Continental · Flat-rate transfer
Kia Forum → West Hollywood.
Unlike the newer arenas a mile away, the Forum has no freeway at its door, so the $193 all-in for a private Cadillac Escalade ESV is really buying a chauffeur who knows how to get off Manchester and Prairie after a sold-out house. Those streets take a good twenty minutes to let a full Forum go, and once they do it is 15 miles north and about 34 minutes to West Hollywood. We stage clear of the venue so that first stretch is walking rather than waiting, then run La Cienega or the 405 depending on which one is moving at that hour.

Pickup
The Forum empties through a handful of gates onto Manchester and Prairie, so your chauffeur picks a spot on the far side of that flow and texts it to you with a pin while the last song is still going. It is usually a two or three minute walk, and it beats twenty minutes in the exit line by a wide margin. Staying for the encore changes nothing: he holds where he is until you move, and you can text him from your seat.
Drop-off
Back in West Hollywood we drop at the door, whether that is a hotel porte cochere on Sunset, a restaurant entrance on Melrose or Robertson, or your own driveway in the hills above the Strip. Late at night the streets off Sunset Plaza and Kings Road are tight and dark, so your chauffeur takes you up to the gate rather than leaving you on a corner. If the night is not over, a stop on Santa Monica Boulevard on the way home is easy to add.
Why Continental for this route
A Forum night is usually a concert, which means one encore and then the whole house on the sidewalk at the same minute, later than a ball game would have put you there. Getting home is 15 miles of Prairie and La Cienega with a run of lights that hold a full cycle each, plus whichever freeway is still moving by then, and midnight is the worst hour to be judging that for yourself. Your chauffeur reads that corridor from the first block, so the concentration is somebody else's, and while the house is still filing out he holds his spot rather than moving the car and coming back for you.
Kia Forum to West Hollywood, common questions
How much is a car from Kia Forum to West Hollywood?
$193 for the one-way trip in a black Cadillac Escalade ESV with a professional chauffeur, carrying up to 6 passengers. The number is fixed at booking and is not re-priced for a sold-out night, a late encore or heavy traffic. There is no surge.
How long does it take to get from the Kia Forum to West Hollywood?
The drive is 28-40 min when the roads are clear, and realistically 55-85 min after a full house, with most of the extra spent getting out of Inglewood. If you leave before the last song, you land near the low end. Your chauffeur will tell you honestly what the streets look like when you text.
What if the show runs long?
We wait. Your chauffeur holds the pickup point and stays in touch by text, and the transfer price does not change because the set ran over. A pickup that lands between 11pm and 5am carries a late-night fee, which you see before you confirm the booking rather than afterwards.
Where exactly do we meet the car after the show?
On a specific street corner near the arena, sent to you by text with your chauffeur's number before the show ends. We pick it on the night, because the lanes around Manchester and Prairie open and close as the crowd clears. Expect a short walk away from the exit crush, which is faster than any car trying to reach the doors.
Can you take a group to different stops in West Hollywood?
Yes. One Escalade carries up to 6, and multiple drop-offs on the way home are fine when you list them at booking. Give us the addresses in the order you want them and your chauffeur will route the loop, which on a quiet night costs less time than people expect.
