Malibu Wine Tour Car Service — From $75/Hr, 3-Hr Minimum

At a glance

Key facts

A Malibu wine day is bought as a block of hours with a car and a chauffeur inside it, not as a trip between two addresses. You set the addresses as the afternoon goes.
Road time is booked time. An hour spent climbing a canyon or crawling along Pacific Coast Highway is charged exactly as an hour standing outside a tasting room is. That is the single most useful thing to know before picking a block length.
An hour of executive sedan is priced from $75; an hour of luxury SUV, from $100.
Nothing shorter than 3 hours is taken — from $225 and from $300 respectively — and nothing longer than 18 hours on one booking. The 6-hour block this day usually wants reads from $450 and from $600.
Mileage travels along with the clock at 20 miles per booked hour. Once that is spent, a sedan mile adds $1 and an SUV mile $2.50 — both printed here instead of quoted over the phone.
Malibu's shoreline alone runs 21 miles. One booked hour's 20 miles does not cover the length of the city, which is why the mileage on this day is worth doing on paper first.
Nothing inside the block is metered. A room that holds you an extra 40 minutes, a view nobody wants to leave, a slow pour: the car is outside through all of it and none of it arrives as a line of its own.
Overrun bills in 30-minute steps and always climbs to the next one, never down to the minutes actually used; the overtime section below works a late finish through. Keep that apart from fact 7: inside the hours nothing at all is charged, and the stepping begins only once those hours are spent.
A single chauffeur stays on the booking from the first address to the last, whether it runs 3 hours or 18, so whoever loads the first case is who unloads it.
Your hours open as you get in, at the address you named — not when a car pulls out of El Segundo — and they close at the day's last stop. Land first and they open on the moment the aircraft is down for real, the flight watched for you.
The rate absorbs tolls, taxes and parking: a vineyard lot, a meter on the coast road, a valet later on. The lone exception is an entry pass sold by an event venue alongside its tickets, which the guest buys.
A gratuity is set by you, after you have seen the total and never before it. The checkout list runs 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent, a free box, and $0.
Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate. Your date is priced in full on screen first. Beyond that one exception the figure sits still: demand does not move it, nor the hour, nor the day of the week.
Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply. Malibu is an incorporated city of its own, so a day collected in Los Angeles, Santa Monica or Beverly Hills and spent in the Malibu hills is exactly the day that rule describes.
Two classes of car and no third. 3 seats and 3 bags in the sedan; 5 seats and 5 bags in the SUV. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation. The fleet runs no vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles.
iRide360 drives. It does not sell a tour. No vineyard is chosen for you, no tasting is booked for you, no itinerary is published, and a chauffeur is not a guide.
All of it runs on California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A. iRide360 works out of 222 N Pacific Coast Hwy, El Segundo, California, and dispatch picks up on (833) 743-3360 round the clock. Rated 5.0★ on Google from 26 reviews.
Coast weather and a group's plans both change. Changing it is free: online up to 6 hours before pickup, or by phone to dispatch inside 6 hours, and the price moves to match the new trip. Cancelling is free with a full refund 24 hours or more before pickup; inside 24 hours it is non-refundable.

Service facts

A wine day in the Malibu hills, line by line: what the hours buy, what the figure already pays for, what lands on top of it, and what iRide360 will not pretend to be.

