Travel
Uber & Taxi Information
- Uber is not reliably available within or nearby Ojai. If you do happen to find a driver, more often than not they will need to travel approximately 25 minutes from the nearby City of Ventura in order to pick you up.
- There is one taxi service within Ojai: Topa Topa Taxi. Reservations are recommended 48 hours in advance; if you need taxi services in less than 48 hours, please call (805) 312-2288. Topa Topa Taxi provides 24/7 service 365 days a year, and is an option for those coming to Ojai from LAX, as well as an option for those who just need a ride in town.
Airport Information
Los Angeles International Airport (“LAX”), Santa Barbara, and Burbank are easily accessed and offer a relatively short ride to Ojai, however LAX will most likely have the most options and competitive fares.
- LAX: 1 hour 45 min
- Santa Barbara: 50 min
- Burbank: 1 hour 30 min
Please keep in mind that these are best estimates only. Traffic in and around the Los Angeles area is very heavy at times, especially within several hours of rush hour. We recommend building in an extra 30 to 60 minutes of buffer time to account for potential delays on the road.
If you are renting a car, we recommend building in another 60 minutes to allow enough time to land, collect any luggage from baggage claim, take the shuttle bus to the rental car location, and rent/pickup the rental car.
