Hourly & As-Directed Service in Orange County, CA
John Wayne Airport is the correct arrival for Newport Beach, Irvine, Anaheim, Costa Mesa and the Laguna coast, and using LAX instead costs about ninety minutes in each direction. That single fact governs most Orange County bookings.
What "as directed" actually means
You reserve a block of hours — three is the usual minimum, four in some markets — and inside that block the vehicle is yours. You do not name the stops in advance, you do not re-book between them, and the chauffeur waits at the kerb or in a nearby garage while you are inside. Luggage, samples, coats and shopping stay in the car.
It is the most flexible product we sell and, past about four separate movements in a day, the cheapest. Four point-to-point transfers across a business day almost always cost more than a five-hour as-directed block, and they leave you waiting for a car between each one.
What this means in Orange County
If your hotel is in Orange County, fly into SNA. The desk will say so even when the flight is a little more expensive, because the ground difference is larger.
The work here is corporate volume in Irvine and Newport, convention business at the Anaheim Convention Center, theme-park family transfers, and the resort runs down the coast to Laguna, Dana Point and San Clemente.
A typical as-directed day in Orange County
Most hourly bookings here move between these districts, and the route is built against the real traffic profile for the date rather than an average.
The chauffeur identifies the drop-off point, the loading dock and a legal wait or nearby garage for each building before the day starts. On a dense downtown day that preparation is most of the value.