What the booking is	A car and one chauffeur held for a run of hours, with the route decided as the afternoon unfolds rather than at checkout. Give the chauffeur an address and the car goes there; change your mind at the second stop and it goes somewhere else
Road time	Charged as ordinary booked time. The run out of town, the climb into the hills, the crawl back along the coast at six o'clock: each of them sits inside the block you bought, and none is discounted for having nobody standing still in it
The hour, and the floor	Executive sedan from $75 an hour · luxury SUV from $100 an hour. The floor is 3 hours, which reads from $225 and from $300; the ceiling is 18 hours on a single booking. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, and your date is priced in full first. Beyond that the figure ignores demand, the hour and the day of the week
Standing still	Never on a meter, at any point inside the block. A tasting that overruns and one that finishes early come to the same, the hours having been bought either way (confirmed by iRide360, 6 November 2026)
Where the block opens and shuts	It opens with the passenger, at the address given, and shuts at the last drop-off. Begin at an airport and it opens on the aircraft genuinely touching down, the flight watched at no charge. Driving an empty car out to you is iRide360's expense (confirmed by iRide360, 6 November 2026)
Miles aboard, miles beyond	20 miles ride along with each booked hour. Beyond them a sedan mile adds $1 and an SUV mile adds $2.50. Those two belong to hourly work only; a one-way transfer runs off a separate card, and nothing on it reaches this page (confirmed by iRide360, 6 November 2026)
Absorbed, or added	Absorbed by the rate: tolls, taxes and the parking at every stop the day touches — a vineyard lot, a coast-road meter, a valet. Bought by the guest instead: an event venue's own entry pass. Added afterward: the gratuity you set at checkout, which may be nothing, and any overrun, stepped in half hours and always climbing to the next one
Seats, bags and cases	3 seats and 3 bags in the executive sedan; 5 seats and 5 bags in the luxury SUV, with no third class in existence. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation. Cases bought along the way compete for the room the luggage is already in, so count them before choosing. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles
Leaving the pickup city	Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply, and they apply twice over — in distance and in hours alike, driving being booked time. Malibu is its own city, so most wine days collected elsewhere meet this rule
What this is not	Not a tour, not a tasting package and not a guided anything. iRide360 names no vineyard as a partner, holds no reservation for you, publishes no route and quotes no estate's prices. A chauffeur drives and waits, and that is the whole of the job
Who you are booking	iRide360, a black car service running on California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A out of 222 N Pacific Coast Hwy, Suite 2000, El Segundo, California. Dispatch picks up on (833) 743-3360 round the clock. Every iRide360 vehicle carries at least $750,000 in liability insurance, and your ride is operated by iRide360 or a vetted, licensed affiliate partner

Published rates

How much does a Malibu wine tour car service cost?

From $75 an hour in an executive sedan and from $100 an hour in a luxury SUV, with a floor of 3 hours. Every figure on this page begins with the word from, for one published reason given under the table.

Booking length	Executive sedan	Luxury SUV	Driving in the rate
3 hours — the floor, and short for this day	from $225	from $300	20 miles on each hour booked
5 hours	from $375	from $500	20 miles on each hour booked
6 hours — the shape most wine days take	from $450	from $600	20 miles on each hour booked
8 hours	from $600	from $800	20 miles on each hour booked

Any whole number of hours between 3 and 18 can be reserved; these four are the ones people ask about. 6 sedan hours come to from $450 and 6 SUV hours to from $600 — the hourly figure taken 6 times and nothing else added. Tolls, taxes and parking sit inside each cell; gratuity does not.

Executive sedan, from $75 the hour

3 seats, 3 bags. The right car for two or three people who are not planning to carry much home, and the cheaper of the two by a quarter at every block length.

Luxury SUV, from $100 the hour

5 seats, 5 bags. The extra room matters more on this day than on most, because anything bought along the way competes with the luggage for the same space, so this is the class to take if anybody intends to buy by the case.

Does the date ever move the figure?

Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, and your own date is shown whole, on screen, before anything is committed to. That exception is why the word from leads every figure above. Nothing else reaches the rate — demand does not, nor the hour, nor the day of the week — so a Saturday in the hills is priced as a Wednesday is.

What the hourly rate includes

The car and one chauffeur for every booked hour, the road out and the road home included, because road time is booked time.
20 miles riding along with each booked hour, in both classes.
Every minute the car stands still — a tasting that overruns, a view nobody wants to leave, a slow pour.
Tolls, taxes and the parking at every stop the day touches: a vineyard lot, a coast-road meter, a valet.
Flight tracking where the day opens at an airport, so the hours start from the aircraft being down for real.
Fiji water, Wi-Fi and phone chargers, none of it charged for.

What is not included

The gratuity you set at checkout — 15, 18, 20 or 25 percent, a free box, or $0 — never attached before you have seen the total, and the chauffeur keeps all of it.
Any overrun — stepped in half hours and always climbing to the next one, so a 6-hour booking ending at 6 hours 20 minutes is charged as 6 hours 30 minutes and one ending at 6 hours 50 minutes as 7 hours.
Any mile past the allowance — $1 in the executive sedan, $2.50 in the luxury SUV.
An event venue's own entry pass — sold alongside its tickets and bought by the guest, which is the one thing the rate does not absorb.

A direction, not two addresses

Why a day in the Malibu hills is bought by the hour

A point-to-point fare needs two addresses and a straight line between them. A wine day has neither. It has a direction, a rough order, and a group that will change its mind twice before lunch — and the car has to be outside for all of it.

