From the moment you book to the moment you're dropped at the terminal — or picked up at baggage claim — here is exactly how an EGT airport transfer works.
Call or text (858) 585-6957 with your pickup address, flight number, and date. Advance booking is recommended — same-day is possible based on availability. You'll receive a confirmation with your driver's name and vehicle.
The morning of your transfer, you receive a text reminder with your pickup time and driver details. For departures, we calculate your pickup time based on your flight, terminal, and neighborhood — no guesswork required from you.
For arrivals, your chauffeur monitors your flight from the moment it departs. If you land early, we adjust. If you're delayed, we wait at no extra charge. You walk off the plane knowing your car is ready.
For arrivals at SAN, your chauffeur meets you at the terminal curbside with your name displayed. Luggage is handled for you — no wrestling bags alone. The vehicle is waiting, chilled or warmed to your preference.
Both vehicles are 100% electric — no exhaust, no noise, no emissions. The BMW i7 features a 31.3-inch Theatre Screen and massaging rear seats. The Rivian R1S seats up to 5 with three rows and adventure-ready cargo space.
Your rate was confirmed at booking — that's what you pay. No traffic surcharge. No late-night fee. No luggage add-on. No Uber-style demand pricing. The number you were quoted is the number on your receipt.
Two vehicles. Both 100% electric. Both chauffeur-driven. Both with professional-grade appointments unavailable through any rideshare platform.
The i7 is the benchmark for electric executive transport. Rear passengers ride in airline business-class comfort while the driver manages navigation and timing. Zero engine noise means zero distraction.
The R1S is the most capable luxury SUV in San Diego's for-hire fleet. Three rows, premium interior, and a frunk that adds cargo space when the rear seats are occupied. Smooth, quiet, and commanding.
EGT serves all of San Diego County. Below are the most common pickup areas for SAN airport transfers. Call for exact flat-rate pricing from your neighborhood.
Uber and Lyft are convenient for short, casual trips. For airport travel — where timing, reliability, and accountability matter — the differences are significant.

EGT's fleet consists of a BMW i7 xDrive60 (executive sedan, 31.3-inch Theatre Screen, massaging rear seats, 316-mile range) and a Rivian R1S (luxury SUV, 3-row seating, 321-mile range, quad-motor AWD). Both are 100% electric. There is no gasoline vehicle in the fleet.

EGT and Uber Black differ on four points: vehicle guarantee, pricing, coverage, and confirmation. EGT guarantees your specific vehicle (BMW i7 xDrive60 or Rivian R1S — no substitutions), charges a flat rate that never surges, and is TCP #0046494-A licensed with $1.5M commercial insurance active at all times. Uber Black uses surge pricing during peak demand, does not guarantee a specific vehicle, and carries only $50K/$100K in coverage during the app-on/waiting phase. EGT is a dedicated chauffeur service — not a marketplace. Your booking is confirmed before a driver is assigned.
Yes. EGT is San Diego's premier black car service for airport transfers and professional ground transportation. "Black car service" describes a dedicated, pre-booked, professionally licensed vehicle — not a rideshare app. EGT operates a BMW i7 xDrive60, Rivian R1S, and Cadillac Escalade IQ-L with professional chauffeurs, flat rates, and advance booking confirmation. The difference from Uber or Lyft: your vehicle, driver, and rate are confirmed before the day of travel — not assigned at the moment of request. As a black car service, EGT holds California PUC TCP License #0046494-A and $1.5M commercial liability insurance. Call (858) 585-6957 to book.
Yes. Every vehicle in EGT's fleet is 100% battery electric — no gasoline, no hybrid. The BMW i7 xDrive60 has a 316-mile EPA range; the Rivian R1S has a 321-mile range.

Payment by card — no app required. Corporate accounts with direct billing are available. Same-day bookings accepted based on availability.
EGT offers specialized services for every type of traveler arriving in or departing from San Diego:
We run SAN every day. Here is what travelers booking on apps alone don't know.
San Diego International Airport is a two-terminal airport with three security checkpoints. Terminal 2 West — the primary checkpoint for Alaska, United, Delta, and international gates — has been running 20 to 35 minute wait times during the 6–9am window as of early 2026. The reason: TSA staffing shortages. As of March 2026, a federal funding standoff has resulted in TSA officers working without pay since mid-February. Nationwide, call-out rates have reached 11.8% — the highest single-day figure recorded during the shutdown. At some airports, checkpoint staffing has dropped by 40–50%. SAN has not been immune. (Fortune, March 21, 2026; NPR, March 22, 2026)
In response, the federal government deployed ICE agents to 14 U.S. airports beginning March 23, 2026, to assist with crowd management and checkpoint flow. ICE agents are not TSA-certified screeners — they cannot operate X-ray equipment or conduct screening — but they are present in terminal areas and are actively performing immigration enforcement duties while at airports. If you are a non-citizen traveler or traveling with documents other than a U.S. passport, be aware that ICE agents in airport terminals retain full enforcement authority. (CNN, March 24, 2026; Axios, March 24, 2026)
What this means for your SAN departure: Add 20–30 minutes to your standard airport buffer. A domestic flight that previously required 75 minutes from door to gate now requires 90–100 minutes. An international departure or connection should have 120 minutes minimum from your front door to your gate. EGT builds this buffer into every pickup calculation — we know current conditions before you do, and we leave nothing to chance.
Our flat rate does not change based on how long we estimate the security line will be. But your time does. Book with appropriate margin.
