A Family-Owned Southern California Car Service Since 2006
What started with a few cars serving Ontario Airport has grown into private rides across all of Southern California. We've grown the way we started: as a family that treats every passenger like one of our own.
From Corporate America to the Curb at Ontario Airport
After more than 25 years serving corporate America, our founder left a senior management role in 2006 to start something of his own: a transportation company built around the kind of service he'd want for his own family. Xpress Shuttles opened in the Inland Empire with a few cars, focused on Ontario Airport.
Word spread through years of happy customers. Today we drive travelers to and from every major Southern California airport and both of the region's cruise ports, from Santa Barbara to San Diego and Tehachapi to Indio.
A Family, Related or Not
We've grown by bringing people into the family, some related and some not, and giving them a real career path. That's why the person who picks you up cares how your trip goes. See what makes us different below.

Reviews From Satisfied Customers
★★★★★“Xpress Shuttle is the best. Reliable and dependable. We live in a rural area with no street lights, but our driver, Eugene, pulled up right in time. Van was spotless and Eugene was friendly and fun to talk to. We were very happy on our return a week later to find that Eugene was the one who picked us up again. I was very nervous about being picked up at 3:30 am. I worried no one would show and we’d miss our flight. No need to worry. They send you a text the day before confirming your reservation and driver info. I totally recommend this company and will definitely use them again.”

★★★★★“My driver, Adam, was the nicest, kindest, friendliest driver ever! Got a confirmation text and email a day before, and it was a smooth ride from there. I live in the Palm Springs area, so it was like 2 and half hours drive from LAX. I wasn't even sure if I would be able to find a good airport shuttle company. Turns out that these guys are familiar with the Coachella Valley area, and I had the best experience. Definitely will book them for the next trip!!!”

★★★★★“Used Xpress Shuttles for transportation to and from LAX for international travel. Both drivers were great. Contact from the company and drivers before pickup was very helpful especially as chaotic as flying out off LAX can be. Highly recommend this company and their drivers. Xpress Shuttles is my new go to for airport transportation.”

★★★★★“My driver was great! Communicated with me day before and day of, car is very clean, drives very safely, great conversation, respectful and overall a really a great ride to the airport. This is the second time I’ve used this service and really enjoy much better than Uber/lyft. I feel safe and they are able to drop off right at the airport and it’s only a little more than Uber/lyft.”

About Xpress Shuttles
Is Xpress Shuttles a family-owned company?
Xpress Shuttles is a family-owned and operated Southern California car service, now in its second generation. The company was founded in 2006 and has grown by welcoming people into the family, related or not, which is why our drivers and office team treat every passenger like one of their own.
When was Xpress Shuttles founded?
Xpress Shuttles was founded in 2006 by a former corporate senior manager with more than 25 years of experience. The company started in the Inland Empire with a few cars focused on Ontario Airport and has since grown to serve every major Southern California airport and both regional cruise ports.
Is Xpress Shuttles a shared shuttle or a private car service?
Despite the name, Xpress Shuttles is a private car service, not a shared shuttle. Each passenger or group gets a dedicated vehicle and driver for a non-stop ride, with no extra stops for strangers. Vehicles range from sedans and SUVs to vans, minibuses and coaches, all booked at a flat rate.
What areas does Xpress Shuttles serve?

We drive to LAX, Burbank, John Wayne, Long Beach, Ontario, San Bernardino and Palm Springs airports and the Los Angeles (San Pedro) and Long Beach cruise terminals.
Who drives for Xpress Shuttles?
Every Xpress Shuttles ride is driven by one of our own exclusive, company-trained professional drivers, never a gig driver.

What makes Xpress Shuttles different from Uber or Lyft?
Xpress Shuttles rides are booked ahead with a flat-rate quote, so there's no surge pricing or fuel surcharge, and your driver is one of our own company-trained professionals rather than a gig driver. Airport pickups include flight tracking, a pre-trip confirmation and your driver's direct number, plus vans, minibuses and coaches for groups.
Does Xpress Shuttles confirm my ride before pickup?
Every Xpress Shuttles reservation gets a pre-trip confirmation before pickup, with your ride and driver details, so you know who's coming and when. It matters most for early departures: one rider with a 3:30 AM pickup wrote that the confirmation text the day before put her mind at ease.
