About this city
What we know about driving in Monterey
The notes on the right are specific to Monterey — the airports we actually use for your address, the routes we run most often, and how we usually match a vehicle to your party. Nothing here is copied from another city page.
Overview
Monterey pairs a working harbor with world-class scenery, a busy convention footprint and an airport that rewards a chauffeur who knows the curbs. Your chauffeur handles MRY, 17-Mile Drive and the run up 101 to Silicon Valley without either the harbor or the highway feeling like an afterthought.
Who this page serves
We regularly drive Monterey residents and Peninsula visitors, wedding parties staying at Monterey Plaza and InterContinental Clement, convention attendees at the Monterey Conference Center, and travelers arriving at Monterey Jet Center.
Airport strategy
MRY is 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Monterey. SJC is 75 to 100 minutes up 101. SFO is 130 to 170 minutes depending on Bay Area conditions.
Private aviation
Monterey Jet Center at MRY handles most private aviation traffic; Salinas Municipal Airport and Watsonville Municipal Airport are alternate general aviation fields. Share tail number, FBO and block time and your chauffeur meets the aircraft.
Common routes
Popular Monterey rides include Monterey Jet Center arrivals to Pebble Beach and Carmel, home or hotel to SJC for onward flights, 17-Mile Drive and Big Sur day trips, and wedding parties at Peninsula venues.
Local destinations
Locally we drive to Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Old Fisherman's Wharf, Monterey Conference Center and hotels including Monterey Plaza Hotel, InterContinental The Clement, Portola Hotel & Spa and Hyatt Regency Monterey.
Planning notes
Cannery Row and Alvarado Street tighten on summer weekends; your chauffeur uses quieter approaches for hotel loading. For weddings across the Peninsula we plan approach and pickup by ceremony location so vehicles are staged in the right lot.
Vehicle selection
A Lincoln Aviator suits couples and single travelers off private aircraft. A Chevrolet Suburban LT covers four to six with luggage. A Sprinter serves wedding parties, convention groups and 17-Mile Drive tours.
