Orange County Private Car Service for John Wayne Airport
John Wayne is Orange County’s home airport, officially in Santa Ana, right where Irvine, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa meet. It’s smaller and easier than LAX, and for most of the county it’s a lot closer.
Your driver meets you on the arrival level, loads your luggage, and takes you directly where you need to go. No hotel vans, no shared airport shuttles, no strangers. Just your group, headed straight where you’re going. Every driver is company-trained, and the business is still run by the family that started it, now in its second generation.
Ready for Those Early SNA Flights
John Wayne has a strict noise curfew, so the first departures leave at 7 a.m. (8 a.m. on Sundays) and the morning rush starts early. We run 24/7, so a pre-dawn pickup in Laguna Niguel or Mission Viejo is no problem. Book it, set your alarm, and we’ll take care of the rest.

“Annie is an amazing driver! She is extremely friendly, helpful and patient, and her car is very clean and safe. Just what the doctor ordered after a short but seemingly long flight. Great customer service from booking the reservation to drop-off at the hotel. Thank you Xpress Shuttles. I’ll be seeing you again!”

“I used Xpress Shuttles again on Wed. Aug 24 to go from Irvine to LAX. Christina was the driver this time and she was right on time and very pleasant to talk to. I will continue to use Xpress Shuttles anytime I have to LAX. Just a side note…They will also take you just about anywhere you need to go.”
