The route: I-405, then the right exit

From LAX, the chauffeur takes Century Boulevard to I-405 south and stays on the freeway for about 4 to 6 miles, then exits based on where you are going. Prairie Avenue leads to Del Amo Fashion Center and central Torrance, about 11 miles from the airport. Hawthorne Boulevard runs south to Torrance Memorial Medical Center, about 12 miles, and Crenshaw Boulevard leads to Old Torrance, about 12 miles.

Torrance covers 21 square miles, from 1.5 miles of beach on its west side to neighborhoods and business districts inland, so the exit matters as much as the freeway. I-405 is slowest on weekday mornings from about 7 to 10 a.m. and afternoons from about 3 to 7 p.m., and surface streets such as Hawthorne Boulevard carry heavy local traffic at the same hours.

Del Amo Fashion Center and offices

Del Amo Fashion Center, at 3525 Carson Street, describes itself as having more than 250 stores and restaurants, with many entrances and parking areas around it. Give the store, restaurant or entrance you want, and the car can pull up there rather than circling the lots. Hotels and office buildings nearby along Hawthorne Boulevard and Torrance Boulevard usually have a front drive or visitor entrance.

Torrance is home to many corporate offices, and visits often run across several buildings or neighboring cities in a single day. Give the building name and the lobby or gate you were told to use. For a schedule of meetings, corporate transportation covers multi-stop days, and hourly service has a 3-hour minimum online.

Torrance Memorial Medical Center

Torrance Memorial Medical Center is on Lomita Boulevard, with campus access from Lomita Boulevard, Skypark Drive, Medical Center Drive and nearby Early Avenue. The Main Entrance is on Hospital and Technology Drive off Lomita Boulevard, near the Main Parking Structure, while the West Tower and Outpatient Center are near Medical Center Drive and the West Parking Structure. Enter the building you need as the drop-off, not just the hospital name.

For patients and family members flying in for an appointment, Meet & Greet is an add-on that includes up to one hour of terminal waiting, so your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal instead of at the curb. Mention a wheelchair or walker in your trip notes so the vehicle has room for it. For discharge pickups, follow your care team's instructions on where to meet, and share them with your chauffeur.

Torrance Airport and private flights

Torrance Municipal Airport, Zamperini Field, at 3301 Airport Drive, is a general aviation airport with about 543 based aircraft and several fixed base operators offering services such as flight instruction, maintenance and charter flights. The city describes it as primarily serving private aircraft, so airline travelers use LAX. If you are connecting to a charter or private flight, give the FBO name and your departure time in the booking notes, and the airport transfers page lists other airports.

How the LAX pickup works

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 moves the pickup with it. International arrivals include 45 to 60 minutes of complimentary waiting after landing, and domestic arrivals include a complimentary waiting period. You receive chauffeur details and a live tracking link before pickup.

Ride apps and taxis load at LAX-it, next to Terminal 1, while pre-booked car services pick up at the white passenger pickup curb on the outer lane of the arrivals level. Construction can close or move curbs at specific terminals, so your chauffeur confirms the exact meeting point by text or phone after you land. See LAX airport transfers for terminal details.

Choosing a vehicle

Capacities below are maximums from the live catalog. A sedan suits one to three travelers with a bag each, and a team visiting several offices often fits better in an SUV or the van. If you are near the limit on both passengers and bags, move up a size, and add rear-facing child safety seats or booster seats at booking if you need them.

  • Comfort Sedan: up to 3 passengers and 3 bags
  • Executive Sedan: up to 3 passengers and 3 bags
  • Escalade Elite: up to 6 passengers and 5 bags
  • Luxury SUV: up to 7 passengers and 6 bags
  • Mercedes Sprinter Van: up to 16 passengers and 18 bags

Torrance to LAX: the return trip

Book the return with the outbound as a round trip, and both legs appear as two linked reservations. For a weekday afternoon flight, plan on the long end of the 20 to 45 minute drive, then add your airline's recommended check-in time. Drop-off is on the departures level at your terminal. The Redondo Beach route covers the coast just west of Torrance.
