Airport transfers are pre-booked sedan and SUV rides between LAX, BUR, LGB, and addresses across Los Angeles County.
Flight crews, corporate road warriors, entertainment assistants, and family groups book airport transfers every day. We cover curbside pickups, meet-and-greet inside the terminal, and direct service to Downtown LA, Century City, Santa Monica, Pasadena, and the San Fernando Valley. Our dispatch team is a New York-based company that coordinates your Los Angeles ride through vetted local affiliate operators. That structure gives us national account support with drivers who know local terminals.
Flight crews, corporate travelers, entertainment assistants, and visiting families use this service in Los Angeles.
Entertainment assistants use this service for talent arriving at LAX Terminal 4 or the private aviation side. Law firms and finance teams fly into Hollywood Burbank Airport for meetings near Warner Center or Downtown. Medical consultants and out-of-town families often use Long Beach Airport for its shorter security lines. Common destinations include the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, The Beverly Hilton, Santa Monica Proper, and studio lots in Burbank and Culver City. Summer tourist season and awards season in January and February create the heaviest inbound volume.
Pricing is fixed-route sedan pricing plus parking, tolls, and any meet-and-greet fee.
Sample sedan base rates include LAX to Downtown Los Angeles from $130 and LAX to Beverly Hills from $130. LAX to Santa Monica starts at a written flat rate, and LAX to Hollywood starts at a written flat rate. Longer runs such as LAX to Pasadena start at $125, while Burbank to Downtown Los Angeles starts at a written flat rate. Hollywood to Burbank runs start at a written flat rate, and Long Beach to Downtown starts at a written flat rate. SUV upgrades, additional stops, and late-night requests add to the base. We bill parking and airport fees at actual cost.
The honest limitation is terminal congestion and the ongoing LAX modernization project.
LAX is currently undergoing a roughly $30 billion capital improvement program scheduled through 2028. That construction causes lane shifts, terminal detours, and longer curbside waits. Hollywood Burbank Airport sits about 8 miles northwest of downtown Glendale and is easier to navigate, but it still closes runways for overnight maintenance. Long Beach Airport has fewer commercial flights but can experience general aviation traffic that affects runway access. We track flights, pad arrival windows, and adjust pickups in real time, but exact curbside timing is never guaranteed.
How an airport transfer runs, from booking to curb
The reservation form asks for your airline and flight number. Dispatch uses them to follow the landing, so an early or late arrival moves your chauffeur's timing instead of leaving you waiting. Domestic arrivals carry a 30-minute grace window and international arrivals 60 minutes, which covers the walk from the gate, baggage claim and, for overseas flights into the Tom Bradley International Terminal, customs.
Departures work in reverse. Your chauffeur arrives at the hotel, home or office at the confirmed time, loads the bags and takes whichever route suits the hour: the 110 and 105 from Downtown, the 405 or Sepulveda and La Cienega from the Westside, or the 134 and the 5 when you are leaving Pasadena for Burbank. Tell dispatch which airline you are flying and you are dropped at the right door on the departures level.
Choosing the right vehicle for the flight
A solo traveler with a carry-on and a checked bag rides comfortably in the executive sedan. Families and small teams with strollers, golf bags or sample cases usually need the Cadillac Escalade, which seats six with room for six bags. The S-Class is the choice when the arrival itself matters, and the Sprinter carries up to 14 passengers when a crew or wedding party lands together.
One-way transfers are priced per trip, starting from $130 for a sedan and $160 for an SUV, and the reservation form shows the exact figure for your address before you confirm. If you want the car to stay with you after landing, hourly service runs $120 for a sedan, $150 for an SUV, $230 for the S-Class and $240 for the Sprinter, each with a three-hour minimum. Airport-specific pickup notes are in the LAX guide, the Burbank guide and the Long Beach guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle flight delays?+
We monitor commercial flight status. Domestic arrivals receive a 30-minute grace window; international arrivals receive 60 minutes before additional wait-time charges apply.
Can you pick up from any LAX terminal?+
Yes. Sedans and SUVs use designated commercial pickup zones. Sprinter and larger vehicles must stage at LAX-it or a pre-arranged commercial area, which can add a few minutes.
Do you serve private aviation terminals?+
Yes. We coordinate pickups at LAX Atlantic Aviation, Burbank Jet Center, and similar FBOs with advance notice.
What should I include when booking an airport pickup?+
Give the airline, flight number, arrival date, passenger count and number of bags, and say whether you want curbside pickup or a meet-and-greet inside the terminal at LAX. Your confirmation then lists the exact pickup point and your chauffeur’s contact details.
How far ahead should I book an airport transfer?+
As early as your itinerary allows. Short-notice requests are accepted when capacity allows, but award season, summer weekends and big convention weeks fill up quickly, so booking ahead is the safer choice.
