Calabasas to LAX Car Service
Private chauffeured transfers between Calabasas and Los Angeles International Airport. about 30 miles, typically 45–75 minutes, flat rate quoted before you book.
The route
From Calabasas the run to LAX is normally the 101 south to the 405, then down through the Sepulveda Pass to the airport. When the 405 is stacked — and between about 3pm and 7pm on a weekday it usually is — the alternative is Malibu Canyon to PCH and in along the coast. It is a few miles longer and often faster. Your chauffeur checks both before leaving rather than committing to one and hoping.
LAX to Calabasas
The return leg works the same way. We track your inbound flight and set the pickup from the actual landing time, so a delay costs you nothing. You can be met curbside on the arrivals level, or inside baggage claim with a name board if you would rather be walked to the car.
Booked as a round trip, both legs keep the same vehicle class and, where scheduling allows, the same chauffeur.

Worth knowing
The 405 sets your departure time, not the distance
Thirty miles sounds like forty minutes, and at 6am it is. At 5pm the same trip can take well over an hour. We set pickup from your flight time and the hour you are travelling, and we would rather you waited at the gate than at the curb.
Gated communities need a name at the gate
The Oaks, Hidden Hills and several Calabasas Park streets need the chauffeur cleared with the guard in advance. Give us the community and gate when you book and we handle it, so nobody is sitting at an entry phone at 4am.
Early flights are the norm here
Most Calabasas departures are the first bank out of LAX. Those pickups run between 3:30am and 5am and are booked routinely — the vehicle is warm, and the chauffeur does not need reminding to be quiet in a sleeping neighborhood.
Vehicles for this route
Most airport runs go in a luxury sedan for one or two passengers with normal luggage, or an SUV when there are golf clubs, ski bags or a third passenger. Larger parties travel by Sprinter van — tell us the luggage count and we will size the vehicle to it rather than guessing.
Questions
