Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County, California, to Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Anaheim and the Disneyland Resort, Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from John Wayne Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our John Wayne airport transportation, also searched as Orange County or SNA airport transportation, takes you to hotels, homes and vacation rentals in Newport Beach, Irvine and Costa Mesa, to Anaheim and the Disneyland Resort, and along the coast to Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point.
John Wayne airport transfers start at baggage claim on the Arrival (lower) Level of your terminal, A, B or C, where your driver meets you as your confirmation describes. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each SNA airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, home or vacation rental across Orange County, with no walk to the rideshare level of the parking structures. Going on to Los Angeles, San Diego or Palm Springs? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our John Wayne airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared-ride shuttle that waits to fill up and stops at other hotels on the way. It suits families heading to Disneyland, groups, and travelers with surfboards, golf bags or strollers.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

John Wayne Airport (SNA), also called Orange County Airport, is in Santa Ana, beside Irvine, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, and the County of Orange runs it. All flights use the Thomas F. Riley Terminal, one building divided into Terminals A, B and C: American, Delta, Breeze, Air Canada and WestJet use Terminal A, Alaska and United Terminal B, and Southwest, Allegiant and Frontier Terminal C.
Most flights are domestic, so you walk from the gate straight to baggage claim on the Arrival (lower) Level, below your terminal. International flights from Mexico arrive at Terminal C, where you clear U.S. customs first; flights from Canada are precleared before departure.
California is on Pacific Time (UTC-8), and UTC-7 from March to November.
U.S. entry. Domestic passengers need no entry formalities. International visitors need a U.S. visa or, under the Visa Waiver Program, an approved ESTA before flying; flights from Canada clear U.S. immigration in Canada, and flights from Mexico clear customs at Terminal C.
Check your airport. This page is for John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana. If your ticket says LAX, Long Beach (LGB) or Ontario (ONT), you land at a different airport; for Los Angeles International see our LAX airport transportation page.
Night curfew. Airline arrivals are not allowed from 11 pm to 7 am (8 am on Sundays), so a late flight that misses the curfew may be diverted to another airport. Tell us if your arrival airport changes.
REAL ID for flights home. For domestic flights, U.S. adults need a REAL ID-compliant license, a passport or another accepted ID at security.
