Santa Barbara has its own airport, but LAX offers far more nonstop and international flights, which makes the run down the coast a common trip.
It is a long transfer along essentially one road, so the start time matters more than anything else.
What to know about this transfer
The route follows the 101 south along the coast through Ventura and Camarillo, then the 405 south toward the airport. The 405 through the Sepulveda Pass is usually the slowest stretch.
Pickups cover State Street, the Funk Zone, and hotels and homes across Santa Barbara. Wine tour charters to the Santa Ynez Valley can be booked separately.
Return pickups from LAX include flight tracking, so a late arrival moves the pickup automatically before the drive north.
Booking this route
