McClellan-Palomar Airport (IATA: CRQ) in Carlsbad serves high-net-worth clients arriving by private jet and limited commercial flights. The FBO (Fixed Base Operator) private terminal is where premium clients expect premium ground transportation — not Uber, not a rental car counter. Elite Green Transportation is CRQ's answer: a fleet of BMW i7 xDrive60 and Rivian R1S vehicles piloted by professional TCP-licensed chauffeurs, pre-positioned at the FBO for curbside pickup.
When you step off a private jet, your ground transportation should match the caliber of your flight. EGT delivers exactly that. Flat rates guarantee you know the price before you land. Flight tracking means your driver is waiting. Curbside pickup at the private terminal means zero wait time, zero hassle. That's the EGT CRQ experience.
What you'd pay for luxury ground transportation at any private aviation hub. EGT's CRQ rates are fixed across all times of day and demand levels. FBO concierge staff can call directly to pre-arrange client pickups.

EGT monitors your incoming flight. We're positioned curbside before you clear customs. If delayed, your driver waits. Included in every rate.
Your CRQ rate is locked. 5 AM arrival, holiday, weekend — the price never changes. Rental cars require counter transactions. Uber surges unpredictably. EGT flat rate guarantees simplicity.
Your EGT vehicle is waiting at the CRQ private terminal entrance. No rental car counter, no shuttle bus, no waiting in vehicle traffic. Curbside door-to-door service begins the moment you arrive.
Every EGT vehicle is luxury electric. Zero emissions, whisper-quiet cabin, complimentary water and phone chargers. Your ground experience matches your private aviation experience.
Elite Green Transportation's CRQ flat rates range from $65 (Carlsbad local, 5–10 min) to $185 (Coronado, 40–45 min). Most popular routes: Rancho Santa Fe $100, La Jolla/UTC $135, Downtown San Diego $175, Mission Valley/Old Town $155. Every rate includes real-time flight tracking to McClellan-Palomar, direct curbside pickup at the CRQ FBO private terminal (not rental car counters), and a TCP-licensed BMW i7 xDrive60 or Rivian R1S chauffeur. No surge pricing — what you're quoted is what you pay.
Yes. Elite Green Transportation provides direct curbside pickup at the CRQ Fixed Base Operator (FBO) private terminal. Your chauffeur is pre-positioned and waiting when you clear the FBO. We do not use "meet and greet" — instead, your EGT vehicle is ready curbside, and door-to-door service begins immediately upon arrival. For FBO clients, call (858) 585-6957 to arrange flight notification and pre-positioning.
Absolutely. EGT offers full-service round-trip bookings from any San Diego neighborhood back to McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ). Both directions are flat rate — no surge pricing, no hidden fees. Your chauffeur will coordinate departure time to ensure you arrive at the CRQ FBO private terminal with appropriate buffer before your private or commercial flight departure. Call (858) 585-6957 to book your return CRQ service.
EGT is fundamentally different from rental car counters, taxis, and Uber/Lyft. You arrive at CRQ in a BMW i7 xDrive60 or Rivian R1S piloted by a TCP-licensed professional chauffeur — not a random driver or rental associate. Flat rates guarantee zero surge pricing. Flight tracking means your driver knows your arrival time and is positioned curbside. The private aviation experience begins on the ground with EGT. Rental cars require counter waits. Taxis don't offer pre-positioning or flight tracking. Uber/Lyft surge during peak hours and lack the professionalism expected at a private aviation terminal. EGT matches the private jet experience with private jet-level ground transportation.
Yes. Rancho Santa Fe is one of EGT's most popular CRQ routes — $100 flat rate, 15–20 minutes drive time from the McClellan-Palomar FBO private terminal.

Call (858) 585-6957 to book your CRQ-to-Rancho Santa Fe service.

EGT is not a platform. There is no algorithm dispatching your driver and no call center reading from a script. When you call (858) 585-6957, an owner answers — the same people who built this company, who hold the TCP license, who chose every vehicle in the fleet. That level of accountability does not exist on any app. It exists at EGT because EGT is boutique by design: fewer clients, higher standards, zero compromises. High-net-worth families, corporate flight departments, FBO concierge teams, and charter brokers choose EGT not because of the vehicle — because of who stands behind it. Native American-owned and woman-owned. $1.5M commercial liability insurance. That's EGT.
