Questions about this ride

How long is the drive from Thousand Oaks to Santa Barbara?

Thousand Oaks to Santa Barbara is approximately 55 miles via the 101 North, about 55 minutes. Morning departures typically have the lightest traffic.

Can we go from Thousand Oaks to the Santa Ynez Valley wineries instead of Santa Barbara?

Yes. Drop-off can be anywhere, and Highway 154 over the San Marcos Pass from Santa Barbara leads to Los Olivos and the Santa Ynez Valley tasting rooms. For a full day between wineries, book by the hour (2-hour minimum) so the chauffeur stays with you. Allow about 90 minutes from Thousand Oaks to the valley.

Can we stop in Ventura or Carpinteria on the way?

Yes. Ventura’s Main Street and Carpinteria’s small beach town sit right off the 101, so a coffee or lunch stop adds little driving. Add the stop when you book so the timing and fixed price include it. On summer weekends the Rincon stretch north of Ventura can slow, so leave a little extra time.

How much is a car service from Thousand Oaks to Santa Barbara?

A one-way ride (about 55 miles) is $328 in Business Class, $458 in Business SUV, $595 in First Class. That is the fixed price for a typical pickup in Thousand Oaks; the exact price for your address is shown before you pay, with no surge pricing and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
