Convention center transport handles group rides to and from the Los Angeles Convention Center, Anaheim Convention Center, and related hotels.
This service covers exhibitor pickups, attendee shuttles, and executive sedan runs during major trade shows. We coordinate pickups from LAX, BUR, LGB, and area hotels. Our dispatch team is based in New York and routes your Los Angeles convention rides through vetted local affiliate operators.
Exhibitors, corporate attendees, medical associations, and tech companies use this service in Los Angeles.
January brings the NAMM Show to the Anaheim Convention Center, drawing roughly 100,000 attendees. July brings Anime Expo, the largest anime convention in North America, to the Los Angeles Convention Center. The Los Angeles Convention Center contains about 720,000 square feet of exhibit space. November hosts the LA Auto Show downtown. Other frequent users include pharmaceutical conferences, real estate expos, and toy and gaming conventions at the Long Beach Convention Center. Hotels near LA Live, the Anaheim Resort District, and Long Beach see heavy convention traffic.
Pricing is based on fixed routes or hourly shuttle blocks.
Sedan transfers start at $130 for LAX to Downtown Los Angeles and $130 for LAX to Hollywood. Sprinter shuttles start at $240 per hour with a four-hour minimum. Mini-coach shuttles for larger attendee groups start at $175 per hour. Multi-day event contracts receive flat-rate discounts. We also offer fixed-route group rates between airports and convention hotels.
The honest limitation is convention load-zone congestion and venue security rules.
Both the Los Angeles Convention Center and Anaheim Convention Center restrict where commercial vehicles can stop. During load-in and load-out, curb space is limited and security may require permits. We designate meeting points away from the busiest doors and communicate them before each run. Exact curbside pickup at the main entrance is rarely possible during peak hours. Planning an extra few minutes into your schedule helps avoid missed connections.
Getting around the Los Angeles Convention Center
The Los Angeles Convention Center sits at the south end of Downtown along Figueroa Street and Pico Boulevard, next to L.A. Live and Crypto.com Arena. When a trade show and an arena event overlap, the surrounding blocks back up quickly, so dispatch sets the drop point for your hall before the day starts and your chauffeur confirms the pickup spot for the return. Hotels around L.A. Live and in the Financial District are a short ride away, which makes an hourly shuttle loop practical for exhibitors moving between the hotel, the hall and client dinners.
Anaheim and multi-venue weeks
Many visitors split time between the LACC and the Anaheim Convention Center near the Disneyland Resort. The drive from Downtown Los Angeles to Anaheim typically runs 35 to 70 minutes on the 5, depending on the hour, so plan those transfers outside the morning and evening peaks where you can.
Booking for a team
For a booth team, send the hotel, show hours, head count, and whether display cases or sample kits are coming along. Sedans suit one to three people, the Escalade handles six with luggage, and a Sprinter moves up to 14 at once. Hourly rates start at $120 for a sedan, $150 for an SUV and $240 for the Sprinter, with a three-hour minimum. See Downtown Los Angeles for local pickup notes and the Los Angeles to Anaheim route.