So this is sold as hours. You reserve a block, a chauffeur and a car hold still inside it, and where they go is settled on the day. The second stop can become the fourth. The last one can be dropped for a table somewhere on the coast road. None of that is a change to the booking; it is what the booking is.

The figure is the hourly rate times the hours. From $75 an hour by executive sedan, from $100 by luxury SUV, and a 6-hour block comes to from $450 or from $600. Nothing is packaged, nothing is tiered, and there is no wine-day rate separate from the hourly one.

Why a day in the Malibu hills is bought by the hour

Count the road before you count the stops

The thing worth knowing first: road time is booked time

This is where a Malibu day differs from a day spent inside the city, and it is worth settling before a block length is chosen.

Malibu's wine country is not on the beach. It sits inland, in the hills, and reaching it is a long drive from most of Los Angeles followed by a climb. Every minute of that is inside the block you reserved. An hour on Pacific Coast Highway costs what an hour parked outside a tasting room costs, which is the hourly rate, and the hour the coast road takes back from you at the end of a Saturday afternoon costs the same again.

Nobody is being charged twice here and nothing is being added. The point is simpler and it changes what to reserve: count the road into the block before you count the stops. A group that works out it wants 3 hours of tasting and reserves 3 hours has not reserved a wine day. It has reserved the drive.

What that means for the block you pick

Take the plan apart into four pieces and give each one honest hours: getting out there, moving between addresses once you have arrived, standing still at each of them, and coming home. Add them. Then add one more for the traffic, because Los Angeles collects that hour from every plan ever made in it.

For most groups the number that falls out is 6, not 3 or 4. 6 hours is from $450 by executive sedan and from $600 by luxury SUV. Reserve 6 and finish in 5 hours 30 minutes and you pay for 6; reserve 4 and run to 6 and you pay for more than 6, because of the way an overrun is charged. That rule is worked through in the overtime section below.

In the order they get asked

Before you reserve: the six answers a wine day turns on

An hourly rate on its own settles very little. What a day actually costs turns on how the waiting, the miles, the gratuity, the parking, the clock and the city line are handled, so here are iRide360's six answers, in the order they usually get asked.

1. Is the chauffeur's waiting time charged?

No. Not a minute of it, anywhere inside the block. The car stands outside while you are in a tasting room, while a group decides where to go next, while somebody goes back in for a jacket. Those hours were bought at the start and nothing standing still adds to them.

Point-to-point transfers are the one place iRide360 meters waiting at all — an arrival at the airport carries a free window and then a per-minute charge, and any other pickup carries a shorter free window. None of that reaches an hourly booking. Mentioning it here only to close the question: on this page there is no waiting charge to look for.

2. Is there a mileage limit, and what does a mile past it cost?

There is an allowance and it is published: 20 miles per booked hour. Past it, a further executive-sedan mile is $1 and a further luxury-SUV mile is $2.50.

Work it rather than nod at it, because this is the day where it bites. Malibu's shoreline alone runs 21 miles, so a single booked hour's allowance of 20 does not cover the length of the city — and the wine country sits inland of that coast, up in the hills, which is further again.

Take one hour on its own and the sum is small. An hour that covers 45 miles of road is 25 miles past the 20 that hour brought with it: $25 in the executive sedan, $62.50 in the luxury SUV. Run the same sum for each hour the plan really contains and you have the whole mileage question answered on paper, before anybody reserves anything.

A quiet hour's unused miles are lent to a busy one: the allowance is stated per booked hour and counted across the booking, confirmed by iRide360 on 7 November 2026. On a coast road day that is the rule that matters, because the hours parked above the water pay for the drive along it. Ask dispatch to confirm the mileage on your quote and it will be on the quote before you pay.

3. Is a gratuity added before I see the total?

No. Nothing is attached for you and nothing hides inside the hourly rate. The list at checkout runs 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent, with an empty box beside it and $0 among the choices, and the chauffeur keeps all of whatever you pick. Left alone, a 6-hour sedan block ends on from $450.

4. Who pays the parking and the tolls?

iRide360 does, straight out of the rate. A lot at a vineyard, a meter on the coast road, the valet wherever the day finishes, any toll crossed along the way — not one of them reaches the invoice, and nothing for them turns up on it later.

One exception stands, and it is not a wine-country one. Event venues sell entry passes of their own alongside the tickets, and that pass is the guest's to buy if the car is to come inside the gate. Without it the chauffeur waits just outside and comes forward when you call.

