How far in advance should I book?

We recommend reserving at least 24 to 48 hours ahead to guarantee your preferred vehicle and chauffeur. That said, we operate 24/7 and will always do our best to accommodate last-minute and same-day requests — just call and we will arrange it.

Is gratuity included?

Yes. Our rates are all-inclusive, so gratuity, fuel, taxes, and standard fees are built into the quoted price. The figure you are quoted is the figure you pay — no surprises at the end of your ride.

What's your cancellation policy?

Reservations cancelled at least 24 hours before the scheduled pickup are fully refundable. Cancellations made within 24 hours may be subject to a charge, and airport pickups are held to flight-specific timing. Reach out and we will walk you through the details for your booking.

Do you provide child or car seats?

Absolutely. We can equip your vehicle with infant, toddler, or booster seats at no surprise cost — just let us know the ages and number of children when you book so the seats are installed and ready before pickup.

Do you track flights, and is airport wait time free?

Yes. We monitor your flight in real time and adjust your pickup automatically for early or delayed arrivals. We include complimentary wait time so you are never charged for a late flight, and your chauffeur meets you with everything already accounted for in your all-inclusive rate.

Which areas do you serve?

We serve all of San Diego County and provide direct transfers to and from LAX. Frequent destinations include San Diego, La Jolla, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Escondido, Temecula, and the greater Los Angeles area. If your destination is not listed, contact us — we likely cover it.

How Much Does a Limo Cost in San Diego? (2026 Pricing Guide)

Limo and car service prices in San Diego depend on three things: the vehicle, the trip type, and the time involved. Point-to-point airport transfers are typically flat-rate, while events and tours are usually billed hourly. Here's an honest 2026 breakdown so you know what to expect — and how all-inclusive pricing saves you from the hidden fees that surprise most riders.

Flat-rate airport transfers (with example San Diego fares)

Most airport runs are quoted as a flat fare locked at booking. From San Diego International (SAN), Avant’s all-inclusive sedan rates start at $70 to La Jolla, $110 to Encinitas, $120 to Carlsbad, $130 to Oceanside and Escondido, and $240 to Temecula. Direct LAX transfers run roughly $340–$360. Because pricing is flat, traffic and delays never change the number you were quoted.

Hourly charter rates and minimums

Tours, nights out, and multi-stop evenings are usually billed by the hour, often with a minimum number of hours. The chauffeur and vehicle stay with you the entire time, with unlimited stops. Hourly charter is the most flexible option when your plans involve more than a single point-to-point trip.

Wedding limo pricing

Wedding transportation is typically packaged around your timeline — bridal-party transport, ceremony-to-reception coordination, and a getaway car. Avant’s wedding pricing is all-inclusive with gratuity included, quoted to your specific route and hours.

What’s included — and what “all-inclusive” really means

At Avant, the quoted price is the final price: gratuity, fuel, taxes, and standard fees are built in, and there is no surge pricing. Many operators advertise a low base rate, then add fuel surcharges, gratuity, and airport fees at the end — so always ask what is included before comparing quotes.

How much to tip a limo driver in San Diego

Industry standard is 15–20% of the fare. Worth noting: at Avant, gratuity is already included in your all-inclusive rate, so there is nothing extra expected — though tips are always appreciated for exceptional service.

How to get the best rate

Book early to lock availability, travel in a sedan rather than an SUV when your group is small, choose flat-rate transfers over hourly when you only need point-to-point, and use code AVANT15 for 15% off your first ride. Always ask for an all-inclusive quote so you can compare apples to apples.
