Swede & Eva started Eva's Limousine Service LLC. in 1981 in Ventura, being more or less the pioneers in limousine service. Our utmost goals have always been to offer meticulously clean limousines and having a variety of limousines to fit most needs.
We have been asked many times how we got started. Eva and Swede immigrated to Ventura back in 1980, We were car enhusiasts and have always loved cars from Hot Rods to customs and lead sleds, when we were down south of Los Angeles one day withour friend Hans we saw a limousine pull up, boy were we fascinated we oood and aaahd, finally we said lets try to find one that might need some work and could be a deal. At the time Swede was working in a autobody and paint shop. Well we lookedfor many months and finally found one that could use some help.
I left a note on the window and I got a call back a month later. My friend and I talked about it and we thought it was a little pricy for the condition it was in. We had promised to call on Saturday, well Saturday came around and my friend backed out of the deal. We had been planning to make an offer and I couldn't afford all of it by myself. I didn't call Saturday, this was eating me inside since I am a man of honor and his word,
Sunday morning came around I was thinking things over when the original owner called me. Swede he said, the manager of my hair salon walked off last night with the entire drop. Rents due today, and my landlord is telling me if i don't have the rent to him by 3pm he is going to evict me. That salon has made me more money than that limo ever did. If you can get me half what I was asking by 1pm the limo is yours.

I love them !! They were perfect for my daughters wedding ! I booked last minute and they took care of me right away ! They are very friendly and reasonable . I had called 4 other limo services and they demanded I book for 5 hours and I only needed the limo for 2 hours , Eva's limo gave my just that ! The driver was very professional and pleasant !! We got to pop a bottles of Champaign and went out like a bang !!! I so highly recommend them !!!

I wouldn't trust these people to drive my dog. They crashed into my wife and were 100% at fault. All while being uninsured and I had to pay for the damage to her vehicle. How can you even be a driving company with no insurance? Then the guy that crashed into my wife came to MY HOUSE and tried to intimidate my wife. I should have sued them like EVERYONE told me to.

Had a wonderful trip! Went from Cam to Disneyland and back, again over the course of 4 days! Kids had never experienced a "true stretch." Swede, our driver, provided sparkling apple cider, as well as other "kid friendly" beverages. The kids were blown away! We toasted our departure from home and cranked the tunes they love all the way there! On the return trip, 4 days later, Swede greeted us at the door of The Grand Californian with all the enthusiasm he shared on the ride down. we, again, had all the same luxuries any kid would love! My sincerest thanks and appreciation to Eva's and Swede for making the kids special weekend even more special!

Eva's limousines was great! When I had originally called for a quote I wasn't sure if I was going to have 8 or 9 people total, and I talked to Svede. Not only did he give me a great quote, he was honest and gave me pointers for calling around to get other quotes. In the end, his rate was the best, but I went back because of the friendly service. I would definitely use them again!

One of the limousine drivers with a curly mustache like The Wizard of Oz just try pulling into in and out burger and almost ran into me and forced me to back up a lot. He should have never pulled into that spot knowing that there was a car turning already. He had no consideration for the vehicles around him. that was a terrible spot for him to pull into as it's a very tight parking lot for that long of a vehicle. Because of that I will never recommend Eva's limousine service and I would never use it.

Was very disappointed the limo was very out dated. There was no outlet for music connection (aux cable) and was over charged from the original invoice. Would definitely not recommend them or use this limo service again. My apologies to our driver who was great but the rest of the services just ruined it

After having a horrible experience with a competitor which should not go un-named (24-7) we tried again and believe we're set for life. Round trip to LAX, the inbound ride was a nice surprise as all the town cars were in use so they brought a stretch. Rolf the driver "knew some stuff" and got us through morning rush hour along the coast in record time.
Even using a shortcut through Venice I didn't know about. The high praise begins on the return trip. Some knucklehead took our bag and left theirs on the belt. Three hours we waited for them to return to the airport. Rolf (again to my good fortune) had the assignment, hung in there like a champ. I had spoken to Eva personally who had to alay my fears.
I was thrilled to see him moments after we hit the bad air. The drive home melted into mere moments with the bonhome we shared. If Yelp does not include this review y'all should think twice about their alleged unbiased editing.

Rolph our Limo driver was the Greatest! He arrived at our pick up location 10 minutes early which allowed us to decorate the inside with balloons for my daughters 13th birthday. There were 8 girls singing, screaming, and laughing and he never batted an eye. We will definetly use Eva's again! Rolph thank you for a memorable day!

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE My finance and I were just calling to see what was available for our wedding day.we were just trying to get a quote and see what packages were available. We wanted to use the limo for a couple of hours to drive me and my bridesmaids from the hotel to the wedding location and then come back to drop us off after the wedding.just trying to see if it could be done.the guy over the phone started attacking my finance right off the bat."what do you do for a living" being a total jerk about it.we were just trying to figure something out.the guy was belittling us.a simple "NO" and lets figure something out is Customer Service 101.again HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.
