A city within a city

Century City was built on land that had been the backlot of 20th Century Fox. According to the Century City Chamber of Commerce, a master plan by Welton Becket and Associates called for a city within a city of offices, shops and homes, built around wide boulevards including Avenue of the Stars, which was modeled on the Champs-Elysees. The twin 44-story Century Plaza Towers were completed in 1975.

Because the district was designed for cars, most buildings sit on large blocks with their own drives and garages. The useful pickup point is usually a building's main entrance or drop-off drive rather than a curb on Avenue of the Stars. Give the building address and, if you know it, the entrance you will use, and the chauffeur meets you there.

Westfield Century City and the hotels

Westfield Century City, at 10250 Santa Monica Boulevard, is the district's shopping and dining center. For a short visit, a drop-off at a named entrance with a set pickup time is simpler than parking. For an afternoon of shopping with bags, an hourly booking keeps the car close, with a 3-hour minimum online.

Hotels in the district, including the Century Plaza designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, put visitors within walking distance of the office towers, and many trips start at a hotel entrance. Enter the hotel name as your pickup address. Bookingslane is independent and is not affiliated with any hotel or shopping center.

Metro construction on Constellation Boulevard

Metro opened the first stations of its D Line subway extension on May 8, 2026, ending at Wilshire and La Cienega. The next section, through Beverly Hills and Century City, is still under construction underground. Metro planned street restoration and deck removal along Constellation Boulevard starting in spring 2026, with temporary lane reductions and weekend work.

Expect a few slow blocks near the station site, and allow extra time for pickups on Constellation. If a building has an entrance on another street, such as Santa Monica Boulevard or Avenue of the Stars, that is often the quicker meeting point while work continues. Metro posts construction notices for affected businesses and residents. When it opens, the Century City station will connect the district by subway to Beverly Hills, Koreatown and Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles.

LAX and the other airports

LAX is about 11 miles south via Olympic Boulevard, I-405 and Sepulveda Boulevard, usually 20 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, and weekday afternoons sit at the long end. At LAX, ride apps and taxis load at the LAX-it lot next to Terminal 1, while a pre-booked chauffeur coordinates the terminal pickup and confirms the meeting point by text or phone after landing. See LAX to Century City.

Hollywood Burbank Airport is about 15 miles over the hills, usually 30 to 60 minutes; it opened a new terminal in October 2026, so confirm the meeting point with your chauffeur. Van Nuys Airport, used for private flights, is about 16 miles via I-405. Caltrans lane work on I-405 through the Sepulveda Pass, listed for completion in winter 2027, can slow that run.

Short rides and business days

Beverly Hills is about 2 miles east, Culver City about 3 miles south and Santa Monica about 6 miles west, so lunches and meetings across the Westside are short rides. Downtown Los Angeles is about 13 miles east via I-10, usually 25 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. See Beverly Hills for the Golden Triangle.

A day of meetings in several towers, a client lunch and an evening flight fits an hourly booking better than a string of one-way rides, because the chauffeur stays with the vehicle between stops. Century City corporate car service covers deal teams, roadshows and recurring business travel in more detail.

Vehicles for meetings and visitors

For one or two travelers, an Executive Sedan carries up to 3 passengers and 3 bags. For a client group or a deal team, the Escalade Elite carries 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 for a larger team or an offsite.

Capacities are maximums, and an equivalent vehicle may be substituted. On airport arrivals, the chauffeur monitors the flight and arrives based on the actual landing time, and Meet & Greet includes up to one hour of terminal waiting for a visitor who has not been to Los Angeles before.
