We are proud to not only offer the top-rated Agoura Hills limo service and party bus rentals, but our limousine services also offer a price-match guarantee to all clients. Nestled between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Simi Hills of eastern Conejo Valley, it can be considered a western entrance to the Los Angeles metropolis. Just thirteen miles from the Pacific Ocean and a gateway to the wilderness of the Santa Monica Mountains, it is also less than ten miles from Downtown LA and less than five miles from our headquarters at American Luxury Limousine at Willow Lane in Thousand Oaks.
This community of barely 20,000 sits literally on the borders of Oak Park, Westlake Village, and Calabasas, an area hugely popular for our Agoura Hills limo service clients. Agoura is also a popular destination for many of our party bus clients on their wedding day, with the Triunfo Creek Vineyards being a popular destination for wedding transportation by limousine or party bus rentals. Agoura is also home to an abundance of celebrities and stars, including Ray Romano, Kirk Cameron, Ron Goldman, Heather Graham, and many more.
Another particularly popular activity amongst our limousine clientele is all the customized wine tours we offer in this particular region.

Here are some of our services’ tips on Agoura: from film locations, local history, fun facts, and popular attractions.
Best Place To Live?
Agoura rates are top-notch in most. It’s an unusually safe city. With 1,550 crimes per 100,000 people, it has nearly half the crime of California as a whole (3,050 per 100/000). In other words, just three robberies took place here in 2011. In 2015, Agoura was rated “the 14th safest city in California” by SafeWise, by far outranking cities such as Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks. It has been rated one of the top 100 “places to live in America” by Money Magazine.
It has been rated one of the safest communities in Los Angeles County by LA Times. According to the FBI in 2014, it has a violent crime rate of 0.82/1,000 residents, and ranks as safer than Malibu, Calabasas, and even Avalon on Catalina Island! Furthermore, Agoura was rated “the second-best place to live in Southern California” by Area Vibes in 2016. Forbes Magazine named Agoura one of America’s richest communities in 2005. According to the Los Angeles Times in 2017, the city has a median income of over $117,500. That made it the 23rd most affluent community in Los Angeles. In this rank, Agoura rates as a richer community than Hermosa Beach, Marina del Rey, and even Beverly Hills!
History
In November of 1982, when voters voted to become LA County’s 83rd city, the name “Las Virgenes” was one of the names considered for the new city. The name finally became Agoura Hills and its original city hall was a leased storefront building on Canwood Street. A lot has changed since way back then, and Agoura Hills is now considered one of the finest and wealthiest communities in the larger Los Angeles Area. Once inhabited by Chumash Native Americans for thousands of years, Agoura Hills is a thriving suburban city with tons of history. Many of the Indian artifacts and Chumash history can also be seen at the nearby Chumash Indian Museum. A popular Agoura Hills limousine and party bus destination is also the Reyes Adobe Historical Site, which was built in 1850 and is a beautiful piece of California history. In the early 1900s, the community also functioned as an extremely successful movie location due to the Morrison- and Paramount Movie Ranches.
Movies Filmed in Agoura Hills
Two things most Agoura Hills limo service clients don’t know: 1) Agoura was once called Picture City after its successful Paramount Movie Ranch, and 2) Movies are still being filmed at Paramount Ranch. Over 500 movies and television series have been filmed in Agoura. Few may know that the biking scene in The Karate Kid (1984) was filmed here. Behind 660 Macadam Court is where Daniel gets run off the street by bullies. The scenes when the veteran returns in Gone with the Wind (1939) were filmed here, and numerous neighborhood scenes in Poltergeist (1982) were filmed throughout town. The big tree at the opening of the film is for example located at Rustling Oaks Dr.
We’ve had limo clients booking Poltergeist-themed movie tours where they have combined film locales throughout Agoura- and Simi Valley. Lake Vista Drive can be seen in the classic The Great Dictator (1940), while Triunfo Creek Vineyards is featured in the horror film Visions (2015). North Ranch on Kanan is featured in Little Big Man (1970), while Johnny Rico’s (Casper Van Dien) home in Starship Troopers (1997) is also located in Agoura. A recent trend for limo clients is cinematic tours to movie locations by limousine services. Come check out your favorite filming locales! Larger groups can reserve party bus rentals and head throughout the Greater LA Area to see movie locations.
Paramount Studio Ranch might be the world’s most famous movie ranch and where hundreds of movies and TV series have been filmed. Just a few of them are Gunsmoke (1955), The Rifleman (1958), Tom Sawyer (1938), The Santa Fe Trail (1930), The Avenger (1931), Streets of Laredo (1949), Son of Paleface (1952) and hundreds of others. Movie filming at this ranch took mostly place between the 1920s and the mid-1940s, but many limo clients don’t realize movies are still filmed here.
More recent movies with scenes from Paramount Ranch include Charlie’s Angels (1976), Van Helsing (2004), Big Bad Mama II (1987), MacGyver (1985), The Dukes of Hazzard (1979), and many more. The ranch is also featured in the episode “Grubby Longjohns” in the TV series Lizzie McGuire (2001). It has also been used for filming episodes of Westworld (2016-), The X-Files (1993-), The Dukes of Hazzard (1979-1985), and many others. It is the location of several racing scenes in Death Race 2000 (1975), while it can be seen as a golf course in The Great Outdoors (1988). An old barn was raised here for the film Crazy Mama (1975). No wonder this ranch is such a popular destination for limousine services and party bus rentals! Click here to see a full list of movies filmed at the ranch.
The Morrison Ranch was yet another popular filming location in Agoura. Some of the movies filmed here include Tall in the Saddle (1944) starring John Wayne, Billy the Kid Returns (1938) starring Roy Rogers, The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1938), Sioux City Sue (1946), The Durango Kid (1940), Sons of New Mexico (1950), Drango (1957), Hills of Utah (1951), The Hard Man (1957), Last Frontier Uprising (1947) and others.
