Shrine Auditorium car service and chauffeur

The Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall hosts concerts and large events in two connected spaces on Jefferson Boulevard, a short walk from USC and the Metro E Line. The venue is operated by Goldenvoice, and it openly encourages guests to use rideshare apps to get to and from shows rather than drive and park. Hourly service follows the same idea with fewer unknowns: your chauffeur takes you to the door, stays nearby, and is ready when the show ends, instead of you waiting for an app ride on a crowded block.

The Shrine lists its rideshare drop-off and pickup location as the venue address, 665 W. Jefferson Boulevard. That is the point your chauffeur aims for on arrival and again after the show. Because many guests use the same curb at the same time, confirm the exact meeting spot by phone or through the live tracking link as you leave, and allow a few minutes for Jefferson Boulevard traffic to move.

According to the venue, all entrances are accessible, and elevators serve the north and south auditorium lobbies. ADA parking is available in the Shrine West Lot, the North Parking Structure and the USC Shrine Structure, and accessible restrooms are in the main downstairs lobby. If someone in your group needs a shorter walk, tell us when you book so the chauffeur can plan around it.

The venue names four places to park: the Shrine West Lot at 715 W. Jefferson Boulevard and the North Parking Structure at 714 W. 32nd Street, both run by the Shrine, plus the USC Shrine Structure at 686 W. 32nd Street and the Royal St Structure, both run by USC. Advance parking is sold through AXS, and tailgating is not allowed in any lot. The USC Shrine Structure also appears on the nearby Galen Center's parking list, so on nights when both venues have events, expect it to fill sooner.

The North Parking Structure has 40 paid electric vehicle charging stations. The venue also notes that if you see Lot Full signs posted, you should disregard them and check in with the attendant, which is useful to know if your chauffeur is parking nearby during the show. Accessible seating is sold on AXS, and sign language interpreter requests should be made at least two weeks before the concert.

The Shrine is cashless for bars, concessions and merchandise. Oversized purses and backpacks larger than 14 by 14 by 6 inches are not allowed, and neither are laptops, tablets, blankets, chairs or strollers. Empty plastic water bottles under 32 ounces are permitted, but outside food and drinks, including candy, are not. Door times vary by event, so check your ticket and plan the pickup to reach Jefferson Boulevard comfortably before doors open.

• Check the door time on your ticket
• Bags over 14 by 14 by 6 inches are not allowed
• Bring an empty plastic bottle under 32 ounces
• Cards, not cash, at bars and merchandise stands

Crowds from the Auditorium and the Expo Hall can let out close together, and rideshare cars and parking traffic converge on Jefferson Boulevard and 32nd Street at the same time. With an hourly booking your chauffeur is already on the block or a short distance away, so you are not refreshing an app while the curb clears. Message the chauffeur when you start walking out and meet at the agreed point near 665 W. Jefferson Boulevard.

The Shrine is about 15 miles from LAX, mostly on I-105 and I-110, a drive of roughly 25 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. From Santa Monica it is about 14 miles on I-10, typically 25 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. Downtown Los Angeles hotels are a short drive north, and the venue says the Jefferson/USC station on the Metro E Line, formerly the Expo Line, is a 5 minute walk if part of your group arrives by train.

A Comfort Sedan or Executive Sedan carries up to 3 passengers, enough for a couple or a pair of friends. A Luxury SUV carries up to 7 passengers and the Escalade Elite up to 6. For a bigger group, the Mercedes Sprinter Van carries up to 16 passengers, so nobody is left looking for a separate ride after the encore. Capacities are maximums, and an equivalent vehicle may be substituted for the class shown.
