NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Your chauffeur network in Newport Beach
A harbor full of yachts, an airport next door and clients who expect the car to be waiting. Uways connects you with professional black car and limo drivers across Newport Beach and Orange County, so every client is covered, even on your busiest day.
JOBS ALL AROUND THE HARBOR
A HARBOR TOWN SINCE 1906
Life on the water, schedules on land
Newport Beach grew up around one of the largest small boat harbors on the West Coast. The Balboa Island ferry has carried three cars at a time across the bay since 1919, and the Christmas Boat Parade has lit up the harbor every December since 1908. Today the city mixes yacht clubs, company headquarters and some of the best dinners in Orange County. Clients here notice when the car is late. When two pickups land at the same time, Uways helps you find a trusted driver nearby and hand one over.
