A planned office district on Avenue of the Stars
Century City is a district of the City of Los Angeles, set between Beverly Hills and Westwood. Discover Los Angeles notes that the land was a ranch and then a studio backlot before it was redeveloped in the 1960s as a master-planned commercial and residential city-within-a-city, with only around 2,500 residents. Much of the city's legal and entertainment business is done in its towers, which line Avenue of the Stars, Century Park East and Constellation Boulevard.
Century Park, at 2000 Avenue of the Stars, takes up an entire 14-acre block, with a trio of office buildings around a four-acre park. Westfield Century City, at 10250 Santa Monica Boulevard, sits on the district's northern edge and is a common spot for client lunches. The towers stand close together and most have separate lobby and garage entrances, so the building address alone is not always enough. Add the entrance your host suggests, and the chauffeur stops at the right door.
Metro construction and the last few blocks
Metro is extending the D Line subway west under Wilshire Boulevard. Section 1, with stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega, opened on May 8, 2026, and Section 2 through Beverly Hills and Century City remains under construction, with station work progressing underground. Metro says street restoration and deck removal along Constellation Boulevard were planned to begin in spring 2026 and may bring temporary lane reductions and weekend work.
Lane changes near the station site can move from week to week, which matters most for a meeting with a fixed start time. The chauffeur adjusts the approach on the day, but add a short buffer before the first meeting and share the lobby or garage entrance in your booking notes, so a detour does not leave you on the wrong side of a tower. Until the station opens, a car remains the most direct way in with luggage or a tight schedule.
LAX and the other airports
LAX is about 11 miles south, usually 20 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, by way of Santa Monica Boulevard, I-405 and Sepulveda Boulevard. Weekday afternoons push the trip to the long end of the range, so a departure after a late meeting needs a generous buffer plus your airline's check-in advice. See LAX to Century City for the arrival route and how the terminal pickup works.
Hollywood Burbank Airport is about 15 miles away over the hills, and Van Nuys Airport, used for private aviation, is about 16 miles north on I-405. On arrivals, the chauffeur monitors the flight and arrives based on the actual landing time. International arrivals include 45 to 60 minutes of complimentary waiting after landing, and Meet & Greet includes up to one hour of terminal waiting, which helps when a visiting client's flight is late and the first meeting is already set.
Visiting clients and hotel guests
Hotels on Avenue of the Stars have their own drives, so a visiting client can often walk to the first meeting and ride to the rest. For a guest staying across the line in Beverly Hills, the Golden Triangle is about 2 miles east. Use the traveler's mobile number on the reservation, because the chauffeur's details and a live tracking link arrive before pickup and should reach the person riding. Bookingslane is independent and not affiliated with any hotel.
For a lunch at Westfield Century City, the center has a Rideshare Hub on Santa Monica Boulevard near parking level P1 Pink, which is a clear landmark to agree on with the chauffeur. If a client's meeting may run long on a one-way pickup, waiting beyond the complimentary allowances is billed at the hourly rate of the vehicle booked. In that case, an hourly booking is usually the simpler choice.
Westside roadshows from Century City
Century City sits in the middle of the Westside office market, which makes it a natural hub for a roadshow day. A typical loop starts at a Beverly Hills hotel, meets in Century City, lunches in Culver City or Santa Monica and ends with an LAX departure, all on one hourly booking. Build buffers of 15 to 30 minutes between stops, and more for legs on I-405 or I-10 in the late afternoon. Distances below follow the usual routes from Avenue of the Stars.
- Beverly Hills: about 2 miles, 5 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic
- Culver City: about 3 miles, 10 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic
- Westwood and UCLA: about 3 miles, 10 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic
- Downtown Santa Monica: about 6 miles, 15 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic
- Playa Vista: about 8 miles, 20 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic
- Burbank Media District: about 11 miles, 25 to 55 minutes, depending on traffic
- Downtown Los Angeles: about 11 miles, 25 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic
Sizing an hourly day
Online hourly bookings start at 3 hours, and time past the booked hours is billed at the hourly rate of the vehicle booked. Add up the time in each meeting, the drive between buildings and a traffic buffer, then round up to the next full hour. A morning of back-to-back meetings inside Century City may fit a short block, while a day that adds Downtown and an LAX departure needs considerably more. Our hourly corporate itinerary guide walks through the math.
