Blackhawk Transportation & Limousine serves Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. We book through the same network of licensed, insured operators as our sister company American Luxury Limousine, so a booking here has a Southern California-wide inventory behind it — sedans, stretch limousines, SUV limousines and buses from 12 to 56 passengers. Every vehicle is kept on a preventative maintenance program by its operator.
Below is what we are booked for most. If your occasion is not on the list, call us anyway — most of what we do is built around a specific day rather than a package.
Weddings
We run the couple's car, shuttle runs between the ceremony and the reception, and the late send-off, and we hold to the schedule your coordinator gives us. The white Lincoln Continental stretch is our most requested wedding car because it photographs properly in daylight; the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Phantom and the Mercedes-Benz Maybach are there when the car is meant to be part of the occasion. Weddings are usually booked as a six-hour package.
Quinceañeras, proms and graduations
A chauffeured limousine is the one part of the evening parents do not have to worry about. We carry the whole group in one vehicle, we hold the car at each stop, and the same chauffeur who collects everyone brings them home. Tell us the venue and the times and we will build the route around them. For a court of honour or a large group, the Escalade and Excursion SUV limousines seat up to 20 and 22.
Bachelor and bachelorette parties
Multi-stop nights where nobody should be driving and nobody wants to be looking for parking. The Hummer H2 and the party buses are the usual picks — the bus waits with you at every stop, and the group stays together between them.
Wine tours
The largest part of our Santa Barbara business. Santa Ynez Valley, the Sta. Rita Hills, Los Olivos and Solvang, and the Urban Wine Trail in the Funk Zone when you want a half day without leaving town. A full day runs six to eight hours and most groups get to four or six tasting rooms. Details and routes are on the Santa Ynez wine tours page.
Airport transfers and FBO
Santa Barbara (SBA) for short hops, and the longer runs down to LAX, Burbank and Van Nuys. We also handle FBO and private terminal transfers. Flights are monitored, so a delay does not leave you paying for a car that has already left.
Corporate transportation
Executive sedans and the Suburban SUV for point-to-point and roadshow work, stretch limousines and buses for company events, conferences and holiday parties. A deposit reserves the vehicle and date, with the balance due the week of the trip; regular business clients can ask us about account billing.
Long-distance and weekend trips
Palm Springs, Las Vegas, San Diego and San Francisco runs, plus casino trips and concerts. These are priced by the day rather than the hour and usually need booking further ahead, particularly around festival and event weekends.
Party buses and large groups
From a 12 passenger Mercedes party van up through 24, 35 and 38 passenger buses to a 56 passenger coach, several with dance poles. See the party bus page, or the full fleet for photographs of every vehicle.
Birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions
Sweet 16s, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family celebrations and nights out. Decorations are available on request — tell us what the occasion is when you book.
Rates
Corporate sedans and SUVs from $85 per hour. Stretch limousines from $199 per hour. SUV and Hummer limousines from $229 per hour. Party buses from $249 per hour. Hourly minimums are 3 hours on weekdays and 3 to 6 hours at weekends depending on the date and time; weddings are usually a 6-hour package and some peak dates carry a longer minimum.
Every rental includes a professional licensed chauffeur, fuel, bottled water and ice, and full vehicle prep and detailing. Gratuity is not included unless your quote says otherwise; 15–20% is customary. Your rate depends on the vehicle, the date and the hours, and every quote is confirmed in writing before you commit.
