Airbus Santa Barbara

Shane was a great accommodating driver. My flight arrived early and so I asked him if I could take the 900am since it had arrived and my reservation was for 11am because I was trying to play it safe in case my flight was delayed. Shane said that was fine and I was able to board. Ride was very smooth and fast. Reasonable price too. It was my second time using the Air Bus and I really enjoyed the service both times !

I rode the airbus for four years while attending UCSB and have minimal grips with the service. Flights out of SBA to home were few and far between (and 2 – 4 as expensive as those from LAX) so this is a cost-​effective way travel between SB and LA. The air bus offered an $ 80 round trip on a clean, well-​maintained bus. Their website is simple and clear, making booking a trip straightforward and fast.
The departure point for Santa Barbara is pretty out of the way though — the local MTD buses do not drop passengers off close to the station so there’s quite a bit of walking and luggage-​dragging to be done if you don’t take a taxi there.
Regardless, it’s a great service. Along with being clean, the buses offer water, soda, and snacks out of a cooler for about a dollar.

What a stupid company! Waited for bus for 45 min. Called and was told bus was one stop away. Ten minutes later call again and the bus passed me by, Really!!! they have my cell number, they know my name and what time they are supposed to get me. Left me stranded at LAX trying to get to Santa Barbara two days before christmas. Dont take a chance w these ppl… unless you want to get stranded.

Had a very horrible experience with SB Airbus in Goleta. A few weeks ago I visited the SB Airbus to ask them questions about how secured their parking lot is. I told them that my old bus is classic…47 years old… nicely restored… a beauty. They told me not to worry… they would take good care of my bus. Last Monday I dropped my bus off at their secured parking lot. I showed them a set of my keys… one of the keys is labelled DOORS. I rode on their Airbus to LAX. Last Sunday morning at 1230am I arrived back at SB Airbus in Goleta. To my horror, I saw that my bus had been moved to the unsecured guest parking lot. What’s worse. My bus was not properly parked. Misaligned… my driver’s door was too close to another car. Potential car door dents. What’s worse, my classic bus driver door had been left unlocked. Oh gosh. Thieves love bus parts. thieves know how to hotwire the bus. Since it was 1am, I was too tired from a very long flight to check everything in my bus.
Today I called SB Airbus and asked why my bus door was left unlocked and why my bus was parked misaligned too close to another car. She told me that the worker who drove my bus to the guest parking lot Saturday afternoon at 1230pm. He couldn’t get my front door locked. What!!! My bus was left unlocked for 12 hours. I could not believe that he didn’t know how to lock my bus driver door. It is a simple key to insert in a keyhole and turn around to lock.
From there I got a feeling that the worker must be drunk driving my bus… too drunk to park my bus properly and too drunk to insert the key in the simple keyhole.
I left a message on the manager’s voice mail that I could not believe tht his employee didn’t know how to lock my bus door. A five-​year-​old would know how to lock it.
Their Airbus security can’t be trusted… the employee can’t be trusted. I also left a message if I had known that Airbus couldn’t provide security to my bus, I would have taken my bus to a different airport shuttle bus company’s secured parking.
The worker was the first and only person who could not get my 47-​year-​old bus door locked. You can easily lock my bus door.
I am concerned that the parts may have stolen from my bus left unlocked last weekend…
I paid $ 88 for a round trip Airbus and $ 30 weekly secured parking. Yet they «dumped» my classic beauty bus out on public parking lot and left unlocked for 12 hours for potential thieves and/​or joyriders.

Easy, quick and inexpensive way to get to LAX. I recommend their service to any travels as I’ve never had any problems.

Really bad experience with that guy Name Tim, so rude! I booked the service because i was told by the lady that i can use the parking for free upto 21 days. she FLAT told me that, then when i was checking in, Tim is asking for $ 5 a day. Keep insisting that i misunderstood it, but i made it very clear to the lady before i booked it because i have an option of taking the Santa Maria one where i’m sure that the parking is free. Not recommended, being yeld at by Tim? hello! I’m a customer here. Not recommended at all! Bad customer service

Always on time. Drivers are consistently polite and friendly. Comfortable and clean bus. A great alternative to driving down to the airport.

Had TWO horrible experiences with this company. First one… arrived very late at night having traveled for two days from across the world and they lost my car keys — this after my car had been in their parking facility to be taken care of! Second one. part of their minimal compensation for the mess up on the first trip was to give me two free trips… the free trip was very LATE and I missed my flight! In my opinion all this was a total nightmare for me, and I would suggest trying the other shuttle service!

Great service. The driver was on time and the bus was clean and comfortable. The driver made sure everyone got to the exact airport entrance they needed to go to, even when it meant driving me 50 feet down from where he had just dropped off someone else. He kept everyone updated on the progress to the airport and let us know when he decided to change routes because of traffic, which was nice. It was pricey though, ~$ 50 one way — but still cheaper than flying out of Santa Barbara.

