BlaakLane.com provides chauffeur service in Beverly Hills booked online at one fixed fare. Enter the hotel or residence, the flight or tail number and the vehicle class, and the price covers airport access fees and included waiting, with gratuity charged at actual cost and added to the booking. LAX, Hollywood Burbank and Van Nuys pickups are tracked to the actual landing, and every trip is driven by a vetted Los Angeles affiliate named on your confirmation.
Booking a chauffeur in Beverly Hills: the four-minute version
The reservation engine on this page asks five things: pickup, destination, date, time and vehicle. For a Beverly Hills trip the pickup is usually a hotel porte-cochère on Wilshire Boulevard or Sunset Boulevard, a gated address in the hills, or a terminal at LAX. Type it, pick a class, and the engine shows one fixed price. You accept it or you change the vehicle; there is no meter and no surge on an awards weekend. You can also start from book.
After you confirm, the 24/7 dispatch desk in Toronto assigns the job to a vetted local affiliate from the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network, contracted to the BlaakLane.com written standard. BlaakLane.com does not own a garage in Los Angeles County, and we say so plainly: the confirmation names the operator, the chauffeur and the vehicle before pickup. For a day that mixes a Rodeo Drive appointment, a studio lot and a dinner in West Hollywood, book hourly chauffeur service so one car stays with you instead of three separate rides.
What does the fixed fare cover in Beverly Hills?
The number you accept is fixed for that route and vehicle. It includes:
- The airport's commercial access charges for LAX, Burbank or a Van Nuys FBO pickup.
- Included waiting: 60 minutes from actual landing on international arrivals, 30 minutes on domestic flights and 15 minutes at hotels, homes and offices; after that, 15-minute blocks.
- A child seat for young passengers, on request and free.
Gratuity for the chauffeur sits outside that number: it is charged at actual cost and added to the booking.
Planning ranges by class are on the rates page. Beverly Hills bookings follow the network-wide cancellation rule: more than 72 hours before pickup costs nothing, 72 hours or less is 10%, 48 hours or less is 50%, and 24 hours or less or a no-show is 100%.
Matching the vehicle to the Beverly Hills trip
Beverly Hills is a place where the car is often photographed as much as the passenger, but the right choice still comes down to luggage, headcount and discretion. From the fleet:
| Occasion | Class that fits | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Solo executive, LAX to the Golden Triangle | Standard Sedan | Quick through Century City traffic |
| Couple with four cases, LAX to a Sunset Boulevard hotel | Executive SUV | Luggage fits without the third row |
| Gala at the Beverly Hilton | Rolls-Royce, Maybach or Bentley (partner) | Arrival at a red-carpet drop lane |
| Film crew between two studio lots | Sprinter Van | One vehicle, one call time |
| Bridal party at a Beverly Hills estate | Stretch limousine (partner) | Space for dresses and photos |
| High-profile guest with paparazzi exposure | Armoured SUV (partner) | Only after a risk assessment |
| Conference delegates to a hotel ballroom | Minicoach or motorcoach | Planned by a coordinator and confirmed in writing |
Every affiliate vehicle is four model years old or younger. The exception is Rolls-Royce, Maybach and Bentley, which are accepted up to seven model years, a rule that matters in a city where classic-looking cars are common.
LAX to Beverly Hills: terminals, curb and timing
Los Angeles International Airport has Terminals 1 to 8 arranged in a horseshoe around the Central Terminal Area, plus the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), which handles most long-haul arrivals. Taxis and app rides were moved to the LAX-it lot east of Terminal 1 in 2019, but permitted limousine and pre-arranged operators still pick up at the terminal curb on the Arrivals (lower) level after baggage claim. That curbside pickup is standard on every BlaakLane.com booking. A name-board meet and greet inside the arrivals hall is an add-on; add-ons are only available in selected locations, and the engine shows when it can be added.
The drive is about 11 to 13 miles. Via La Cienega Boulevard or the I-405, allow 30 to 45 minutes midday and 50 to 75 minutes in the evening peak. The Central Terminal Area loop itself can add 15 minutes at busy hours, which is why the chauffeur watches your inbound flight and times the curb approach to the moment you clear bags. The LAX Automated People Mover, linking the terminals to a Metro station and the new rental car centre, was still being completed in 2026; it does not change how a pre-arranged car collects you.
International passengers clear US Customs and Border Protection inside the terminal before reaching the curb. Visa Waiver travellers need an approved ESTA before boarding, and Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line. Because TBIT queues vary a lot, the 60-minute included wait begins at actual landing, not at the scheduled time.
