What is point-to-point car service?
Point-to-point service is a one-way chauffeured ride between two addresses. You are picked up at a set time, driven directly to your destination and dropped at the door. There is no hourly booking and no waiting time built in unless you ask for it.
It is the simplest form of private transportation and a good fit when you know exactly where you are going and when: a meeting across town, a dinner reservation, a hotel check-in, or an event where you will arrange a separate ride home.
Compared with rideshare, you choose the vehicle, know who is coming, and can book well in advance, which matters for important appointments and for travelers who prefer a professional chauffeur.
Why choose a point-to-point ride?
- Pay for the trip, not the day: A single transfer is quoted by route, time and vehicle.
- Booked in advance: Reserve for a specific time instead of hoping a car is nearby.
- Your choice of vehicle: An executive sedan for business, an SUV for luggage, or an exotic car for an occasion.
- Door to door: No parking, no valet queue, no walking from a distant lot.
- Easy return trip: Add a return time and both rides are quoted together.

Vehicles for one-way rides
Most one-way rides use a sedan or SUV, but any vehicle in the fleet can be booked:
- Executive sedans for one to three passengers
- Executive SUVs for more space or luggage
- Exotic cars when the arrival matters
For several stops or a return trip later in the same evening, hourly service may work out better.

Distances in Los Angeles are measured in time, not miles. A drive from Santa Monica to Downtown can take very different amounts of time at 10 a.m. and at 5 p.m. When you request a quote, include the time you need to arrive and we will plan the pickup time around typical traffic for that route.
We serve all of Los Angeles County, including Beverly Hills, Pasadena and Sherman Oaks, and quote longer trips outside the county on request.
