BlaakLane.com books Burbank Airport car service at a fixed fare shown before you confirm. Enter your flight, the address and a vehicle class; the chauffeur tracks the landing, waits 30 minutes free, and meets you at the area Hollywood Burbank Airport designates for pre-arranged ground transportation outside Terminal A or B.
How do I book car service at Hollywood Burbank Airport?
Choose Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) in the reservation engine on this page or the book page, add the flight number and your destination, and pick a class. The price on screen is fixed: no meter, no surge, and no change if the 101 is jammed through the Cahuenga Pass. Add a mobile number you will have switched on.
Los Angeles trips are driven by a vetted local affiliate operator from the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network, contracted to the BlaakLane.com written standard. The confirmation names operator, chauffeur and vehicle, and the Toronto desk runs 24/7.
Terminals A and B, and the new terminal
Hollywood Burbank Airport, owned by a joint authority of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena, is one of the easiest airports in the Los Angeles area to use. Two small terminals, A and B, sit side by side with short walks from gate to curb, and Southwest Airlines carries a large share of flights alongside several other domestic carriers. A replacement terminal is being built on the airport's north-east side; the airport's website publishes the opening schedule and any changes to the pickup layout. Enter your flight number and the booking follows the terminal.
Where does the chauffeur pick you up at BUR?
Standard service is curbside at the zone the airport designates for pre-arranged ground transportation near baggage claim. Once you have your bags, message the chauffeur, who replies with the exact spot and car details. The chauffeur does not wait inside by default. A name-board welcome at baggage claim is the meet and greet add-on; add-ons are only available in selected locations, and the booking engine shows the option where offered.
Burbank is a domestic airport: flights come from within the United States, so there is no customs hall. International travellers to Los Angeles land at LAX.

Los Angeles traffic is the variable. The 5, the 134, the 101 and the 405 all slow sharply at peak, and a canyon route can beat the freeway. None of it affects the fare.
Train alternatives: Metrolink and Amtrak at the airport
Burbank is one of the few US airports with regional rail beside the terminal. Burbank Airport-South station, a short walk or shuttle ride away, is served by Metrolink Ventura County Line trains and by Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains toward downtown, Santa Barbara and San Diego. Burbank Airport-North station, linked by shuttle, serves the Antelope Valley Line. Trains to Los Angeles Union Station take about 20 to 30 minutes but run on a commuter timetable, sparse at night and at weekends. A car suits Hollywood, the Westside, families with bags and late flights.
The studios and entertainment travel
Burbank is the working heart of the film and television business: Warner Bros., Walt Disney Studios and many post-production and broadcast facilities are minutes from the runway, and Universal City is just over the hill. Productions and talent move through BUR every week, often on tight call times. Our entertainment and touring page explains cast, crew and tour logistics; multi-vehicle moves for a production are planned by a coordinator and confirmed in writing.

Awards season, the Rose Parade and other busy dates
Awards season from January to March fills Hollywood and Beverly Hills with red-carpet events, and the Academy Awards are usually held in March at the Dolby Theatre, when streets around Hollywood Boulevard close. The Rose Parade in Pasadena on New Year's Day and the Rose Bowl game that follows close much of the city. The Emmy Awards are usually in September. On these dates, book early and allow extra time.
Departing from Burbank: when to be collected
Burbank's small terminals move quickly, and many travellers arrive about 90 minutes before a domestic flight. From the studios or Glendale, a pickup two hours ahead is comfortable. From Beverly Hills, West Hollywood or Santa Monica, allow two and a half to three hours on a weekday afternoon, when the 101 and the 405 are at their slowest. Tell us the airline so the chauffeur drops you at the right terminal, and give a call time rather than a flight time if you are coming straight from a set.
Waiting, delays and cancellation
Included waiting is 30 minutes from actual landing, then 15-minute blocks. Cancellation: more than 72 hours before pickup, no charge; 72 hours or less, 10%; 48 hours or less, 50%; 24 hours or less, or a no-show, 100%.