Burbank, Long Beach and Orange County as alternatives
Hollywood Burbank Airport is smaller and often faster. It is about 12 to 14 miles from Beverly Hills over Laurel Canyon or around via the US-101, typically 25 to 50 minutes. It suits studio travellers heading to Burbank or Universal City first. Long Beach Airport is roughly 28 miles south, 45 to 80 minutes, and John Wayne Airport in Orange County is about 45 miles, often 60 to 100 minutes on the I-405. Book the airport you are actually flying into; the fare adjusts to the distance.
Private jets: Van Nuys and the Westside FBOs
Most business aviation for Beverly Hills lands at Van Nuys Airport, one of the busiest general aviation fields in the United States. Signature, Clay Lacy Aviation and Jet Aviation operate FBOs on the field. It is about 12 miles from the Beverly Hills Hotel over the Sepulveda Pass on the I-405, usually 25 to 50 minutes, and longer when the pass is congested on a Friday afternoon. Add the tail number and FBO name when you book; the chauffeur meets the aircraft at the FBO under that FBO's own ramp rules. See private aviation and FBO transfers for how wheels-down timing is handled. Santa Monica Airport, closer to the coast, is scheduled by its city to close to aviation at the end of 2028, so most operators already plan around Van Nuys.
Where Beverly Hills trips actually go
Beverly Hills is a separate city of about 32,000 residents, entirely surrounded by the City of Los Angeles apart from West Hollywood on its eastern edge. Its useful map is small:
- The Golden Triangle, bounded by Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard and Canon Drive, holds Rodeo Drive, Two Rodeo, the flagship boutiques and many of the talent agencies and wealth managers.
- The Flats north of Santa Monica Boulevard are the grid of residential streets below Sunset Boulevard.
- Trousdale Estates and the hills above Sunset have narrow, winding roads where an SUV is more manoeuvrable than a stretch car.
- Century City, technically in Los Angeles, starts a few blocks west and holds law firms, the Westfield mall and office towers along the Avenue of the Stars.
- West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip begin to the east; Bel Air and Holmby Hills sit to the west toward UCLA.
Hotels that generate the most pickups include the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset, the Beverly Wilshire at the foot of Rodeo Drive, The Peninsula Beverly Hills, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, the Montage Beverly Hills and the Beverly Hilton at Wilshire and Santa Monica. Hotel doormen expect the chauffeur to use the porte-cochère briefly, not to park there, so we time arrival to your door rather than waiting in the drive.
The Beverly Hills event calendar, month by month
Demand spikes around a predictable set of dates. Book these as early as you can:
- January: the Golden Globe Awards are traditionally held at the Beverly Hilton in early January, with parties across the city that week.
- February and March: awards season peaks with the Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, usually in March; Beverly Hills hotels host many of the pre-parties.
- June: the Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance closes the street for classic cars on Father's Day.
- Summer: outdoor concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and the Greek Theatre, both a 20 to 35 minute drive east.
- November and December: holiday lighting on Rodeo Drive and a surge of shopping and hotel events.
For award nights, a coordinator plans staging with the venue's drop lane and confirms it in writing, part of our event transportation service.
Rail, the cruise port and the Metro
Los Angeles Union Station is about 12 miles east, typically 30 to 55 minutes. It is the hub for Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner to San Diego and Santa Barbara and for Metrolink commuter trains. The Metro D Line subway extension opened its first section under Wilshire Boulevard to Wilshire/La Cienega on the Beverly Hills edge in May 2026, with further stations toward the Golden Triangle and Century City still under construction. For sailings, the World Cruise Center in San Pedro is about 25 miles away, 40 to 75 minutes, and the Long Beach Cruise Terminal is about 28 miles, 45 to 80 minutes.
Intercity routes from Beverly Hills

| Malibu (central) | 22 miles | 40-70 minutes |
| Newport Beach | 50 miles | 70-110 minutes |

Driving realities: traffic, tolls and parking
California drives on the right. Traffic, not distance, sets every timing on the Westside: the I-405 through the Sepulveda Pass and the I-10 between downtown and Santa Monica are among the most congested corridors in the country, and surface streets such as Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards slow sharply from 3 pm to 7 pm. There are no tolls between Beverly Hills and LAX. The Metro ExpressLanes on the I-10 and I-110 and the toll roads in Orange County need a FasTrak transponder. Beverly Hills restricts commercial stopping on many residential streets and enforces parking closely in the Golden Triangle, so the car circles or waits in a legal spot and comes back on your message.
