First things first: not the same company
BK Limo San Diego (bklimosandiego.com; BK Transportation) describes itself as a “prestigious, family-owned private-driver transportation company” based at 8555 Station Village Lane in Mission Valley, open 24/7, serving “San Diego County all the way to Temecula,” with listed partners including Intercruises, Collette, Holiday Taxis and ExecuCar. Elite Green Transportation (EGT, elitegreentransportation.com) is a separate operator founded in September 2024: San Diego’s only 100% electric licensed car service for SAN airport, three vehicles — BMW i7 eDrive50, Rivian R1S, Cadillac Escalade IQ-L — California TCP #0046494-A, $1.5M commercial liability, Native American–owned (Choctaw Nation) and woman-owned. One is a 619 number, one is 858; check which one you are calling.

What a BMW i7 ride costs — the one published grid
BK Limo publishes no rates, so the only i7 price you can read before calling anyone in San Diego is EGT’s. These are the BMW i7 flat rates to or from SAN, with tolls, flight tracking and a 20-minute curbside wait inside the number; add $20 for the Rivian R1S and $40 for the Escalade IQ-L.
| Zone | Neighborhoods | BMW i7 | Rivian R1S | Escalade IQ-L |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metro core | Downtown, Gaslamp, Little Italy, Point Loma, Pacific Beach, Mission Valley, Hillcrest, National City | $65 | $85 | $105 |
| Near ring | La Jolla, UTC, Coronado, Mira Mesa, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Chula Vista, La Mesa, El Cajon | $80 | $100 | $120 |
| Mid ring | Encinitas, Carlsbad, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos, Escondido | $95 | $115 | $135 |
| Far edge | Oceanside, Vista, Fallbrook, Alpine, Ramona | $115 | $135 | $155 |
| LAX | Any San Diego County origin ($445 from Chula Vista / South Bay) | $425 — same price in all three vehicles | ||
| Hourly | Two-hour minimum | $175/hr | $200/hr | |
Several of BK Limo’s named service areas sit inside EGT’s published zones: Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Escondido and Carlsbad are $95 in the i7; El Cajon and Chula Vista are $80; Oceanside and Ramona are $115. Rancho Peñasquitos and Temecula are not on EGT’s published grid — call for a quote rather than assume a zone.
When BK Limo is the right choice
- Six or seven people in one vehicle. BK Limo lists a Chevy Suburban; EGT’s largest vehicle seats five. For a single-vehicle party of six-plus, book them (or ask EGT for a two-car move).
- Temecula, Ramona and inland East County pickups that BK Limo names as home territory.
- Tour-operator and cruise-group logistics through its listed partners — Intercruises, Collette, Holiday Taxis, ExecuCar.
- You want the gasoline Suburban or the “i740” rather than an electric car.
When EGT is the right choice
- You want the electric car every time, not when it is available. All three EGT vehicles are electric; the i7 is the sedan, the R1S and IQ-L are the SUVs.
- You want the price before the call. One flat number per vehicle per zone, published and locked at booking — the same number at 4 a.m. or on a holiday weekend.
- LAX with four or five people. $425 is the same price in the R1S or the IQ-L.
- Verifiable on paper. TCP #0046494-A and $1.5M liability on every page; a named driver confirmed before your travel day; live availability, including sold-out dates, published per event.
- Corporate ESG reporting. Zero tailpipe emissions on 100% of trips, not a share of them.
A third name in the search results: Starr Luxury Cars
A search for “electric private driver San Diego” in September 2026 also returns Starr Luxury Cars (starrluxurycars.com). As read on , its own site describes the company as a booking platform for “a trusted and well-curated list of partner suppliers,” headquartered at Berkeley Square House, Mayfair, London, with a U.S. enquiries line in the 424 (Los Angeles) area code. Its San Diego page lists a Cadillac XTS, Mercedes GLS Maybach, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ghost and Cullinan, Cadillac Escalade, Range Rover Vogue, Mercedes Sprinter, Bentley Flying Spur and a stretch limousine — no BMW i7 or Mercedes EQS appears in the San Diego fleet list, and the “View Car” links on that list go to its New York, Los Angeles and Miami pages. The sentence that mentions “the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the BMW i7” sits in a general safety-and-sustainability paragraph that also says drivers are “fully licensed by the Public Carriage Office (PCO) or local equivalent authorities” — the PCO is London’s licensing body. The page shows no California TCP number and no San Diego address. None of that means a Starr booking cannot produce a good car; it means that if you want the electric car guaranteed in San Diego, ask the broker which operator and which vehicle will actually arrive. EGT’s answer is on this page: its own i7, TCP #0046494-A, and the price before the call.