5. What moment do the booked hours start from?

The moment you are in the car, at the address you gave. Not when a vehicle sets off toward you, and not when it leaves El Segundo. Empty miles at either end are iRide360's expense. The block closes at the day's last drop-off rather than when the car reaches home.

Open the day at an airport instead and the hours start from the aircraft being down for real, not from the time on the ticket. Tracking that flight is part of the booking, so an arrival an hour behind slides the block an hour later rather than costing its first hour.

6. What happens when the day leaves the city it started in?

This is the answer that costs money on a Malibu day, and it gets a section of its own below. Short form: hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city, Malibu is its own city, and a day that crosses that line picks up both the extra distance and the extra hours.

Before you reserve: the six answers a wine day turns on

Inland, in the hills, behind a long coast

Where Malibu's wine country actually is

It is not on the beach, and expecting it to be is what makes a block look shorter than it needs to be.

The Malibu Coast appellation was established by the federal Tax and Trade Bureau on July 17, 2014. It covers roughly 44,590 acres across Los Angeles and Ventura counties, inside the rugged terrain of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, and it held 52 commercially producing vineyards with about 198 acres planted when it was established. Malibu itself stretches along 21 miles of Pacific coast, with the Pacific Coast Highway running through the city.

Read that as a shape rather than as trivia. The vineyards are spread across a large, hilly area behind a long coastline, which is why moving between two of them is a drive rather than a hop, and why a day out there spends more of itself traveling than a day spent inside the city does.

No drive time and no distance from a Los Angeles pickup to the Malibu Coast appellation appears on this page, because iRide360 has measured none for that origin and that destination. The mileage figures above are the allowance and the per-mile rate, which are iRide360's own.

Half hours, and always upward

What happens if the day runs long

Time past the reserved block is charged in 30-minute increments and always rounded up. A 6-hour booking that ends at 6 hours 20 minutes is charged as 6 hours 30 minutes. One that ends at 6 hours 50 minutes is charged as 7 hours. There is no separate overtime rate and no premium: the hours past the block cost what the hours inside it cost.

Say so to the chauffeur while the block is still running and the booking simply continues, up to the 18-hour ceiling on one reservation.

This is not the waiting rule and the two should not be read together. Inside the block nothing is charged for standing still, however long a room holds you. The rounding reaches only the time after the block is exhausted.

The line, drawn before anybody reserves

What iRide360 does not do on a wine day

Saying this plainly saves a phone call, and it draws the line in the right place before anyone reserves anything.

No vineyard is a partner: iRide360 has no arrangement, no relationship and no standing with any estate in the Malibu hills or anywhere else.
Nothing is booked for you: no tasting is reserved, no table is held, no list is sent ahead. You arrange your own stops and give the chauffeur the addresses.
No itinerary is published: there is no suggested route on this page and no stop count, because publishing one would imply arrangements that do not exist.
No estate's prices appear here: what anything costs once you are out of the car is between you and whoever is pouring it.
A chauffeur is not a guide: they drive, they handle the cases, and they wait. They do not narrate, host or run the day.

What iRide360 sells is the car, the chauffeur and the hours. Everything on the far side of the car door is yours.

Two classes, and the room the cases compete for

The cars, the seats, and where the cases ride

Two classes, and no third

An executive sedan with 3 seats and 3 bags, or a luxury SUV with 5 seats and 5 bags. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles — worth stating outright, because a wine day is exactly the occasion on which somebody asks for one. There is not one to ask for. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, which keeps a group of six or seven on a single booking, moving together, rather than on two bookings that have to be reconciled afterward.

What you carry home

Cases, bottles and anything else bought along the way compete for the same room the luggage is already in: 3 bags' worth in the sedan, 5 in the SUV. A group planning to buy properly should pick the SUV for the space rather than for the seats, or take the second car.

What is already in the car

Every car carries Fiji water, Wi-Fi and phone chargers, none of it charged for. For anything else you would like aboard, say so while reserving and dispatch will tell you whether it can be arranged.

The sixth answer, and the one that costs money here

Malibu is its own city, and your pickup probably is not

Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.

The rule is awkward on exactly this page, which is why it is here in full. Meeting it on an invoice rather than before booking is the worse way to meet it.

Malibu is an incorporated city with 21 miles of coast and its own hills behind them. A day collected in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills or anywhere else and spent out there is a day that runs outside its pickup city, and the rule applies to it in full.

