Highway 17 is normal to me
I know Highway 17 and California mountain roads well. Fast curves, steep grades and narrow routes do not change the quality of the ride.
Meet your chauffeur
Hi, I’m Jon.
Owner & operator. I'm the only black-tie private driver in our whole coastal area, from Los Gatos to Monterey.
People choose Santa Cruz Chauffeur because they want a driver they know, not a name assigned by an app. You plan the ride with me, text me directly and see the same person pull up.

Owner-operated means something
You know who is coming before the ride begins.
I have more than 20 years of driving experience and thousands of trips behind me. I am comfortable on Highway 17, PCH, Big Sur and the narrow mountain roads that make some drivers nervous.
I genuinely like people, driving, conversation and showing people around my region. Santa Cruz is so very unique, and I'm more than glad to talk about your visit and help visitors plan their time here.
Most importantly, you can reach me directly. There is no dispatch desk between you and the person responsible for your ride.
Conversation is optional. Comfort is not.
I enjoy good conversation, especially about technology, X and the Silicon Valley scene. I also know when a quiet ride is the better ride.
Owner standards, every trip
I keep the vehicle current, clean and ready. There is no gap between the owner promising the service and the driver delivering it.
Questions, answered
FAQs.
Will Jon be my driver?
Yes. The person you speak with and book is the person behind the wheel. The rare exception is a major flight delay that conflicts with another committed airport pickup. If that happens, I arrange a licensed driver I personally trust.
What kind of vehicle do you drive?
I drive a Ford Expedition Platinum. It seats up to six passengers and has personal tablets, Wi-Fi, captain's chairs and a panoramic sunroof.
Do you provide corporate transportation?
Yes. I provide quiet, professional transportation for meetings, conferences, airport runs and business travel throughout Santa Cruz and the Bay Area.
