Santa Barbara Private Transportation: Groups Up to 27

Your own schedule, a driver who knows the roads, no planning the logistics.

Private transportation service in Santa Barbara and the surrounding wine country (Solvang, Santa Ynez, Goleta) for groups of 1 to 27 people. You choose the duration, 5 to 10 hours, and the destination. The service handles pickup, a professional driver, air-conditioned vehicle, and bottled water. Book an Executive Coach or the all-electric Rivian R1S with heated and cooled seats, Wi-Fi, and a glass roof.

The experience

You set the itinerary. Whether it's a wine tour through Santa Ynez, a run of restaurants in Solvang, airport pickups at Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo, a corporate outing, or a bachelor party that spans multiple stops, the driver arrives on time and you don't coordinate the route yourself. The service operates within a 120-mile radius of Lompoc, so day trips into Paso Robles wine country or along the Central Coast stay within reach. Pick your duration (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 hours), and the vehicle that fits your group.

Two fleet options let you choose the experience. The Executive Coach seats larger groups and works for corporate events, high school reunions, and multi-stop itineraries where comfort matters. The Rivian R1S is the all-electric alternative: it seats six, has heated and cooled middle-row seats, Wi-Fi, passenger-controlled Bluetooth audio, and a glass roof that opens up the view. Both vehicles come with air conditioning, bottled water, and a driver who handles the navigation so your group can focus on the day itself.

Pickup is included, and the service accommodates infants and small children in a pram or stroller. Service animals are welcome. The driver arrives on time, which is what makes a full day of stops, or a single critical transfer, actually work without anyone managing the clock.

Is this one for you?Choose the Executive Coach for larger groups and corporate events where capacity matters. Pick the Rivian R1S if your group is six or fewer and you want the comfort of heated and cooled seats and the open-air experience of the glass roof. Book the hours that match your itinerary (a 5-hour airport transfer, a full 10-hour wine country day, or anything in between), so you're not paying for time you don't use.