I am a UCSB student so I found the RT fare to LAX a bit pricey — $ 88 RT — but there is no question it is incredibly convenient. I love the WiFi, but just wish they had outlets on the bus.

way overpriced for old squeaky buses. However, if you are in a pinch and need to get down there quick, the 45 – 50 dollar ticket to LAX is not too bad. ($ 90-​$ 100 round trip). many times it’s worth the price to just fly out of sb airport. We did the math last time and if you have 2 people and are traveling for under 20 days then you are better off driving down and paying to park in one of the lots. if the airbus could get their tickets down to about $ 20 bucks each way it would make much more sense. If you are traveling with 4 people it is the same price to rent a limo from rockstar or one of the others.

As a veteran traveler, flying into or out of LAX is more carefree taking the Santa Barbara Airbus. 1. It is totally dependable. 2. Reasonable prices. 3. Comfortable 4.) Free wi fi 5.) Courteous personnel.
Once I left something on the Airbus and instead of having to go through voice mail purgatory or hassles of any kind, the staff of the Airbus made sure the item was on its way back to me. Really helpful. What more could one want?

Very convenient way to get from Santa Barbara to LAX airport! Bus is very clean, they stow your luggage by airline so it makes getting off easy. There is a bathroom on board and they even sell water a buck a bottle! Highly suggest it

We just used SB Airbus for our Garden Club field Trip shuttle service for the day. The service was flawless… on-​time, knowledgable of the area, nice mini coach, safety conscious, and customer service was excellent. Our driver, Jay, offered lots of great info about the area. Definitely would recommend!

Supposed to have great wifi but it is practically non-​existent as it takes forever to load. Then attempted to work via my phone for a quiet conversation not bothering anyone, and then I hear the rules of the bus saying minimal phone conversations. No one complained and others are talking to each other. Should have driven to LAX myself or gone via Amtrak.

Just used SB Air Bus for my wedding January & the service was phenomenal! We rented the Black Pearl & it was a party to the ceremony and all the way back. It was truly the best way to transport your entire wedding party! The driver was prompt, and kept us running on time. The company worked with the rules of the four seasons regarding how long you can be parked out front, it’s a small street. I truly can’t say enough nice things about this transportation company. Our entire wedding party was beyond impressed with how nice (& CLEAN) the bus was. All in all I cannot wait to rent from them again!!! 5 stars!!!

Amazing bus to catch. I was getting in at LAX and was a bit faster than I expected, so I called and let them know I could make the earlier bus but ended being a bit late for it bc of baggage claim hangup. The bus did 2 laps around the parking lot for me. Something I believe very few would do. Saved me a 2 hr wait. Love you guys SB airbus!!!

Went to a wedding a week ago in Buellton and they had chartered a bus from the Santa Ynez Marriott to the wedding Venue. The bus was clean, friendly driver and on time. Unfortunately on the drive back from the wedding I made the mistake of putting my cell phone in my coat pocket, while sitting in the comfy seats my phone slipped out and ended up between the seats. Wasn’t until we were in our hotel that I noticed it was missing. Since the phone was on vibrate calling it wasn’t going to alert the driver I had left it on the bus. The next morning I went on Icloud and notified whoever picked up my phone that it was lost and what # to reach me. I called SB airbus as well to give them the heads up I lost the phone on the bus. On Monday morning I receive a call from Michael from SB airbus to advise he was cleaning the bus and found my phone. He said it had no juice so he took it home to charge and when it powered up he called the # that pulled up on the screen. I was so relieved to know that this world still has honest people. Hats off to you Michael for still giving us all that faith of what genuine honest people are out there.

We used two airbuses to shuttle people from Santa Barbara to our winery wedding in Los Olivos. The drivers were great and nice to our crazy guests!!! Everyone said the shuttles were really comfortable. The office team was great to deal with!

I attended a gem show out in Tucson, AZ and after days a shopping, schmoozing, and mingling with the crazy, wonderful metalsmithing community, I was DONE and ready to be home.
As I was coming in to land at LAX, I noticed that even though I was scheduled for an 11am pickup with the Airbus, there was a 9am pickup, too! As the plane landed, I called Airbus Santa Barbara and asked about how I might catch the 9am bus. It was now 8:55.
Tio was super helpful and very friendly and he explained how the bus goes from terminal to terminal, and long story short, I caught the LAX shuttle to the final terminal, passing the SB Airbus along the way. I hopped off the LAX shuttle and hopped on the SB Airbus with a minute to spare! Tio had called the bus driver to let him know I was coming, and he was on the lookout for me!
Thanks to the great service, and Tio’s excellent help, I was able to get home 2 hours sooner, and I really appreciated it!
Great service, great coordination, and a great travel experience. I love Airbus Santa Barbara!
