The direct answer
For a show at The Old Globe — California's oldest professional theatre, set in Balboa Park — a flat-rate private car drops you at the entrance and skips the park parking entirely. Elite Green Transportation runs published Tier-3 flat round trips: non-marquee nights are $100 BMW i7 (2), $120 Rivian R1S (up to 4), or $140 Escalade IQ-L (up to 5); marquee nights — opening nights, premieres and touring Broadway — are $130 / $160 / $190. One price covers both legs of the night for everyone in the car, no surge, no hourly clock, 100% electric, named driver confirmed in advance.
Tier-3 flat rates — published, no surge
One flat price covers the whole night, both legs, for everyone in the car — no hourly clock, no surge, no prepaid parking. Regular shows are non-marquee; opening nights, world and North American premieres, and touring Broadway are marquee (each show page shows which rate applies).
| Vehicle | Seats | Non-marquee round trip | Marquee round trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMW i7 | 2 | $100 ($50/seat) | $130 ($65/seat) |
| Rivian R1S | up to 4 | $120 ($30/seat) | $160 ($40/seat) |
| Cadillac Escalade IQ-L | up to 5 | $140 ($28/seat) | $190 ($38/seat) |
How the slots work: Each vehicle runs one round trip per show — drop at the gate, then a staged pickup about 30–45 minutes after it ends. One party per vehicle; when it's booked, the vehicle is booked for the night. Slots are confirmed in the order requests arrive; book early. When slots are full, EGT opens a cancellation list.

Why a car fits a night at the Globe
Balboa Park parking is free, but the lots near the theatre complex fill on show nights — leaving a long walk across the park in the dark after the curtain. Most Globe evenings start with dinner in the park or on the Prado, usually with a glass of wine. A flat Tier-3 round trip drops you right at the entrance and stages your driver for the walk-out, so the parking and the drive are never your problem.
- No parking hunt: EGT drops you at the entrance and is staged for the walk-out — no lot, no garage, no dark cross-park walk back to the car.
- No surge: rideshare spikes the moment the curtain falls; EGT's published rate is the same for every rider, every night.
- Sober ride home: enjoy dinner and a glass of wine — your named driver handles the round trip.
- Skip the post-show egress: your driver rolls when you text, not after a 30-minute lot or rideshare wait.
- Group value: for five riders the Escalade IQ-L is just $28-$40 per seat round trip, door to door.
- 100% electric, named driver: a clean, quiet BMW i7, Rivian R1S, or Cadillac Escalade IQ-L, with the same confirmed driver both ways.
A night at the Globe — be driven.
Tier-3 flat round trips from $100 (marquee from $130), no surge, 100% electric, named driver. One round trip per vehicle per event — limited slots.