What “additional charges” means, concretely: two counters, both of them already printed above, and nothing beyond them. Distance — once an hour's 20 miles are used, every further mile is $1 in the executive sedan and $2.50 in the luxury SUV. Hours — driving out and driving home both sit inside the block, whether or not there is anybody in the back. It is the road-time rule above, read from the far end.

There is no separate out-of-city fee, no zone charge and no minimum attached to leaving town. There is the mileage and there is the clock.

The day this rule does not touch: a day that starts and finishes in Malibu — a stay out there, a hotel on the coast, a house borrowed for the weekend — is an ordinary in-city hourly booking and this rule never surfaces. The hours still cover the road between the hills, and the allowance still runs at 20 miles to the hour, but nothing is crossing a city line.

If the plan is really one long run out, several hours standing still, and one long run home, phone (833) 743-3360 before booking anything. Dispatch will price it as a transfer, or as a longer block, and say which of the two comes to less. That call takes a minute, and on a day shaped like this one it is where the money is saved.

The arithmetic, if you want it

Suppose an afternoon's second hour spends itself entirely on the road and covers 52 miles. That hour brought 20, so 32 are chargeable: $32 by executive sedan, $80 by luxury SUV. Suppose two hours of the day look like that and the rest stay local to the hills — the mileage on top is $64 by sedan or $160 by SUV, before a minute of overtime.

A day that looks like that on paper is usually quoted better as a transfer out, a block in the hills, and a transfer home. Dispatch will tell you which way is cheaper for your own addresses; it is not a figure this page can work out for you.

Answers before you travel

Malibu wine tour car service: frequently asked questions

What does a Malibu wine tour car service cost by the hour?

From $75 an hour in an executive sedan and from $100 in a luxury SUV, with a 3-hour floor at from $225 and from $300. A 6-hour afternoon, the usual shape, is from $450 or from $600.

Is the drive out along the coast part of the hours I pay for?

Yes. Road time is booked time, so an hour on Pacific Coast Highway costs the same as an hour standing outside a tasting room. Count the travel into the block before you count the stops.

How long should the block be for a day in the hills?

6 hours suits most groups — from $450 by sedan, from $600 by SUV. Total the run out, the moves between addresses, the standing still and the run home, then add one hour for traffic.

How far does 20 miles on each hour booked actually get us?

Not as far as people expect on this day. Malibu's shoreline alone runs 21 miles, and the vineyards sit inland of it in the hills. Price the extra miles on paper before reserving.

Once an hour's 20 miles are gone, what is the next one?

$1 for an executive-sedan mile and $2.50 for a luxury-SUV mile. A five-hour day carries 100 miles, so an hour covering 45 of them only costs extra if the whole day runs past its total; 25 miles past it is $25 by sedan or $62.50 by SUV. Dispatch confirms mileage on the quote.

We are collected in Santa Monica. Does spending the day in Malibu cost extra?

Yes. Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply — the miles past the allowance, and the hours the driving takes. Malibu is its own city.

Does the chauffeur wait outside while we are at a tasting room?

Yes, and nothing is charged for it. No minute inside an hourly block is metered, wherever the car is standing. The hours were bought at the start and the waiting is already in them.

The afternoon overran by 40 minutes. How does that bill?

As a whole extra hour. Overtime moves in half hours and only ever upward, so 40 minutes past the block is not 40 minutes of charge but 60. No separate overtime rate exists.

Who picks up the parking along the way?

iRide360, out of the rate, along with the tolls and the taxes — a vineyard lot, a coast-road meter, a valet. The one exception is an event venue's own entry pass, which the guest buys.

Is the gratuity mine to set, and when?

Yours, at checkout, once the total is in front of you. Nothing is attached automatically and nothing hides inside the rate. The list runs 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent, a box of your own, and $0. The chauffeur keeps it.

Does iRide360 choose the vineyards, hold the bookings or send a guide?

No to all three. iRide360 has no arrangement with any estate, reserves no tastings and publishes no route. A chauffeur drives, carries the cases and waits; they do not narrate or host.

Is a Saturday in the hills priced above a Wednesday?

No. There is no surge, no peak rate, no evening rate and no weekend rate. One published exception: rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, and your date is priced in full first.

There are seven of us — is there one vehicle that takes us all?

No. Two classes exist and no third: no vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, so seven people go out in two cars on one booking.

Where do the cases ride?

In the luggage space, which is 3 bags' worth in the executive sedan and 5 in the luxury SUV. What you buy competes with what you brought, so a group intending to carry a lot home should book the SUV.
