Experience your Californian exotic car self-guided drive

Arrival and Welcome
Arrive into Santa Barbara. Check-in to your first hotel then spend the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the property. Set amid lush hills overlooking the Pacific, this five-star property is lauded as the region’s most iconic boutique resort. In the afternoon you'll meet our representative for a detailed walk through and handover of your chosen vehicle for your Californian self drive.
First Drive Day
The first day of your luxurious self-guided driving tour of California will take you from Santa Barbara to Paso Robles via the twists and turns of the Los Padres National Forest. Discover the diverse landscapes of the region from lush coastlines to semi-desert ecosystems further inland, before arriving into a boutique Tuscan-inspired retreat for the evening.
Second Drive Day
Day two will see you follow the Paso Robles wine trail before enjoying the sparsely trafficked backroads that traverse the rolling hills of central California. Take advantage of your proximity to Carmel Valley to explore the exceptional local wine boutiques. In the early afternoon you will arrive into a luxurious resort and spa in the heart of Californian Wine Country.
Third Drive Day
For your third day, we recommend a relaxed start, and perhaps even a lie-in to recharge before a long and rewarding final day. Today, however, is a shorter day and will take you around the Carmel Valley coastline through Monterey and Pebble Beach via the unmistakable 17 Mile Drive. That afternoon you will stop close to Big Sur at an exclusive and ultra-luxe resort.
Fourth Drive Day
Your final day of driving is a big one! Prepare to discover the iconic Highway 1 all the way from Big Sur back to Los Angeles. Take time to appreciate the spectacular sweeping ocean views along your way. Once you’ve arrived in Santa Monica, a member of our team will meet you to arrange your vehicle’s return and the conclusion of your journey before onward travel.

Choose your exotic car for your West Coast self-drive package


Labelled as the most important Aston in the marques history, the DB11 is a supremely sophisticated blend of hypermodern, road-crushing technologies and old-school Gran Tourer charm.


If you're hungry for a gorgeous, driver-friendly supercar that's quick-as-lightning, the new release update to the incredible R8 delivers, and then some. Consider your wish granted.


Solely responsible for the revival of the modern Bentley brand, the Continental GT is the perfect grand tourer, sporting a unique twin-turbo W12 and a truly luxurious interior.


The Huracan is a fantastic combination of fast, loud, and sharp. With an ingenious 4WD system, the Performante offers impressive technical specs and performance to boot.


Be warned: while there are many fast cars out there, few have the performance capabilities that require drivers to up their game so profoundly. Are you ready for this beast?


With a dauntingly low driving position, way back over the rear axle, the devastatingly handsome GTR draws heavily on the lauded SLS. An agile yet comfortable grand tourer.


For decades, the 911 has been the stuff of legend - a title it continues to claim today. Capable in all situations, this precision instrument remains a timeless inclusion on our tours.
