Popular chauffeur routes from LAX and Los Angeles

Bookingslane route guides fall into two groups. Airport routes start at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and end at a hotel, home, office or venue, so the pickup depends on your flight. City-to-city routes start at an address in Los Angeles at a time you choose and run to another city, from Anaheim, about 27 miles from Downtown, to Las Vegas, about 270 miles away. Each guide covers the freeways used, the slow hours to avoid, arrival details at the destination and how to plan the return leg.

On an airport route, add your flight number when you book. The chauffeur monitors the flight and arrives based on the actual landing time, so an early or late arrival changes the pickup rather than leaving you waiting. International arrivals include 45 to 60 minutes of complimentary waiting after landing, and domestic arrivals include a complimentary waiting period. On a city-to-city route, the pickup is the time you set, and on both kinds of trip you receive chauffeur details and a live tracking link before pickup.

LAX sits on the west side of Los Angeles, so most drives start on I-105 heading east, I-405 heading north or south, or Lincoln and Sepulveda Boulevards along the coast. Rides to the Westside are usually under an hour, while Orange County and the desert take longer. These guides cover the most-booked rides from the airport, with distances measured along the main route:

• LAX to Disneyland: about 34 miles, planned around families, car seats and resort hotels
• LAX to Anaheim: about 34 miles to the Anaheim Convention Center, Honda Center and Angel Stadium
• LAX to Beverly Hills: about 12 miles via I-405 or La Cienega Boulevard
• LAX to Santa Monica: about 9 miles via Lincoln Boulevard
• LAX to Newport Beach: about 44 miles via I-405
• LAX to Pasadena: about 28 miles via I-110 and the Arroyo Seco Parkway
• LAX to Palm Springs: about 125 miles via I-10, also from anywhere in Los Angeles

Long-distance rides cover destinations within California, plus Los Angeles and Orange County to and from Las Vegas. These routes usually start at a hotel or home, and several also work from LAX. On drives of two hours or more, the time you leave matters as much as the distance: Friday afternoons heading out of Los Angeles and Sunday afternoons heading back are the slowest windows on most of these corridors.

• Los Angeles to Anaheim: about 27 miles from Downtown via I-5, for park days, games and conventions
• Los Angeles to San Diego: about 120 miles via I-5, also from LAX
• Los Angeles to Santa Barbara: about 95 miles via US-101
• Los Angeles to Las Vegas: about 270 miles via I-15

Every route is booked by vehicle class, and capacities are maximums from the live catalog: the Comfort Sedan and Executive Sedan carry up to 3 passengers and 3 bags, the Escalade Elite up to 6 passengers and 5 bags, the Luxury SUV up to 7 passengers and 6 bags, and the Mercedes Sprinter Van up to 16 passengers and 18 bags. Extra room matters more on a long drive than on a short hop, so if your group is near both limits, move up a size. Compare cabins on the fleet page.

If you already know when you are coming back, book the route as a round trip. Both legs are booked together and appear as two linked reservations, each with its own pickup time, so the return is settled before you leave. This suits a weekend in Palm Springs or Santa Barbara, a day at the Disneyland Resort, or a convention in Anaheim that ends on a known date.

When a day involves several stops, such as meetings across Orange County or a shopping day in Beverly Hills, hourly service can suit you better than separate point-to-point rides. Hourly bookings have a 3-hour minimum online, and the car stays with you as directed between stops. For stadium and arena concerts, hourly service of about 5 to 8 hours is strongly recommended over a one-way pickup.

These pages do not publish fixed fares. Enter your pickup, destination, date and time, and live prices appear for each vehicle class. The total shown at checkout is the amount charged, including the gratuity you select and any add-ons such as Meet & Greet, a rear-facing child safety seat or a booster seat. A reservation is confirmed once payment is completed and the confirmation e-mail arrives. A saved quote is not a reservation.
