line runs under USDOT passenger-carrier authority registered with the FMCSA, and the DOT number is displayed on the vehicle.
These are our problem, not yours — but knowing them explains why some stops need a different pickup point.
