Westside · Los Angeles County
From the iconic Santa Monica Pier to the upscale boutiques of Montana Avenue, Santa Monica blends coastal living with cosmopolitan energy. Our car service connects you seamlessly to LAX in just 20 minutes, whisks you to Downtown LA for meetings, or drives you up PCH to Malibu for dinner. Every ride comes with ocean-view pickups and a chauffeur who knows every shortcut through the Westside.
Estimated one-way prices for a pickup in central Santa Monica. Your exact fixed price is shown before you pay, based on your address — no surge pricing, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
Santa Monica riders book a lot of airport runs, from hotel guests heading home to residents catching early flights. Evenings bring dinner rides up Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu or across town to Downtown LA, trips where parking and the I-10 make driving yourself less appealing. Offices along Colorado Avenue and Olympic Boulevard add rides for visiting clients and meetings around the Westside.
Main routes
Neighborhoods we pick up in
Third Street Promenade is closed to cars, so give a cross street such as Wilshire Boulevard, Arizona Avenue, Santa Monica Boulevard or Broadway as your pickup point instead of a store address.
On summer weekends the blocks around the pier and Ocean Avenue fill with beach traffic by late morning, so plan hotel pickups along the beach a little earlier than you would on a weekday.
The I-10 between Santa Monica and Downtown LA is heavily congested on weekday evenings, so for a concert or dinner downtown, leave by mid-afternoon or move the reservation later.
The pier begins where Colorado Avenue meets Ocean Avenue, with a sign marking the traditional end of Route 66, and its approach gets crowded on summer evenings and weekends.
The Promenade is a pedestrian-only stretch of Third Street from Wilshire Boulevard to Broadway, lined with shops and restaurants a few blocks from the pier.
Shutters sits on the sand just south of the pier at the foot of Pico Boulevard, a short walk from the shops and cafes on Main Street.
Casa del Mar, a restored 1920s beach club, stands next door to Shutters facing the ocean at the northern edge of Ocean Park.
Montana Avenue’s boutiques and cafes line the north side of the city for blocks, and an hourly car lets you work your way along the street without parking at each stop.
