Car seats and family travel
Airport Rides with Free Child Car Seats
California law requires children under 8 to ride in a car seat or booster unless they are already 4 feet 9 inches tall. We carry infant, convertible and booster seats at no charge and fit them before you leave — so the airport run starts with the children buckled in, not with a seat being wrestled into place at the curb.
10% off for cash or military ID — one discount per ride.
