Burbank chauffeur and car service

Visit Burbank, the city's tourism bureau, divides Burbank into four neighborhoods: Downtown, the Media District, Magnolia Park and the Airport District. Downtown runs along San Fernando Boulevard from the Burbank Town Center at 201 East Magnolia Boulevard and counts more than 600 shops, restaurants and activities, so evening curbs fill quickly. Magnolia Park is a stretch of vintage shops and casual cafes along Magnolia Boulevard, and the Airport District includes the Empire Center shopping area.

Each area calls for a slightly different pickup. Downtown is easiest with a cross street or a building entrance rather than a block of San Fernando Boulevard. In Magnolia Park, name the shop or cafe. In the Airport District, a hotel entrance or a named store at the Empire Center is easier for the chauffeur to find than a parking lot row.

The Media District holds the city's major studio lots, including The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. Studios, along with production and broadcast companies. Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is at 3400 Warner Boulevard, and the tour asks rideshare and taxi guests to request a drop-off at that address, which places them directly in front of the Tour Center. A chauffeured car can use the same address.

For meetings on a working lot, ask your contact which gate to use and whether your name needs to be on a guest list, then pass that on with the booking. Studio days rarely run to the minute, so a day across several lots usually works better as hourly service, with a 3-hour minimum online and the chauffeur waiting with the car between stops. Teams and recurring trips are covered on Burbank corporate car service.

Hollywood Burbank Airport opened an all-new terminal in October 2026. The airport's FAQ now describes one terminal with 14 gates used by all of its commercial airlines, at 2827 North Hollywood Way, about 6 miles from Downtown Burbank and usually 10 to 25 minutes away depending on traffic. The airport also describes itself as about 12 miles north of Downtown Los Angeles.

Because the building is new, walking routes and pickup points differ from the old terminal, so this page does not describe a meeting spot. Include your flight number when you book and confirm the meeting point with your chauffeur, who contacts you by text or phone after landing. The airport says greeters can wait in the baggage claim area, so with the Meet & Greet add-on, which includes up to one hour of terminal waiting, your chauffeur meets you there.

For most Burbank trips, BUR is the much shorter ride. LAX is about 28 miles from Downtown Burbank, usually 45 to 100 minutes depending on traffic, because the route either crosses the hills on I-405 or loops through Downtown Los Angeles. LAX can still make sense for international flights or a better schedule, and LAX to Burbank covers that arrival leg in detail.

Private flights often use Van Nuys Airport, about 15 miles west, usually 20 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. BUR itself lists two on-site fixed base operators, Hollywood Burbank Airport Jet Center and Atlantic Aviation. At any airport, the chauffeur monitors the flight and arrives based on the actual landing time, and domestic arrivals include a complimentary waiting period after landing.

With I-5 and SR-134 both running through or beside the city, much of the eastern Valley and the hills is close. Glendale is about 6 miles away, Hollywood about 7 miles over the hill and Universal Studios Hollywood about 5 miles. Downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena are each about 12 miles, usually 20 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. See Glendale and Universal Studios Hollywood for those trips.

Visit Burbank points out that the Hollywood Bowl and Dodger Stadium are a few miles away. For big concerts and stadium games, hourly service, typically 5 to 8 hours, is strongly recommended over a one-way pickup, because the car stays close while exits clear. The Hollywood Bowl page covers drop-off details for Bowl nights.

Production travelers often carry equipment cases and garment bags along with suitcases, so size the vehicle to the gear as well as the people. A Comfort Sedan or Executive Sedan carries up to 3 passengers and 3 bags, the Escalade Elite up to 6 passengers and 5 bags and the Luxury SUV up to 7 passengers and 6 bags. A Mercedes Sprinter Van carries up to 16 passengers and 18 bags, which suits a crew landing together.

These capacities are maximums, and an equivalent vehicle may be substituted. If you book an arrival and the ride back to the airport together as a round trip, both legs appear as two linked reservations. You receive chauffeur details and a live tracking link before each pickup.
