Dodger Stadium car service and chauffeur

Dodger Stadium draws a stadium-sized crowd on game nights, with fans arriving through a handful of auto gates and leaving at almost the same time after the final out. For Dodgers games and stadium events, hourly service of typically 5 to 8 hours is strongly recommended over a one-way pickup, because a baseball game has no fixed end time and the post-game exit is slow. An hourly reservation keeps the chauffeur and vehicle dedicated to you, so extra innings or a post-game event do not leave you searching for a ride.

The Dodgers encourage ride sharing and car service vehicles and publish a specific route for them. Uber, the team's official rideshare partner, may enter any auto gate to drop off, while all other car services are directed to Gate B for drop-off in Lot 1. Once passengers are out, Uber and car service vehicles must exit through Gate B. After the game, car service vehicles are permitted to enter again through Gate B to pick up passengers in Lot 1, so Lot 1 is where you meet your chauffeur.

The team moved the rideshare location from Lot 11 to Lot 1 and shifted entry to Gate B to reduce congestion at Gate A and speed up arrivals. An older Dodgers page still mentions Sunset Gate A and Lot 11 for car services, so confirm on the day and follow parking staff if they redirect you. Taxis use a separate area: they drop off and pick up on the first base side of Lot I.

Dodger Stadium says parking gates open about two and a half hours before the start of a game and stadium gates open about two hours before first pitch, adding that gate times may vary. Re-entry is not permitted, so anything you need for the game should leave the car with you. The stadium's bag rules are strict, and lockers in Lot H and Lot N hold bags that do not meet the policy for a flat fee. Plan the pickup so you reach Lot 1 with time to walk up, clear security and find your seats before the anthem.

• Clear plastic bags up to 12 by 12 by 6 inches and clutches up to 5 by 8 by 2 inches are allowed
• Backpacks, coolers and large purses are not permitted
• Outside food is allowed in a clear bag within the size limit
• Share the chauffeur's details and tracking link with your group

When the game ends, the lots empty through the Downtown, Academy and Sunset gates, and the Dodgers publish separate departure routes from each gate toward I-110, I-5 and US-101. Car service pickups come back in through Gate B to Lot 1, which fills quickly in the first half hour. With hourly service you can stay for the last pitch or leave in the seventh, and your chauffeur works the timing around you. Message your chauffeur when you start walking down, and use the live tracking link to find the vehicle in Lot 1.

The Dodgers classify any vehicle that does not fit a standard parking space as oversized, including buses, motor homes and limousines. Oversized vehicles are directed to park in Lot 12, with Sunset Gate A on Vin Scully Avenue as the recommended entrance, and the parking pass should be bought before arrival; the gates do not take cash. If your group books a Sprinter van and wants it parked rather than circulating, your chauffeur plans around these rules, while drop-off and pickup still follow the car service route through Gate B to Lot 1.

A Comfort Sedan or Executive Sedan carries up to 3 passengers, which suits a couple or a client and a guest. A Luxury SUV carries up to 7 passengers and the Escalade Elite up to 6, a good size for a family. For a company outing or a birthday group, the Mercedes Sprinter Van carries up to 16 passengers, so everyone arrives together and leaves from one meeting point. Capacities are maximums, and an equivalent vehicle may be substituted for the class shown.

Dodger Stadium is about 20 miles from LAX via I-105 and I-110, typically 30 to 70 minutes depending on traffic, and the Dodgers' own directions from LAX follow the same freeways to the Dodger Stadium exit. From Hollywood Burbank Airport the drive is about 15 miles, mostly on I-5, and from Beverly Hills about 11 miles via Santa Monica Boulevard and US-101, usually 25 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Visiting fans can be met at LAX, and our Los Angeles service area page covers hotels downtown and nearby.
