Car Service Rancho Bernardo: Black SUV Airport Rides 24/7

Trip Limo Service is the car service Rancho Bernardo residents, visitors and business travelers can book for a private black SUV and a professional chauffeur, for airport rides, business trips and nights out across San Diego County. Rancho Bernardo sits along Interstate 15 in the northern part of the City of San Diego, about 30 miles from San Diego International Airport. That distance is too long for an easy taxi ride and too far to want to park a car at the airport for a week. Trip Limo Service picks you up at your door, at your office or at your hotel, and you see the fixed price before you book.

Quick answer: book a black SUV (Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon XL or Chevrolet Suburban) for up to 6 passengers and 5 large bags. The drive from Rancho Bernardo to San Diego Airport usually takes about 35 to 45 minutes without heavy traffic. The fixed price per vehicle covers the SUV, chauffeur, fuel and tolls. We run 24/7 with no night surcharge. Hourly bookings have a 3-hour minimum.

Book Your Ride

Why book a chauffeur in Rancho Bernardo

Rancho Bernardo is a large inland community of homes, golf courses, office parks and resort hotels. Most of what people need from it, such as the airport, downtown, the beaches and Los Angeles, is a long freeway drive away. A private car service makes those drives simple.

The I-15 commute is real. Weekday traffic between Rancho Bernardo and central San Diego can be slow. Your chauffeur handles the merges and you rest, work or make calls.
No airport parking. You skip long-term parking fees and the shuttle ride back to your car after a trip.
Public transit does not reach the airport directly. MTS Rapid buses on I-15 stop in Rancho Bernardo and run to downtown San Diego, but you still need another connection to the terminals, with all your bags.
Visitors stay without a car. Guests at a Rancho Bernardo resort or a family home often do not want to rent a car just for one or two trips.
One price for the whole group. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so a family or a team of six shares one fare.

Our fleet: black SUVs only

Every ride uses a late-model black SUV: a Cadillac Escalade, a GMC Yukon XL or a Chevrolet Suburban. Each one seats up to 6 passengers with up to 5 large bags. For a bigger group, book a second SUV. You can see the vehicles on our fleet page.

Wi-Fi and phone charging in every SUV.
Bottled water on board.
Child seats on request: infant, toddler or booster, $20 each, up to 2 per vehicle.
Licensed, background-checked and drug-tested chauffeurs, with full commercial insurance on every vehicle.

Car services we offer in Rancho Bernardo

San Diego Airport (SAN) rides

This is our most common Rancho Bernardo trip. For a departure, we pick you up at home and drop you at your terminal. For an arrival, your chauffeur tracks your flight and meets you at the curb outside arrivals. If you prefer to be met inside, add Meet & Greet for $30: the chauffeur waits at baggage claim with a name sign. We wait up to 1 hour after landing at no extra charge. Read more on our San Diego airport car service page.

LAX and Ontario airport rides

Some flights are cheaper or more direct from Los Angeles. We drive from Rancho Bernardo to LAX, and we also pick up at LAX for the ride home to Rancho Bernardo and the rest of San Diego County. See our San Diego to LAX car service for timing tips. Ontario International Airport (ONT) is often the closer Los Angeles-area airport from inland North County, straight up I-15. Our Ontario airport guide explains that trip.

Cruise terminal and private jets

We drive to and from the downtown San Diego cruise terminal. We also serve private jet terminals at McClellan-Palomar (Carlsbad), Montgomery-Gibbs (Kearny Mesa), Brown Field and Gillespie Field.

Business travel and corporate accounts

Rancho Bernardo has large office parks and corporate campuses along its main roads. Visiting teams fly in, stay at local hotels and need rides between the airport, the hotel, the office and client dinners. Corporate accounts get 10% off. Learn more on our corporate car service page.

Hourly service

For a day with many stops, book by the hour with a 3-hour minimum. Good uses are a site-visit day, a golf day, a wedding, or dinner and a show downtown. The chauffeur stays with you between stops. Book on our hourly booking page.

Events and days out

We drive Rancho Bernardo riders to Petco Park, Snapdragon Stadium, Pechanga Arena, the Del Mar racetrack and concerts. For a game or concert that may run late, an hourly booking is the easier choice, because waiting past the booked pickup time may be charged on a point-to-point ride.

Popular pickups and places in Rancho Bernardo
