Los Angeles Convention Center car service

The convention center has two buildings, South Hall and West Hall, with about 2.4 million square feet of facility space, five exhibit halls and 64 meeting rooms. Your badge or show guide tells you which hall you need, and that decides the drop-off. The LA Auto Show's visitor guide places the main South Hall entrance at the corner of Pico Boulevard and Figueroa Street, and the West Hall entrance off Gilbert Lindsay Plaza, next to Crypto.com Arena.

The center does not publish its own rideshare zone. The closest designated white zone is the one Crypto.com Arena assigns to ride shares on southbound Figueroa Street between 12th Street and Pico, the block in front of West Hall, and the arena notes that LAPD enforces the No Stopping signs around the district. Your chauffeur will pick a legal curb near your hall and send the exact spot through the live tracking link.

The center is in the middle of its Expansion and Modernization Project and says it remains fully operational while work continues, mostly behind the existing building. Pico Boulevard between Figueroa Street and LA Live Way is fully closed around the clock from December 4, 2025 through March 31, 2028. The West Hall Garage entrance is now reached from LA Live Way, and the center recommends Venice Boulevard, Adams Boulevard or Olympic Boulevard as east and west detours.

Through January 4, 2027, the intersection of Figueroa Street and Washington Boulevard is no through traffic, with all vehicles turning right, on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Lanes are also reduced on Figueroa between 18th and 20th Streets. The center expects most construction to finish by spring 2028, pause for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and reach full completion by spring 2029, so expect detours on every visit for now.

The center's event calendar lists L.A. Comic Con from October 30 to November 1, Build Expo on November 4 and 5, the LA Auto Show from November 20 to 29, and Collect-A-Con Los Angeles on December 19 and 20, among other shows. Public shows draw weekend crowds, while trade events are busiest around morning registration. For the auto show, see our LA Auto Show car service page for show hours and hall entrances.

Each organizer publishes its own attendee guide, and that guide is the place to check for badge pickup, hall assignments and bag rules. The convention center says it does not operate a shuttle, although some nearby hotels may offer one, so plan your own ride for early setup calls and late teardowns.

The convention center is about 16 miles from LAX, typically 30 to 75 minutes depending on traffic, and about 18 miles from Hollywood Burbank Airport. For LAX arrivals, your chauffeur monitors the flight and arrives based on the actual landing time, then meets you at the white passenger pickup curb on the outer lane of the arrivals level, or inside the terminal if you add Meet & Greet. Our LAX car service page and LAX to Downtown Los Angeles route cover the airport leg in detail.

If you are staying in Beverly Hills, about 11 miles away, or Santa Monica, about 14 miles away, plan for the commute into Downtown. A one-way morning drop-off and a booked evening return work well when your schedule is fixed. When the day runs from booth setup to client dinner, hourly service saves you from arranging a new ride between every stop.

Hourly bookings start at 3 hours online and keep one chauffeur and vehicle with you between stops, which suits exhibitors who move between the halls, a hotel and dinners across the city. Time beyond the hours booked is billed at the hourly rate of the vehicle booked. The center lists its garage hours as 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, subject to change, so evening receptions that run late are another reason to keep a car on standby instead of parking.

See hourly chauffeur service for how as-directed days work, and corporate transportation if you are coordinating rides for a team. Before pickup you receive your chauffeur's details and a live tracking link, which makes it easy to share a meeting point with colleagues.

A Comfort Sedan or Executive Sedan carries up to 3 passengers and 3 bags, which fits most solo travelers and pairs. A Luxury SUV carries up to 7 passengers and 6 bags, and the Escalade Elite up to 6 passengers and 5 bags. For a sales team or booth crew, the Mercedes Sprinter Van carries up to 16 passengers and 18 bags, so everyone arrives together for setup. Capacities are maximums, and an equivalent vehicle may be substituted for the class shown.
