San Diego Airport Car Service & Limo Transportation

San Diego International Airport (SAN), also known as Lindbergh Field, is one of America's most conveniently located major airports, sitting just 3 miles from downtown San Diego with stunning views of the bay and city skyline on approach. Serving over 25 million passengers annually, SAN provides easy access to San Diego's world-famous beaches, thriving biotech corridor, major naval installations, and year-round perfect weather. Whether you're arriving for business at UCSD or the Sorrento Valley tech hub, vacationing in La Jolla, or visiting military installations, you deserve ground transportation that matches San Diego's laid-back luxury.

Our SAN airport car service has been refined through years of experience to deliver a stress-free arrival experience. Our professional chauffeurs know both terminals intimately, waiting for you inside to assist with luggage and escort you directly to a meticulously maintained luxury vehicle. The short distance to most San Diego destinations means you'll be at your hotel or meeting in no time.

What sets Detailed Drivers apart is our obsessive attention to detail. Our sophisticated flight tracking system monitors your aircraft from departure through landing, automatically adjusting pickup times for delays or early arrivals. We account for SAN's compact terminal layout, the traffic patterns on Harbor Drive and I-5, and the optimal routes to destinations throughout San Diego County.

Our fleet includes luxury sedans like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series for executives, spacious SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade for families, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans for groups up to 14 passengers.

For corporate travelers visiting San Diego's biotech, defense, and technology sectors, we offer streamlined booking, centralized billing, and detailed trip reporting. Companies from Qualcomm to Illumina to countless defense contractors trust us for their executive transportation needs.

Beyond Downtown San Diego, we provide SAN car service to La Jolla, Coronado, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and throughout San Diego County. Whether you're heading to the Hotel del Coronado, UCSD, the San Diego Convention Center, or Legoland, our chauffeurs know the optimal routes.
