Quick summary
Rides On Time is an established San Diego luxury transportation company with a broad fleet covering airport transfers, Del Mar racing-season and event transportation, and black-car service. For larger groups or a range of vehicle classes from a single vendor, that fleet breadth is a genuine strength, and the company has a long Del Mar event track record.
Elite Green Transportation (EGT) is San Diego's only 100% electric licensed car service for SAN airport. Every ride is in the BMW i7 xDrive60 or Cadillac Escalade IQ-L — zero tailpipe emissions by default. EGT operates under California TCP #0046494-A with $1.5M commercial liability, prices airport transfers and events as a flat rate locked at booking with no surge, confirms a named driver in advance with no substitutions, and is Native American-owned (Choctaw Nation) and woman-owned, owner-answered 24/7.

When Rides On Time is the right choice
- Large groups or mixed vehicle classes. Rides On Time's broader fleet covers bigger parties and vehicle types EGT doesn't carry (EGT seats up to five in the Escalade IQ-L).
- Established Del Mar relationship. Repeat customers with a working Del Mar booking history.
When EGT is the right choice
- Guaranteed all-electric ride. Every EGT ride is zero tailpipe emissions — not 'electric if available.'
- Flat, no-surge pricing on peak event days. Del Mar opening day and big race days don't trigger a surge with EGT.
- Named-driver accountability. Confirmed in advance, no substitutions, owner-answered.
- Diverse-vendor procurement. Native American-owned (Choctaw Nation) and woman-owned.
